    These guys are awesome! I called in because my car wouldn't start. They sent someone over to my house and he gave me a jump and escorted me to the shop; it turned out I needed a new battery. I was in and out of there in 20 minutes! Awesome customer service! Thanks German Car Depot!

    I've owned VW's for the past 21 years of my life and you guys are the best VW mechanics I've ever met! The place is clean! The service is great! Everyone is friendly! And the dogs are awesome! My next car has to be a VW not only because I love the brand but because I need to be sure that I can still come to your shop! Thanks!

    If you own a German car, there is no better repair shop in S. Florida than German Car Depot. The shop is immaculate, the entire crew is professional and courteous and the value and quality of work are second to none. Our '96 Cabrio is running like a new car again. Thank you again for the prompt and excellent service.

    This guys are amazing. The best costumer service I’ve had, they helped, explained and suggested what my car needed and they got my car ready to go in no time. from the first time I talked to them to make an appointment through the whole car service everyone who works there were friendly and very helpful. I don’t write reviews but this place deserves it!

    Let’s face it, as a female it’s always difficult finding an honest and reliable mechanic. I’m not an expert in auto language nor do I care to DIY my own car repairs. However, I do want honesty and straightforward pricing when it comes Toby car problems. After being fleeced at the Dealer and another auto repair shop, I stumbled upon German Car Depot via Yelp. I was drawn by all the glowing reviews and prayed to the car gods that I would find “the one.” I was not disappointed!! The individuals at German Car Depot are respectful, honest, transparent and super friendly. As a female, it’s a breath of fresh air to have a reliable mechanic that can diagnose and fix my problem, while not having to sell my internal organs to pay for the service. I will definitely use them for all my car needs and highly recommend them!!

    These guys were truly excellent - very knowledgeable and courteous and took time to explain repairs. The tech working on my car even spent time explaining things and even did a small adjustment on something I didn’t ask for. Only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is that the labor rate per hour is high. This cost encompassed over 75% of my invoice total. Work was done with no issues and as expected but for those of us paycheck to paycheck it can be belt tightening. But like I said - overall a very positive experience.

    Honest & Fair – all I have to say. Great and clear assessment and they didn’t try to sell me anything. This is what I call Customer Service. The surely gained a new customer today ! Trustworthy.

    My BMW needed service. Took it to the dealer and decided to call the service dept. at German Car Depot. They could not have been any nicer. (I called several times as I was trying to compare estimates and had questions about work that was needed). Spoke to JR and he patiently addressed all of my questions and explained everything in detail. Happy to have a great local business near me!

    My Volkswagen Jetta has not gotten 47 miles per gallon since the first year i got this TDI. Every person from the service writer, the young lady who orders the parts and the technician who did the work on my car all seemed very well trained and seemed to like working for Ollie The owner. PS: The bathroom was so clean and nice I was blown away . I would recommend you try German Car Depot.

    My Audi A6 is running great! I avoided a $3k transmission Prestige Audi said I needed. All the crew seem to enjoy working for German Car Depot. A white standard poodle at an auto dealership is crazy, but she was so clean and well behaved. Thanks you Ollie, you rock.

    Very happy with the overall service at German Car Depot. I have received valuable advise for, care and maintenance required for my Volkswagen TDI. I highly recommend German Car Depot. Lulu the white standard poodle shows how clean this shop is. I will be back even if my car does not need any work just to visit with Lulu.
