What We Do
We love German cars. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and VW — we have been working on them since 1980, from 1960s classics all the way through current models. Over forty-five years serving the South Bay with the cars we are most passionate about.
We also work on all foreign makes and models. If it needs a mechanic, bring it in.
