LIARS and DISHONEST 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I brought my car here twice because of the strong reviews it got on City Search. But don't believe it for a second, I think the owner actually checks this website. They are so dishonest.

I brought my car here once to get a headlight replaced. They charged me $95!!!! I asked them why it cost so much for them to literally just take their hand and screw in the bulb - he responded it was a difficult place to reach. I don't believe it was so difficult to be worth $95. Conveniently, a week later, the other headlight on my car needed to be replaced so I brought it to another mechanic, Ori's Repair - who charged me $20 for the labor (and I bought the actual bulb part from AutoZone across the street which was about $15)!!!! That is about $60 less than German Italian Motor Car. Don't go here, they are mean and rude.

Oh also when I was waiting for them to replace my headlight, the owner took his sweet time - he made me wait until he finished eating his entire lunch.

Honest and trust worthy german car body shop 5 Star Rating - World class

You know the reviews in city search really matters! My first time experience at German Italian Motor car was just incredible! Gabriel fixed my bumper 2 days earlier than what he quoted originally, and my car looks like a brand new car:) very happy with the outcome, and great personal service! They are moving to Robertson next month, but I am pretty confident that I will bring my car to Gabriel next time I have problems with my car! Thanks much Gabriel!

Honest and efficient service 5 Star Rating - World class

I found out about German Italian Motors while searching reviews for BMW repairs. I was fed up with the high cost of bringing my car into the dealer. Several years ago the sunroof of my BMW 528 stoped working. The dealer said it would cost approximately $2500 to fix. I decided not to fix it. When I found Gabriel and he did such a wonderful job on the scheduled service I asked him about the sunroof. Much to my surprise he was able to fix the roof, do all of the scheduled servicing and replace numerous hoses and the entire cost was under $1500!
I would never think of going to the dealer again

Best Place To Take Your German or Italian Car! 5 Star Rating - World class

The (Car) Doctor is in! I found out about Gabriel and his shop by reading these very reviews on citysearch and I've never been happier with my car service. I took my car in a few years ago after having spent thousands of dollars unnecessarily at my local BMW dealership. I have always found Gabriel to be honest, trustworthy and consistent with his incredible service and reasonable prices! He is like a good doctor in that he takes his time to examine his patient (your car) and will provide you with a sound diagnosis as well as his cure. I will never go to another dealership as long as Gabriel is around. I am a loyal customer and cannot recommend him enough! A+++

Pros: Location, great customer service, fair prices, honesty, expertise
Cons: none

Expert diagnosis, fast and excellent service 5 Star Rating - World class

My husband has his Porsche serviced here and has always been satisfied. Recently within a week of each other both mine and my husband's cars had our "check engine" light activated. Gabriel and Enzo took car of my husband's car. When he heard I had a similar issue he squeezed me in and fixed it that same day. I had previously went to the local independent and they diagnosed the problem but told me I have to go to the dealer to have it fixed and incur a second charge for diagnosis. Cost at G.I. was cheaper, service better, and took less time. Gabriel is my hero.

Pros: Expert evaluation, timely service, excellent work
