Brake 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!!!!

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.

Avoid! The manager would not accept my Firestone card number from my daughter, even though she had my name and address. This is the reason we obtained a Firestone card - so my daughter could use it in KC while there in college. Though I mentioned that other Firestones have never had any issue with this, he disagreed. Fortunately, another Firestone in the area was happy to have our business. We'll avoid this particular location from now on!
