Stuttgart Autotech

Todd and his Stuttgart Autotech staff were very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and honest. I just brought in my newly purchased used 2011 BMW 281i for routine maintenance, including a 60k tune up which requires a spark plug change which would have run me about $ 300. They realized the plugs were recently replaced and did not charge me to change them even though they could have and I would have been none the wiser. This to me is a sign of integrity and finding an honest mechanic is like finding a good Doctor. I will be sticking with Stuttgart Autotech for my future BMW needs.

Stuttgart is good people doing good work at fair prices. I highly recommend them.

The only place I take both my wife’s and my cars to. We both have BMWs and Todd and his team take care of us. I don’t think they are the cheapest place around, but their prices seem fair and if there is any sort of issue, they take care of it, no questions asked.

The people at this shop don’t know anything about German cars. I brought in my MK5 VW GTI with a check engine light on. They told me the problem were the spark plugs for which I paid over $ 200 to get replaced, then the light came back on with the same code, then they told me it was carbon built up in the intake valves, they charged me $ 330 more. Then the light came back on (yes, again!) and they said they would have to replace the fuel injector and wanted to charge me $ 500 more. At this point I was pissed, I asked them if they were sure it was the injector and they said «no» they literally were guessing the problem. How pathetic! Plus they broke my FSI engine cover (which they replaced) c’mon I paid them over $ 500 bucks for nothing, and of course they wouldn’t refund cos they did work on it. I took my car to the VW dealership and the problem wasn’t even the injector, it was a rocker that was broken, they replaced it and boom! No more check engine light. Piece of cake for certified VW mechanics. If you want your German car to be checked by clowns then this is your shop.

Just left Lake O after three years back to the east coast and am now looking for an independent repair shop to look after my 2000 328 with even half of the professionalism and integrity of Stuttgart. I’ll echo the other reviews, and single out Todd for his thoroughness and transparency. First started going because their diagnosis for a particular problem was related, but less complicated (read expensive) than a dealer repair shop, and kept coming back. I really miss having them on my team!

I’ve had my 2002 BMW 330ci repaired at Stuttgart for years. They’ve always been very helpful & honest.
As to the honesty part… I’ve done a ton of maintenance on my car — the type of work 98% of people would never attempt… replacing bushings & bearings — water pump — fuel pump… you get the idea. My point is — I usually have a very good idea what’s wrong with my car when I bring it to Stuttgart. I’ve never felt I was being lied to… ever. Also, for several years (until they got to know me) they knew nothing about my skill & experience related to working on my BMW.
My most frequent Stuttgart visit is to pay Roy (BMW tech) for his professional diagnosis before I go fixing something that didn’t need fixing.
Todd & David always go out of their way to help. David actually spent 3 – 5 minutes with me on the phone helping me diagnose a failing fuel pump. I wouldn’t expect a shop to do that, but, it was an unusual circumstance. Because of the help David provided during that call I was able to repair my car (which had completely died at work due to that failed fuel pump).
I saw another review mention that Stuttgart is sometimes more expensive than a BMW dealership… true. They are very good at what they do — and they charge a rate that takes care of their employees and reduces turnover. I’ve seen the same employees at Stuttgart for years.
This is a shop that’s always performed quality work and given me peace of mind.
Hope this review helps.
Cheers.

I had my PPI for my 911 done here by Mike Jordan (no, not the ball player) and he was thorough, courteous, and very candid about my pending purchase.
Even stayed late to finish it for me.
Good people and have an excellent reputation in OR. That’s how I found ‘em from WA state. This is where you want to go if you have a Euro car esp. a 911.
