I was driving thru Paso Robles when the alternator went out on my BMW. Mike at the Autobahn had it fixed the next day. Every other mechanic I called told me they were booked until later in the week. They were really professional and honest. I highly recommend! read more

Hands down best auto shop in North County. I've been going to The Autobahn for a few years now and have had nothing short of exceptional service every time. Mike is a very genuine guy and will tell you exactly what your car needs, as well as what to keep an eye on. Pricing is very fair and service time is extremely quick. Mike and his team will get the job done properly and not oversell you on additional services that aren't needed. I recommend The Autobahn to all my friends and family. Just talk to Mike for a few seconds and you'll immediately see why this is the place to go! read more

I was recommended to the Autobahn by my tire guys and boy were they right. The service manager James was a great guy. Straight shooter and very helpful. Hats off to him and his service techs. My car has some warning lights that turned on, and I really hate going to the dealer. I'd rather pay the IRS than a car dealer when it comes to maintenance. I waited for the service which was extremely professional and courteous. They know how to treat a customer. When the car was ready, the service tech came out to explain everything about the service. 5 stars from Phish! read more

If you want it done right, fast and at a fair price this is the shop to trust. For years these experts have been taking care of my Benz's. You won't find more personal care than the team at Autobahn. On several occasions the owner Super Mike picked me up and shuttled me back and forth from my home after servicing my car. This is a shop I can trust with the service and repair of my daughters car as well. Keep it up "A' team.... read more

My wife has a Volvo and we had a problem for years that no one could fix. The Autobahn was recommended by our mechanic. And since we'll never go to Smith Volvo again, we went to the Autobahn. They figured it out and fixed it and it is running great 6 months later. It's the only place around here we'll take her car. read more

Autobahn is by far the worst automotive shop I have been to his prices are ridiculous. He thinks because he has a Merced's Benz star machine and other spec equipment that he's owed it's weighting gold! He will tell you everything is wrong with your car and some bs story about how it's unbelievable! He's unbelievable! He told me when I asked him why the cost of repairs was so much when other shops were less he got irate and started criticizing me and saying that I can afford my car and for me to just come pic it up and hung up on me. Mind you I had already paid him 2500 and hewanted 2300 more because he wasn't sure which line was leaking. Wtf so let's just buy all the lines at a ridiculous price huh! When he then realized he had manhours invested already he called back and said he was sorry and he's never done that before. Haha lol bullshit! This shop is the exact reason that auto shops are hated even before touching your car. It's unfortunate that a shop with so much ability and potential can fuck it off so bad. Mike we don't owe u shit so get off your damn donkey( cuz that's all it is) and be a mechanic. We understand you have a small 2 car garage but your practices will likely lead to you not having a garage at all and best of all... no customers to take advantage of and condescend when they don't comply and conform. Good day mate. Ps. WATCH OUT!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED Bwaaaahhaahaahaaa read more

The AutoBahn - Auto Repair Near Me - Templeton, California

I swung by because I had a steering malfunction on my BMW 530i. I was greeted by Mike and Peter who were extremely friendly and we're glad to take a look at my car. Turned out that I was pretty low on steering fluid and Peter explained exactly when and how the steering message pops up along with looking at a few other things. The best part was that he topped it off for free. A gesture like this goes a long way, especially from an auto mechanic. Had these guys been closer, I would be a returning customer. Thanks again guys! read more

Mike the owner contacted about the review, I was happy to tell him my issues. He explained to me that his business going through growing pains. Perhaps an ethics class at the community college would help. I don't think Mike is a bad guy, he is just trying to make his way like everybody else. Mike just wants to make as much profit as possible, he just got caught, as I explained to him. I went to Mike initially because he was not a dealership and my first experience with the Autobahn was positive. Yes, there are some wealthy people in Templeton, but not everyone. Some are just average and try to watch their money. Hopefully Mike understands that. read more

Does first class service on my Mercedes and Jaguar. Highly recommend. The service and location are wonderful.

Hi there, I purchased my first Mercedes about 7 months ago. Prior to purchasing, my neighbor told me about the AutoBahn in Templeton. I called and spoke to the owner, Mike about the vehicle I was about to purchase. He gave me so much valuable information, including what future maintenance would be, etc. etc. He said to call him anytime I had a question, and always called me back right away. Since owning my vehicle, he has performed routine service on my car in a timely and professional manner. His staff and James up front are awesome! Always friendly, knowledgeable and take time to explain details of repair/maintenance work. I had a recent issue and he and his repair team spent several extra hours trying to resolve my problem, at NO CHARGE?! Who does that?! A respectable, honest, do the right thing business that cares about the community and customers. Unfortunately I had to take this major repair to Alfano Motors because it was covered under warranty (another completely different review..will not go there on this one)...... Hats off to The AutoBahn.....as long as I own my Mercedes, I will forever use you guys for non-warranty and maintenance and will sing your graces to everyone I know. Your business truly is a one of a kind!!!! read more

Very friendly service. Got me in right away and despite being SUPER busy, I never felt like a number but always a valued customer. Prices were fair and they were very knowledgable in dealing with my BMW. I am glad they are so close by and will be using them for my future servicing needs! read more

Mike works on our two Mercedes and my daughters Jetta. He's an expert in Mercedes, BMW and all German Cars. I'll go here over any shop in the county. 'Ive tried others, but The Autobahn exceeds all expectations. read more

We were on vacation in Paso Robles when our BMW started acting up. We were referred here by another mechanic and we were so glad we found Autobahn. The team identified the problem quickly, fixed it in a couple hours and had us back on our way in no time. The staff was very knowledgable and friendly. They even helped us get reimbursed by BMW America, as the problem was covered by our warranty. I wish Autobahn was closer to our house ... I would use them for all of our repairs. Thank you!!! read more

Very happy with autobahn! After receiving my car not fully repaired by another shop I took my Jetta to mike. He did a great job on my car. He was professional and car runs like a champ now. I would highly recommend auto bahn. read more

Dave was very friendly and helpful. He didn't treat me like a stupid woman, but kept the language in laymen's terms so that I could understand what he was explaining. He was understanding of the budget I had to work with and gave his opinion on which work I should prioritize. Thanks Autobahn! read more

Never going back. Never recommending. Overcharged me and then when I questioned the additional charges the guy at the counter yelled at me. As a female, I found this to be inexcusable. read more

I was driving my mother back to Los Angeles from San Simien. We were coming up the 46 when my drive shaft broke. We were completely stranded at about 5pm 200 miles from home. I limped into Templeton and was given their number. I called and explained the situation. Not only did Mike (owner) and James (service manager) keep the shop open long enough to diagnose my problem. They waved my diagnosis fee when the needed repair was obvious THEN reserved us a rental car 30 miles away and used the owners vehicle to drive us to pick it up. I can't say enough about the customer service and generosity of this service center and the people in it. Highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I had nothing but good service here at a reasonable cost. I bought a used BMW and the previous owner kept meticulous records. This was the place she liked best and I have found it to be top notch. I'm going back. I just scheduled another visit. read more

Mike and his crew are awesome. Very attentive & they know their stuff. Love how they have loaner cars available too. I feel like I can totally trust them and their not going to take advantage or sell me something I don't need done. read more

The owner & the technicians here will go to any length to take care of you. Very trustworthy and nice people to boot. They provide geat communication. If you are a German car aficionado, this is your place. read more

Staff is professional and helpful. After one visit they know me by name. They worked around my schedule. Service was awesome!

These people are professional auto technicians. I am a repeat customer.

We had all 3 of our automobiles serviced at autobahn in Templeton until recently we discovered a bit of dishonesty and neglect. We took a trip to LA when we were about at ventura we began hearing something slapping against the underside of our car, we stopped at a big brand tire store and learned that all 4 tires had metal bands showing and we desperately needed 4 new tires. it amazed both my wife and I how a repair shop that constantly services our cars did not make us aware we needed tires. We had another company service our car upon changing oil and filters they discovered filters that appeared to have not been changed in a very long time and was clogged with debris. The oil pan drain plug ring seal looked like it was never replaced and needed to be. I personally have never trusted autobahn but my wife did until recently. she is finally convinced that autobahn can not be trusted. autobahn has lost all our business 3 vehicles, and also a friend of my wife who had her car serviced since autobahn first opened said she'd never go back there. She also commented she lost her trust in them. I have said it over and over never trust a guy who smiles when he talks to you about repairs and price. During one of our service appointments Mike said he would check out our battery light which was on and preceeded to charge us $90.00 to test the battery with out first advising us of the cost. 90.00 to test a battery that can be purchased for just over a 100.00 dollars? I think that's a little rediculos. My wife's brother in law happen to meet Mikes uncle who said his nephew Mike takes advantage of people and thinks because they drive expensive cars they should do what he feels is necessary no matter what the cost. I personally don't like the guy and we don't trust autobanh. We have taken our vehicles in for a simple oil change and ended up with a 250.00 dollar bill. not fair we will never go to autobanh for service again nor will we ever recommend them. I'm giving 1 star only because it won't allow me to post unless I chose a star. read more
