Houston German Auto Repair

I have brought several BMWs here over the years, both late model and vintage. I was introduced to the shop by friends in the BMWCCA, and haven't gone anywhere else for more than 10 years. Hans and Adolph are very upfront about the status of your vehicle and honest about costs. Their labor rate is high, but they charge you for actual work, not the "standard" rate at the stealership. The work is outstanding, the shop is cleaner than my kitchen, and they are very good about picking up/dropping off when your car is in for service. I try to do as much maintenance as I can, but when I'm out of time or in over my head, TGA is always my shop of choice. I recommend these guys with no reservations.

If you have a German car that is out of warranty, bring it here. I have had nothing but good experiences here. They are always efficient, friendly, and provide good service. The prices are slightly expensive, but seem to be in range for repairs to German vehicles. I am consistently impressed by the service. Never before have I had an auto repair place bring an issue to my attention, but tell me to wait to repair it because it is not a safety issue. Just recently I was told that I needed to replace some hoses (not sure exactly which hoses or why), but that it was not urgent and they would keep an eye on the issue rather than telling me to spend $500 on it now. I was really surprised by this because most places would have told me to replace it right away. A few other benefits: TGA washes your car after it is serviced and normally gives you a bottle of wine around Christmas time. Also, they have a shuttle that will drop you off at your office or home.

Dealt with them over several years, very honest and reliable, and very teutonic, in the best possible sense. My mother has a bad habit of dropping change in the cigarette lighter in her BMW and shorting out the fuse, they always repair it gratis. They work very quickly and are very prompt in giving you a ride or picking you up. They will give you very clear answers to questions about repairs and are happy to advise which repairs are more important than others. If you have a Mercedes, BMW, or Porsche, I can't reccomend this place highly enough.
