Auto repair service near Gladstone, MO

German Imports has been at this North Kansas City location since 1997 and is convenient to downtown commuters. We service all makes and models of Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagon, Porsche and Mini Cooper. We use original equipment parts and have the latest diagnostic equipment.

This business is nothing more than a parasitic scam facility. Do not take your vehicle to this repair shop. They falsly advertise as an "authorized repair facility" for major foreign automobiles (BMW, Saab, Mercedes) and they are not. After taking my vehicle to this shop for over two years I became suspicious about the work being performed, the parts being used, and the incredibly high prices I was paying with constant, repeat failures of these expensive parts. I finally contacted my vehicle manufacturer and explained this whole situation to them and they informed me that this business has been "red flagged" as UNAUTHORIZED for any major foreign car repair service. They went on to explain that this shop claims to use genuine parts for whatever vehicle you have but they actually use cheap, aftermarket Chinese parts yet they still charge you for the genuine part you were expecting to get, actually they charge you more!!! After realizing what was going on my vehicle was taken to an authorized facility and they discovered some major damage that had been done during the previous "repairs" and some additional problems that were never brought to my attention because they had been caused by the "mechanics" at this shop in an effort to have me return in need of an additional repair. I've reported them to the BBB and the manufacturer of my vehicle. I've also reported them to the Missouri Highway Patrol who has an investigative unit that focuses on these exact issues since there are crimes involved with tampering with a motor vehicle. Do not make the same mistake we made, stay away from this place. You will pay a ton of money and your repair problems will only get worse.

Out of this world service! My car was towed 2:30p to shop on Friday, diagnosis made, a new starter installed and I was back to driving vehicle by 7p! Great communication through out too. Cannot go wrong here. Angie Fosnough

We were on vacation to visit by brother in KC over the Labor Day weekend. As we began our trek back to Minnesota we determined our wheel bearing was obliterated. We had to contact our insurance company for roadside assistance. No one was open on the holiday so we decided to take a chance with Bert. We dropped our vehicle there and left our keys in the drop box. Bert called the next day and said he'd have us up and running between 1-2pm. He called us shortly after noon stating he was done early. The work was excellent and the cost was very fair. You can trust bert with your automotive needs. If I lived in the area he would definitely become my go-to guy. Thanks Bert!!!!

I took my car up to U-Haul to to get this hitch installed and they had no idea on what they were doing so they were very happy when I said just sell me the hitch and I'll take it someplace that can install I took enough to Brown's automotive and the mechanic name is Junior and he dived right into it which was actually pretty technical but he took care of it and it works and looks great. really got me out of the pinch and I sure appreciate it excellent service.

Great! I was impressed with how much time they were willing to spend with me and I left feeling confident in what I was told. I also feel comfortable going back and asking questions if needed. Very impressed with this process.

Horrible customer service. Was not able to get hold of anybody to answer my question about my vehicle. I purchased it there about a year ago and decided to give their service a try, but was very dissapointed. Will not try again.

You need to stay away from this mechanic because he doesn't t know how to fix cars. He told me that i need to fix my thermostat and there is a leaking problem in my car as well. He told me that he even could t find the thing that was leaking. He was fixing my car last Saturday, and just wasted my time and money. He started at 11 am and finished at 9 pm. He told me that he started to fix smth else instead of the thermostat because first he couldn't t find that thermostat. Eventually when he found that thermostat, he wasn't able even to fix it. I came home from my job on Friday, and there was a steam coming from my car, so on Saturday i called this idiot, who doesn't know his job at all. I was home on Sunday and didn't t drive my car. On Monday i barely could reach my job. There was a steam coming from my car again and that thermostat sign was on my dashboard again. I went to a car service, and they fixed everything for me. Thanks to that service i drive my car safely now. They told me that whoever was fixing my thermostat didn't t tighten up everything and it could blow up my engine and got me in big trouble. I paid $200 for nothing. He told me that he fixed my thermostat and i couldn't t drive my car even for one day. He didn't t fix my thermostat. So if you want to waste your time and money, and if your want to damage your car, you need to call this guy.

I went in for a repair because I smelled gas when the car was shut off, but no leaking. I don't do rodeo stunts, hill hopping, or anything else crazy with the car except drive it in Kansas City traffic as they began to infer later. Nathan Parker is the Service Rep I dealt with. Nathan Parker was crude, rude, disrespectful and right down nasty at every turn. They did a code check and it came up with P0456 and a smoke test, and the only area of trouble they could see was the leaking around the O ring. (His faked notes said O ring, collar, and fuel pump, and that's just one bogus part of this whole nightmare.) O ring would need to be ordered and it would run about $340 but he said he could do better than that and eventually quoted $295 with a coupon. So why would you order just the O ring if the collar and fuel pump really needed to be ordered, too, unless he's lying about the details on the invoice? Nothing was said about any other part having a problem. He estimated that the car would be ready around 2pm on Tuesday, and I told him I could wait a little while and be late for work since I would be getting my car back that day and not have to wait any longer. He told me he would give me the loaner, all I would need to do is sign a paper and be on my way and see them Tuesday. He then didn't come back for a whole other hour. I finally went to the service area. He said he had been busy helping other customers more important than me! Really?! On Tuesday, I called him at 2 pm since he had not called me by that time. His first nasty remark was, "Shouldn't you be at work right now?" It was not said nicely and out of genuine concern, it was said like someone berating their child for not going to sleep on time. I was still nice and said I was willing to wait if the car would be ready soon. He said the car was fighting them getting the collar off because it had seized and that they would try soaking it in lubricants. So therefore, go to work and I would see them Wednesday since I

I have had nothing but problems with this dealership and there service department. I am now on my third engine and third transmission. Every time they put in a motor something else goes wrong. But they put another motor in my truck last week and when i got it back the service engine soon light came on. So i figure it is something they done when putting the motor back. I take it in the next day and they say it is the spark plugs and wires causing the problem and charged me 100 bucks for the telling me that. So i brought my Equinox home and was going to change the plugs and wires because they wanted to charge me over 500.00 to do it for me. Well i get it home and start having more problems all the electronics are having problems now and the steering wheel won't turn and the Equinox won't start now. So i guess it wasn't the plugs and wires after all. So i take it back and now they tell me it is the battery then i get a call that they found a bad 80.00 fuse. So they refund my money for telling me the plugs and wires were the problem but now charge me 380.00 for the fuse and new battery. So i bring it home and now the codes are still lighting up. But keep in mind none of this happened until they replace the motor in my Equinox. I would say buy your car somewhere else!!
