5 /5 Duane Caldwell: Ive known Joel for a few years through local Mini Cooper clubs. He has always been a great resource for Mini maintenance and repair info, and everyone I know who has taken their car to Joel has raved about his service, quality, and his exceptionally reasonable pricing. Today, I learned firsthand how much that community trust has been earned and is well-deserved.
I took my 20 Countryman JCW to Joels shop to replace a broken engine mount and to replace the 5-year-old battery. I have a routine maintenance contract with Mini that does not cover repairs or battery replacement. I choked at their price quote, so I turned to GAS. Joel walked me through what he was doing, showed me the damage to the mount, replaced it, and replaced the battery with efficiency, skill, and professionalism. The bill, when done, was a fraction of what the dealer quoted. I highly recommend Joel at German Auto Service for your Mini, BMW, VW, or Audi service.
His shop is small, but well-equipped. He cant do tires or wheel alignments there, but he does most other repair and maintenance work. The shop is in a fantastic location within walking distance to the Lawrence Caltrain station, and nearby shops and cafes, including Starbucks, if you want to pay too much for over-roasted coffee.
Call Joel to make an appointment for service. Your car and your wallet will be happy you did.
