They produced a detailed, multi…read morepage report addressing everything from fluid quality (not just quantity which is the standard evaluation) to the short, medium and long term concerns regarding the vehicles mechanical life and functionality. This was done in a very timely fashion and at a competitive price. They also came through with flying colors on a last minute decision to replace a vital component, again swiftly and at a competitive price point. Please be aware that their competence has become quite well known in the 78250 zip code so you may likely experience a need to schedule your appointment. The wait will be well worth it.

I can't say enough good things about Bert's Motor Works. This is the second time I have dealt with…read morethis business and again all went extremely well. I took our 2019 MB GLE 400 4matic in for servicing which was overdue. Cary kept in close contact with me and advised me as to what was wrong with the vechile and what was needed to make things right. Over forty faults were found. In speaking with Cary, I knew Bert's had the techs and diagnostic equipment to take care of any and all issues. At pick up time, Cary sat with me in the vehicle and went through a variety of points of maintenance completed and how to use the many interior controls. I didn't have any such service with our vehicles in H-Town over thirty-five years. Bert's Motor Works is a professional business with integrity.

With 92,000 miles on the odometer, they could have told me I need discs and pads, but they didn't. They were totally honest! I always enjoy taking my vehicles to European Auto Werks! Chris and the staff are always very courteous and always reply promptly. They do my A and B services much cheaper than the dealers. Their other services/repairs are half the price of the dealerships....and faster. I have never had to take any of my vehicles back after a repair for something not completed. Have been a customer for many years!

Finally writing a review!…read more After so many years of really outstanding service from European Auto Werks I finally am writing a review based on many visits. If you're looking for a place to confidently take you car that is honest and most of all quality from top to bottom, then it's with European Auto Werks. Chris, Mike and Scott are the ultimate professionals and are "mechanics" mechanics as well as very professional gentleman. They read codes for sure but have a wealth of knowledge that transcends "parts replacers" and computers. Chris keeps you up to date on the progress of work no matter how small or large the job they have worked on for our cars. They strive to meet your budget and preferences for OEM parts which is very rare to find. But, it is that breadth of knowledge and experience that allows them to diagnose, source parts and keep cars running safely and very well. This lady is beyond grateful that they listen to my concerns and keep our cars in top shape and very safe without any upselling. I recommend them highly and without reservation!

After having a really lousy experience at Christian brothers automotive, Phil at Your Mechanic has…read moreconsistently taken care of our family for the last two years! I really know that we are getting the best service possible when we go to them and I'm so thankful that we found them. He has saved us thousands of dollars at this point and is so honest. The quality of work that these guys produce is exceptional and I wish more people knew about them. Although, I do think that their phone is probably ringing off the hook because every time I go there they are always busy! Haha. Thank you for being so wonderful, you guys! Thank you so much!

Been coming to this place for about 25 years. In the early years it was called The Lexus Doc and…read morewas on Basse Rd. I guess Lexus didn't like that because they changed their name to The Dealer Alternative. Now, of course it's known as Your Mechanic. They are definitely the Lexus/Toyota experts although they have done equally amazing work on Jeeps, Infinity's and Cadillacs for me. Mike and his team have always served me well. They're honest, accommodating and do great work. Plus, they're much cheaper than the dealer (hence the earlier names). Dealer quality work at neighborhood garage prices. If you're looking for a mechanic home, I highly recommend giving these guys a shot.

When looking to get a new car, I bought an Audi solely for the fact that I knew the best and most honest mechanic shop for service on these types of vehicles. 3 cars and 11 years later, I still use GCS bc they are simply the best! Berk and his team give is straight, costs are extremely reasonable and the work is second to none! I will only buy German cars that Berk and his team can service simply due to the fact that they are the best team out there! Thank you for always getting me in when needed, executing great work and having awesome customer service - I'm a customer for life!!

Absolutely phenomenal experience with German Car Specialists!…read moreTwo days before Thanksgiving, my BMW X5 M50i started overheating and left me stranded on the side of the highway. I called GCS in a panic and they were incredibly kind and accommodating--they told me they'd stay open until 5pm and to just drop the car in the back if I could get it there after hours. They promised they'd take care of it first thing in the morning, and they delivered 100%. They diagnosed and fixed the overheating issue the very next day, did a full oil change, and even repaired a bad oil leak that the BMW dealership had caused (and never fixed properly). Everything was done quickly, the pricing was extremely fair (way less than the dealership), and the communication throughout was outstanding. I can't say enough good things about German Car Specialists on Tradesman Dr--they saved my holiday and earned a customer for life. I'll never take my BMW back to the dealership again. GCS is simply the best: better service, faster turnaround, and significantly lower cost. Highly, highly recommend!!! Thank you GCS team--you guys are amazing!

She has her car towed to Chad Miller Auto Care and calls me to say she needs a new battery and is being quoted $645. I ask her to hand her phone to an employee, and when I asked why this is so expensive the employee raised their voice at me. I asked for a manager and was informed it was Chad himself I was talking to. I would NOT suggest this mechanic. He is unprofessional and perpetuates the negative stereotype of crooked mechanics preying on young women.

Mine has an oil leak at least 4 different places haven't been able to figure out. Chad's garage gave me some hope, but they were never able to fix it. I take pretty much all "guarantees" with a grain of salt. "Bring it back"...pffft why would I? You couldn't fix it the First time? More likely, I'll just be dumping more money in sonl you can "half fix it" a 2nd time. One mechanic even told my wife to "hit the dash when her A/C wasn't kicking on...AFTER they fixed it. GTFO... Really!? Cost wasn't exactly on the cheap side...maybe fair, but ONLY if they fix the problem. My impression is they had way more cars than they could handle and were trying to rush them outa there. Fair enough, but I will not be taking either of ours back. Fair warning to those that do.

They are AMAZING at communicating what is going on, and are on the ball to call you back or call you with status updates. I was quoted for the timing chain job and then they were able to find different parts to knock off an additional $200. Really great, honest, and fast work that is really refreshing to see in this day and age! Also, today my car broke down and I called them in the morning to see if they could see it on an emergency basis. I had it towed to them by 11:00am and by 3:00 they had diagnosed the problem, communicated the problem to me, and had the car back to me by 4:30pm. They've got my business for life...they really provide the best service in town!!

Avoid M-Technik: Dishonest Business, Zero Proof, & Damaged/Missing Parts…read moreRating: 1/5 I brought my BMW to M-Technik on Monday, May 25, 2026, with a clear $200 diagnostic agreement. What followed was a complete scam involving fabricated labor hours, defensive management, and actual negligence to my vehicle. The "Diagnosis" Scam The Lie: On Tuesday, they claimed they spent an hour diagnosing the car and requested 3 more hours ($200/hr) to continue. I approved it. The Reality: On Wednesday afternoon, I called for an update and was told, "We haven't touched your car yet." The Confrontation: I showed up at 16:00 on Wednesday. My car was untouched. The heavy-set shop manager (not Chris, who was actually helpful) lied and said they were waiting on my approval. When I demanded to know what they did in the first hour I was being billed for, the mechanic couldn't answer. He eventually guessed a code: "Low fuel pressure before the high-pressure fuel pump." The Fact Check: I troubleshot with BMW ISTA+. I told them on Monday the car had a low RAIL pressure code. The low-pressure pump was brand new and tested perfectly at 4.5 bar. There is was no code for "low fuel pressure before the HPFP." The tech completely made it up. We checked my service ticket in the office. There was absolutely zero documentation written on it. I declined the extra hours that night. The next morning, they sent an unprofessional, all-caps text telling me to get a tow truck. Hostage Tactics & Blatant Negligence When picking up the car, I offered to pay the $200 if they could show me just 30 minutes of security camera footage proving they touched my car. The manager refused, using a "trust me bro" excuse that he wasn't going to hook up a computer to the cameras. He held my car hostage until I paid. To make matters worse, they allowed my car to be towed away with the ignition completely turned ON. This threw a massive slew of fault codes across multiple modules. More importantly, leaving the ignition on with the front wheels on the ground can ruin the electric power steering (EPS) system and steering rack as the wheels are forced to turn while active. The Final Straw: Missing Hardware They didn't even know how to properly put my BMW into neutral. I explicitly told them not to pull the mechanical neutral release bolt on the transmission. They ignored me, yanked it anyway, and failed to replace it. I left the shop with missing hardware and had to buy a new transmission bolt out of pocket. (See attached photos on my google review from the next shop). Summary: If you don't know cars, M-Technik will fake diagnostic time and bill you for it. If you do know cars, they will get defensive, hold your car hostage, risk your steering rack, and return it to you with missing hardware. Avoid this shop.
