European Motorwerks

I brought a Cayman in for oil change: quick, no issues, and they were definitely the best quote.

This is the place to go if you have any issues with your German/​European cars! They’re the best and know what they’re doing.
I dropped off my car this afternoon and told them I needed it back that night and in a matter of an hour they were done. Last year my mini needed so much work and now it runs like new!
Don’t hesitate, call those guys if you have any problems they will take good care of you and your car!

I recently acquired an Audi with a 3.2 direct injection engine. It’s a great car but it has some unusual maintenance requirements for the intake valves. It’s really only the sort of thing a shop with specialized equipment, training and knowledge can handle. After researching European Motorwerks via ratings I drove in, met with them and scheduled the work.
Right away I could tell this was the shop to perform the service. They were immediately familiar with the issues particular to this car and had the correct service equipment to maintain the engine.
It’s time consuming work requiring the car in the shop for 2 days. European Motorwerks arranged a complimentary service loaner for me to drive while they completed the work. When the work was complete European Motorwerks sent me photographs showing the before/​after in detail. Clearly the work was done correctly and expertly. The mechanics took the time to review the car and identify maintenance items and provide estimates for planning and scheduling.
When I arrived to collect the car I was informed that there were some minor issues that were handled. A broken bolt was removed and replaced, a burnt out turn signal was replaced and broken bulb mount was glued. It’s typical with estimated work for the actual costs to be +/​-​15%. European Motorwerks provided these extras gratis. Their final bill came in right on their estimated cost.
It was a great first experience with a great team.

I bought a Beetle from another car place back in March. I’ve had an inkling that the other company has been lying to me about the repairs to this car, and this place confirmed my fears. I’ve had the same two complaints about the car not shifting in Drive properly and the rattling the engine makes when its in reverse. I’ve taken it to two other places and the simply shut the check engine light off and sent me on my way. I was at my wits end when I ended up here.
They had an estimate within a couple hours. It was much more than I had hoped. I leave for the Navy January 18^th and was hoping it would last until then. After talking to a friend (who refuses to work on the Beetle because he hates them) that is a certified mechanic, he confirmed that it was a reasonable price for what it needs. When I explained what was going on and my issues with the car, he confirmed that what Bono told me was true.
I was more than happy to pay the diagnostics fee to find out what was going on. I planned on just picking it up and selling it, getting out from under it. They didn’t charge me for diagnostics and they were brutally honest and that’s what I needed at this point.
Thank you guys very much!

After making an appointment with the dealer for my older BMW, I decided to give these guys a try… and I’m glad I did. Eric and his team really know what their doing; they were very up-​front and honest with the work they did, the servicing my car needed, and the pricing. I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of, and I felt that they valued my input as much as they valued doing a great job.

The best service I have ever had at an auto-​repair shop!
–Professional, down-​to-​earth atmosphere!
–Great work!
–Speedy service!
–Honest mechanics!
–Generous prices! The lowest in town!
I drive a 2010 Volkswagen Beetle. I called European Motorwerks out-​of-​the-​blue to see if they would be able to replace my left brake light. (Seems like an easy fix, but I’ve had serious trouble with three other shops on this issue in the past.) European Motorwerks quoted me a $ 30 fix, and scheduled an appointment for me at 5:00 pm on Tuesday.
I work in downtown Austin, and I was running very late for my appointment. I called them to say that I would be running late, and they assured me that they would still squeeze me in if I got there before 5:30 (The shop closes at 6:00 pm). I was already very thrilled that they were willing to work with me, even though I was the one clearly at fault for not being on time.
I arrived at the shop at 5:20 pm, and they had my car fixed by 5:35 pm. One of the mechanics came inside to tell me the light bulb was replaced, and they fixed another issue with my fuel tank (a minor issue I’ve been needing to get fixed for a while) while they were working on my car. I was so happy! After that, they assured me that they weren’t going to charge me, but just to bring my car back if I have any other issues in the future.
Incredible.
This shop knows european cars – and they know how to run a great business!

I recently brought my Audi A3 Quattro to be serviced here. I called around to several European auto shops for a quote on a major oil leak that was coming from the flywheel seal. I knew this was going to be a intense job and needed to be done by a professional. Eric was awesome, he called me back the same day with a very reasonable price, I was sold. He offered me a FREE loaner car while my car was in the shop. I dropped it off around 9 am and my car was ready by the end of the day. He had addressed all of my concerns and my car was finally fixed! Eric and his team are true professionals, and they run a very honest shop. I will return for all of my major service work in the future.

Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Easy to work with and was accommodating with scheduling. Waiting room is comfortable. Pricing is fair. Am new to town and feel lucky to find this place. Will be back.

I had a mishap with my 2006 VW Beetle, bottomed out on a huge pot hole on these fine Austin streets! I called Eric and they promptly came and towed my car to the shop. Within hours I got a call explaining what needed to be done and Eric recommended going with an insurance claim since it was getting pretty pricy. They kept in contact with me with updates during the process. I picked up my car yesterday afternoon and I am very pleased. I think I will keep it for another 100,000 miles and I found a new shop to help me do that.

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable and reasonably priced, that’s European Motorwerks. They recently replaced my battery and it was about 20% cheaper than what the dealership quoted me. When it comes to European car maintenance, I think everyone can appreciate 20% is a good chuck of change! I think the best part though, was the excellent customer service. It was about 3 weeks between my initial call and when I finally called back to see if they could get my car in for service. Despite never having done business with European Motorwerks before, they remembered me and got me in immediately and performed the service very quickly. It was a job well done.

This place is the best!
They provide honest and reliable service every-​time.
— They never try to sell us something that we don’t need;
— The service is always done in the time window that they provide;
— The work is always done well, and we never have had something break again
Having this place around makes owning a BMW a lot easier:-)

European Motorworks is awesome, I called and needed an oil change on Mercedes and Eric the owner squeezed me in the same day!!! Now that’s Great service Joel worked on my car and did an awesome job! Thank you guys YOUROCK!!!

I have an Audi S5 with 45k miles on it. I took it to Audi because it was becoming impossible to shift into first and second gear. After they told me that my problem was the clutch and that $ 5200 would solve the problems I began looking elsewhere. After calling several places it was obvious that European Motorwerks was my most affordable choice. $ 4200 by exact.
The process took 3 days, the same amount of days Audi predicted. Eric (their CEO) kept me informed about the progress daily.
As soon as I received the car, it drove totally different. The clutch job was done to perfection.
Now a month later, the car is running just as strong as the day that I picked it up. Now all of my repairs will go through them.

I had a long experience with this company and Eric and his staff are honest, fair and absolutely awesome! Before him it was Bono, Eric takes that shop to a whole new level at providing outstanding customer service and a get-​it-​done attitude.

European Motorwerks is better in every way than the dealership Mercedes-​Benz of Georgetown. The shop rate significantly lower than the dealership. The quality of service and customer service is top notch. They told be I didn’t need the $ 1,2500 of service that I was told I needed by Mercedes-​Benz of Georgetown.
I am now a dedicated customer of European Motorwerks.

I have been trying to find a place to take my VW Jetta for regular maintenance for a while. I have tried some other places in Austin and this has been the best so far! I needed a CV boot for my car and after calling several places, European Motowerks was able to offer me a same day appointment and the best price, saving me an average of about $ 100. Since it’s a newer place, I was able to take advantage of the 10% off and I’m extremely satisfied with the work, knowledge of the staff and overall experience. They had a great lounge with wifi so I could work while I waited, and Eric, the owner, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like it was a fair price for the job, and they seem very honest and reliable. I will absolutely go back for regular maintenace and any other emergency repairs in the future.

Took our 2011 Golf TDI here for the 40,000 mile service, and saved ourselves $ 100 off what the VW Dealership would have charged.
Very friendly shop, did great work and had it back to us the next day. We’ll definitely be back!

My fiancé and I were nervous to take our 2001 VW Jetta wagon to the shop after it started making a really unfortunate clunking noise on every little bump in the road or right-​had turn. We wanted to find a new shop, more convenient to our place, but weren’t sure where to find a trustworthy VW expert. We let it go a few more weeks that we should have, especially when Eric and his team was so conveniently located near our Central Austin home the whole time. They quickly diagnosed the problem and even squeezed the work in on a Friday afternoon. They charged us a totally fair price — which was even less once we used their first-​time customer Unilocal discount.
They’re totally lovely and totally specialists, so if you have a European make of car, definitely give these fine fellas a try.

I discovered these guys after reading a review here on Unilocal.I recently moved to Austin and needed a good place to get regular service on my audi. I went somewhere else first and had them quote me 55k regular service and it was laughably expensive, so I kept shopping. I had the guys at European motorwerks quote me service and it was literally a quarter of the cost.
I have been back twice since my initial service. First was for an issue with my radio, which I thought may need complete replacing, but they were overtime to try to solve thr problem and prevent needing a replacement, again saving me a lot of money. The next time I came to them, because my son had ripped the rearview mirror off and I couldnt reattach it. They told me to come by, dropped everything they were doing and reattached it on the spot, and refused to take payment, even when I offered a small tip.
I will always be sending my car here for service, even if I move out of Hyde Park. Very glad to have found these guys.

Just happens to come across these guys an I would def recommend them! Super competitive prices an knowledgeable about what they are doing. Got my car back an they even washed it for me. I will def be back an will refer them to my friends.
