San Carlos German Motor Works

San Carlos, CA 94070-2410

Based on public customer reviews through 2025, San Carlos German Motor Works is frequently praised for honest diagnostics, clear explanations, and knowledgeable technicians/owners (many customers name Tony and Wanda), often resolving issues dealerships couldn’t and serving as a cost‑competitive alternative; recurring concerns include perceived high parts pricing/markup, restrictive policies on customer‑supplied parts, a few unsatisfactory repairs (notably A/C work), occasional terse front‑desk interactions, and firm scheduling rules (appointments required and complex diagnostics typically scheduled rather than done immediately). Recommended by: The Automotive Service Association (ASA).
