George was true professional. It’s was very clear of his knowledge in European automobiles.He did everything I asked him in evaluating my car.He did some service that was overdue on my BMW. He was neat and Precise. And most of all honest. Now I see why everybody raves about this establishment. Don’t even think about going elsewhere. Stop by it will be the best thing you ever did. Thanks.,Andrew. G
Might be my first review ever but hands down just come.06 Audi needed a lot of things done. Control arms, gaskets, calipers the list goes on.George diagnosed it thoroughly, efficiently & honestly. Worked with a budget that worked for me but also wouldn’t be half patched and actually taken care of. Estimate and date didn’t change at all.During the repair, he noted another issue that I’m holding off on for now. This is my first car and idk much about them, but without knowing that George still showed me exactly what the issue was and how best not to do additional damage. Drove the car off the shop and felt a brand new driving experience.10000% will be back to finish the job, but yeah whether you’re in the area or an hour out, trust me it’s worth the visit. (And shout-out Anna for coordinating everything and even answering texts. 2021 cmon now 🔥)
I always feel like part of the family here. Deep automotive skill sets despite the companies name. Daily’s to “Trailer Queens” Classics, Highly modified, pretty much whatever you can throw at this team on four wheels will go out better than it came in. Trusting a mechanic is tough to come by, especially with more complex vehicles. This is my guy. Don’t come here, this way I can get my car done faster.
George the lead mechanic i spoke with was very cool. I took my car there for air bag suspension related issues and he found multiple issues with the suspension and other unrelated problems.He was nice enough to fix one of the issues there on the spot as it was a safety problem.They work on lots of high end and mid range euro cars. If you have a euro car this is the place to go. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. A must visit for a euro enthusiast in ny.
Very impressed with the level of care and professionalism. They were very receptive to other issues and took their time and effort to get the job done in the end. They’re honest, genuine, professional, and work with you every step of the way.
Very good mechanics. Its a nice atmosphere I would definitely go back again & refer him to others
George will make you feel like family straight from the start. Very honest will tell you exactly what is wrong and what is right. They also powder coated w/ window tint on my E92 335is and absolutely amazing, job skill show. Always respond as long as your patient! They are known to be very busy, b/c who doesnt want to come here?
I visited this location to diagnose a turbo issue on my 16 GTI, and was fully prepared to give them my money to fix the problem; after diagnosing the issue, the tech indicated that I might have a very good chance of getting the turbo replaced under the PZEV emissions portion of my warranty, and didnt take a dime for his expertise. My assumption was the powertrain warranty expired last year, but after taking it to the dealer, they are indeed replacing it under warranty! Never in my life have I run into a auto service shop that turned away my money and did the right thing, but this business has earned my trust and I will undoubtedly come back here for future work!
Well i figured since they had the best reviews and were known for their great work id be good but i was majorly disappointed. 1 i was promised a date and when i got there it wasnt set. Then the car took 4 days longer then the day and was left outside in the dusty road where someone stole 3 of my rim caps. When i called about it bc i didnt see it initially till i got home I called them and basically had no help. Was told they would take care of me but at that point i was just disappointed because after all the money spent and the want for mor business i was ignored. All in all the shop is great looks clean and they do the great work you need. As far as reliable just be ready for a wait . My car being dusty and missing caps was a no for me.
Best Performance car shop for VW and German cars, best experience ever.Words cannot describe how they treat me and my car. Highly recommended. 5+ stars
George & team are incredible! They are knowledge and honest.
I took my 2017 GTI to European Auto for a DSG Service and an annoying clunking noise that was coming from the front end. The DSG service was done really quickly but where they really impressed me was with their honesty in repairing the clunking noise. George identified one safety issue and one potential reason for my clunk. After fixing the safety issue, he was very honest with me about not needing to change out the part we originally thought was causing the issue and did not try to have me pay for it anyway. Long story short, they do very good work and in my experience are very honest. Would recommend.
Amazing shop, George is really nice & cool and helps out a lot. Everyone in the shop treats you like family, respect to everyone at the shop. Theyll take care of you, all german cars this is the go to shop no doubt best shop in NY.
European Auto is an amazing place to get your car worked on. Super fast service depending what your car needs. My friend has his BMW worked on here all the time and I went to get my car serviced. George and the team knows what they are doing. George will actually remember you. You want honest and professional work then come here. Plus if you love cars then you’ll get a nice car show outside. Keep up the great work everyone at European Auto!
I was recommended to use this shop to diagnose my vehicle and I was suggested to do a carbon clean up and this made it worse. Now the intermittent issue is permanent! Owner claims that there is nothing wrong with my Audi. They don’t even call back. I guess not having a CEL limits the knowledge and experience of a master mechanic. Can’t read fuel trims? Apparently not.
European Auto is easily one of the best auto repair shops in the area. I recently went to the shop for a seized brake caliper on my mk6 gti, and the shop happened to have a used caliper for my car in stock from a previous customer - the associate informed me that they could use the parts in stock for a cheaper price than if they were to order it. The amount of value, and good faith this puts in customers is immeasurable and I will definitely be returning in the future for future repairs / upgrades. Top tier shop for VW / Audi / BMW
At European Auto they will always treat you like family. They work quick and keep you posted on everything that is going on through out the process. I brought my Audi there recently to get repaired. Another issue came about right after i got the car back and they took it right away to go over and figure out the new issue and get it fixed. They will always treat you like family over there and anyone and everyone in the Euro world should go there for all their needs
I had a full timing chain service (including water pump), a walnut blast valve cleaning and a DSG service on my 2010 VW GTI. George was great to work with and kept me informed every step of the way. George and his team take a lot of pride in their work. You may need to wait a bit for an appointment, but its worth it.
I have had multiple cars serviced by European auto. They are a reliable and trustworthy shop who does the job right the first time. They use quality oem or aftermarket parts and price their services very fairly. 10/10 would recommend going to them for your car servicing needs. The owner(Geo) is also always happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Ive been here several times and I absolutely love the place. George always makes me laugh and feel comfortable, while making sure to explain everything hes doing. I came here for an oil change and to have him check out my RGB color-shift headlights. He took so much time to check out the issue with my lights and even offered to fix it for me at a later date. His hospitality, friendliness, honesty, and sincerity is the best Ive experienced at any auto-tech shop. Highly recommend and appreciate this shop.
Love these guys! Honest, and great quality of work! Always go there for anything I can’t do myself!
I don’t even know where to start. I’ve never had an experience like European Auto. I’ve had the same issue for 6 months (EVAP LEAK) taking it to a handful of mechanics and no one could seem to fix it. I didn’t spend not 2 hours at European Auto and they were able to identify and fix the problem. I think it’s safe to safe I’ll be using them from now on no matter how big or small the job. I can’t say enough good things about them.
Glad I met these guys! There’s nothing better than peace of mind and that exactly how I feel whenever we have to either drop off the shops car or even a customers car to get service done. These guys are true professionals at what they do. Keep up the great work!!
Brought my e36 m3 here, did an entire engine swap, new cooling system, brakes, everything. Super professional shop, the owner is honest and extremely knowledgeable. Had my car back quickly for all the work it needed. I highly recommend this shop!! Good people. My car is happy again.シ
The suspension on my 2008 A4 Cabriolet was having major issues so I brought it to Audi to have it looked it. Long story short the whole suspension needed to be replaced. They quoted me a very high amount to do the job. I found European Auto Of Island Park and spoke to George on the phone. He toldMe he would be able to beat that quote exponentially. He wasn’t kidding. He ended up doing the suspension, the front and rear shocks as well as valve gasket covers on the engine for a huge fraction of the price. In times like these, savings of any kind are huge and George saved me thousands. His work is impeccable and the car is performing like new at almost a 100k miles. It feels like an Audi again. I would recommend him and his crew to anyone looking to beat the dealers prices. Your car will get the same genuine service that is promised at the dealership and then some at a fraction of the price. It’s a no brainer.
This Shop is definitely the place to go to. First, they are very welcoming and they know their business. I came for some Exhaust Tips for my Audi. They showed me a BEAUTIFUL pair; I loved at first sight and the quality of work is AWESOME. They look great on my car. Thank you GEORGE!!
The most professional shop Ive been to yet. I came with lots of questions about my vehicle (335xi)VERY attentive owner. They make sure you leave with outstanding results they treat And care about your car as if it were there own. Highly recommended
They will treat you like family. The best auto shop to Install all your car goodie and maintenance work.
I brought my car to European auto and met with the owner. He took good care of my car and changed my clutch. My car feels much better now. Well recommended. This is the place to go
Very professional, honest, and awesome shop to go to for any needs you have. First job I got was all my vacuum lines replaced for an fraction of the price that audi was charging, and then got a timing job done. During that timing job they found a broken part which caused my misfires, which wasn’t standard to check for but they did anyways. Don’t hesitate to go!
The guys at this shop are incredible! Their work environment is clean, the employees are extremely knowledgeable, they treat my car like it’s their own, and the owner Geo is one of the nice shop owners I’ve ever met. I was recommended to this shop by a close friend many years ago and I don’t hesitate to bring my cars here at all. From a quick fix, to troubleshooting an issue on my truck to building my weekend car, they take care of it all! European car or not, they will take care of you! I highly recommend anyone and everyone to consider European Auto as their first shop choice.
Great work from European auto. The prices are extremely fair and the work is done right the first time. Unfortunately I had a defective rear main seal and Geo got it taken care of ASAP. I drive an hour and half to have work done by them and it’s worth it every time.
I highly recommend this shop. George and the team are extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. I cant ask for more when Im looking for a job to be done right. Shops like this are hard to come by and I appreciate everything theyre doing here.
Great service! Prompt response and great atmosphere! I would highly recommend bringing any car, as the techs are very knowledgeable!
European auto has been my all time favorite place to bring my car. Wether it’s for opinions, help, and to diagnose. I’ll never forget the first time I’ve came their they for sure treat vehicles as if it’s their own. They treat you like family. Extremely loyal, friendly, and honest. George will have me as a forever customer!!! GREAT QUALITY WORK ALL AROUND!
Best place to get your car fix. Knowledgeable, reliable,affordable, friendly, good atmosphere and dependable.
Awesome people great environment very respectful always on time and very knowledgeable. I have a 2011 e92 M3 ZCP competition, everyone knows to pass inspection is almost impossible but Geo made it happen!!! Definitely recommend these guys!!!
I been going to European Auto for over a year, and not a single complaint for these guys, really professional and dedicated. Keep up the good work!!
The team is honest and go above and beyond when it comes to service. Will be my main shop for anything car related. Ill be back soon for infotainment swap and roof rewrap. Cant recommend them enough.
I came here to European Auto for the first time after talking to a couple of other shops. I can only say good things about these guys. Talking to the owner personally he doesn’t treat you like it’s business and business only. I came in and the minute I saw the shop I was attended to, greeted, and taken care of within minutes. I explained what was happening with my car and all the owner said was “don’t worry we’ll get it fixed” I was worried But he eased me of everything. I left my car there for 3 days and got updated every step of the way throughout everything, the guys there even found a few other things that needed some fixing and I knew I could trust them so I had them do it. I got my car back and all I can say is that it runs like if it were new again. Thank you guys for helping me out, giving great service, and most of all keeping me updated with everything that was being done to the car.
I would trust this shop with my car any day of the week! Super helpful shop that is there to make sure you have the best experience and leave happy. Not only did they do the scheduled repairs, but they also looked over the whole car without me asking and alerted me to anything that looked off or broken to keep me safe. Skilled workers that are true car guys at heart and aren’t there to nickel and dime you with everything, which is rare these days! Would go back and trust this shop for any job big or small!
Excellent work and fair pricing. Great team of knowledgeable mechanics and techs. Brought my Raptor in for mixture of performance modifications, powder coating, maintenance, and suspension work. Highly recommend this shop for all your maintenance and modification needs!
Genuinely never seen a shop like Georges. George and his team will always go the extra mile to make sure yourre satisfied and treats your car like his own. One place Im comfortable leaving my car at. Been coming here for over a year now. Extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable - highly recommend.
Very knowledgable & skilled individuals here at European Auto Of Island Park. Recently completed a transmission drain and Fill on a 2010 mercedes. Requested George (owner) to check out additional things are on the car, and he was happy to do so. If you are a BMW, MERCEDES, or LEXUS enthusiast...I highly recommend this place to you. Pricing was fair, nothing exorbitant as the other shops were trying to charge. I will be returning in the future if additional repairs are needed (hopefully not).
Great service. These guys know thier stuff.
Let me start off by saying George is one of the hands down most honest mechanic there is in NY. I met him a while back when I owned a bmw 135i and I reached out with a few questions regarding my car. Fast forward a few months and I sold that car and bought an N54 335i. It came in automatic and I got bored and decided I wanted to manual swap my car. From start to finish George was transparent about every little thing about my car. I was never overcharged or nor was my time ever wasted. I don’t take the time to leave reviews for places. My car has been messed up by countless shops before I came across European Auto but I never bothered leaving a review. I sent countless friends and family to George because I know that he values two things above all: Customer Service and honesty. European Auto is not only my go-to shop but also my family. I trust everyone in there to touch my car. Everytime i’m there is a good time no matter how frustrating my car can be. George and his team are insane at their craft. Take my word for it, reach out to me and I even have proof, other shops WILL RUIN YOUR CAR. My car has been to countless “reputable shops” before European Auto and have come back with issues that I still have documented to this day to prove people when they don’t believe me. European Auto or bust!!
I highly recommend George and his entire team at European Auto. I’ve been to so many mechanic shops in Queens and I’ve always been given the run around. Majority of the time, I felt I was brushed off because I’m a female in a man’s world of cars. But, at European Auto, I’m treated with professionalism, courtesy, reliability and honest work. George takes his time to explain to me what issues need to be addressed and answers any questions I have. He goes above and beyond to accommodate me and offers a very quick turn around. Even though I’m about a 40 min drive to their location, I will always make the trip because I know I’ll be a good hands. I’m a very happy customer!
I use European Auto for all my vehicles. They are some of the most professional, thorough mechanics I have ever used and the pricing is very fair. They treat every car that comes in like it’s there very own. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, honorable, honest mechanic in the area.
Being new to the German platform this is the only shop I hit up that I feel didn’t try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge. The guys there are reallyDown to earth and honest and you can’t ask for anything better. I actually got my car back when they said I would and I haven’t ran into any problems. 100% recommend this shop!
European auto is one of the best performance shops I’ve ever been to! Everyone there is so nice and polite and they don’t hesitate to help you out with whatever you need. Best of all the shop is clean and just a good overall environment to be in! 100% recommend this shop for anyone who needs stuff done to their car!
George/Jorge (never asked how his name was spelled) and his guys are amazing. They take their time to diagnose the issue unlike other mechanics who just wants your money. I brought my car to three other mechanics because of a squeaking sound coming back the rear. Two told me they dont know where its coming from, the other told me they fixed it but the sound was still there. None of them can fix the problem. George/Jorge (again, dont know how to properly spell his name) and his team took their time to pinpoint where the sound is coming from and within an hour, they located the issue. He quickly ordered the parts and told me to come back as soon as the parts arrive.The following week, the parts came, his assistant called to schedule an appointment, went in, installed the parts, and thats that. Wish I knew about him sooner. Wouldve save me a lot of money. Ill definitely come back for more of your amazing service, Great job guys and thank you!
This place really takes good care of your car also they are very reasonable prices would take my car there anytime
Best service, honest and extremely trustworthy. I just moved to LI from the city and brought my Jaguar to be checked out. They ran the diagnostic, printed it out for me and went thru everything over a 20 min convo about what could, should and needs to be done. Best experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic. Literally saved me $10k by not going with the dealership quote!! Thank you!!
These guys are above amazing, never have I been so satisfied with a mechanic shop. They work on your car as if it is one of there own. 100% recommend
I brought my Mercedes-Benz to European auto of Oceanside for a couple of repairs to be done. The quality of work that was done was exceptional. From now on this is my go-to shop for my car. Overall it is an excellent shop and I am very happy with there work !
George and the European Auto team are a professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated group with great customer service and a real passion for cars. They have done various installations and maintenance on my GTI including: brakes, intercooler installation, exhaust installation, transmission service, and more. Just being at the shop and talking to everyone there is an amazing experience as they treat everyone like family and don’t hesitate to give advice.An example of the top quality service at EA is when I brought my car in for an Intercooler installation, I supplied the parts which I thought would bolt up to my car. George gave me a call after the front end was disassembled, saying the part was not actually compatible. He went above and beyond to find an intercooler that fit, which wound up being his old golf r intercooler (a good OEM upgrade for a GTI). He could’ve just charged me for the labor and went on his way- it was 100% my mistake. Instead, I’m riding around with a piece of his beautiful Golf R in my car lol.Forever thankful to European Auto
They take care of your car like there own car❗️Highly recommend going there for any euro cars. George is the guy
These guys are absolutely amazing, realistic and down to earth. I took my car that had been mishandled by another shop. They took it and made all the corrections even down to replacing little nuts and bolts left behind Thanks
European auto does Fantastic work and treats u like family. Very respectful and doesn’t cheap out on work. Never going to another shop ever again, I love European auto
Eropean Auto Is The best Place For All Your Car Needs !! Theres Nothing They Can’t Do ! They Trust Worthy And Treat You Like Family. It’s super Hard To Find reliable shops that actually care about the car more then you lol !! There the best hands down ! I’ll never take my car anywhere else..
Geo went out of his way to let me know what I needed for my car. I live about an hour or so away and ill be going to him for any performance upgrades that I have. He is a very helpful and honest person.
Only shop I trust with my cars.Amazing quality everytime!!
I have been coming here for the past few years excellent service and the prices are very responsible. I highly recommend to anyone with a European car to come here!
Was my first time with European Auto and couldnt be happier with my decision. Super clean and organized garage. Had my wheels powder coated gloss black on new Mazda CX-5. They came out great. I fired a bunch of questions at George about it, because Id never had that done before...he was super informative, patient, answered every single question I had - even took me in the garage to show me a few different cars that were powder coated certain colors for ideas. Car was finished on time as well. Prices fair. Strongly recommend.
Great service and honest technicians
Great shop! George and Andy are honest trustworthy good guys! I’ve been using them for about 5yrs with no complaints, they do great work and that’s what keeps me coming back. I highly recommend them others! Erick..
First things first, the shop and the office are clean, organized and kept up and I promise you that’s a tell tale sign of a good mechanic and a great first impression. Also, there aren’t many businesses that put a personal touch on a customers experience, and that’s what George does here at his shop. Immediately upon meeting George he welcomed me into the office to sit and chat about my car and needs, which just needed a brake job and I wanted his opinion on whether or not to replace or cut the rotors. After a gentleman’s discussion we both agreed it’s best to change the rotors however there was never a moment I felt that I was being pushed into buying anything because of the thorough explanation of why the rotors should be replaced. Quite honestly I enjoyed the conversation because I enjoy talking cars and mechanical equipment, and it’s nice to talk to a guy who knows what he’s talking about and off the bat I knew he actually cares about his work. Anyway, I gave him the keys, we had a few laughs, and within a couple of hours the car was ready with new brake pads and rotors. George is a solid guy, a guy with “old school” morals, and you can tell he obsesses over getting the job done right the first time. I’m very happy to have done business here as a first time customer, and I will 100% be coming back for any further needs for my Audi and I recommend this shop to everyone and anyone looking for an honest, fair priced, stand up guy to work on their cars.
They do really good work and clean. One of the best shops I know.
Hi George, realize that you are supper busy...will find someone else. Wish you all the best George 💕
Before bringing my mk6 gti to european auto I had high confidence that the shop had the experience to perform the job correctly. On their Instagram page, they show that they have experience performing all types of different jobs/installations on my car and various other makes/models (go check it out).I received a very reasonable quote for the job I needed done. Parts were slightly cheaper than I could have sourced & the labor charge was below what I was expecting.After setting up an appt. And dropping my car off I was kept updated throughout the day on the progress of the work. I was sent a video that showed my car leaking oil from the oil pan. I told George that I was going to work on resealing the oil pan myself, and he offered helpful advice for completing the job from start to finish.I dont like letting other people work on my car but I will definitely bring my car back to European Auto in the future for projects that are beyond my skill set or that I am too lazy to do.
I think this is by far the most cleanest shop Ive ever been in. I love the office space they have. Its very comfortable. The thing I loved most about this shop was the honesty. The people there were very professional yet down to earth and thats something you dont get at most shops. I love the fact that they tell you your options from the get go and its the truth. They tell you exactly what there doing and how much its going to cost. They also told me about best and worst case scenarious. I know most shops dont like telling the customer everything because it might scare them. But for me I respected the honesty and them being very straight forward. I would highly recommend this place.
Such a great atmosphere and love that everything is explained to you before anything is done to your car.
George extremely honest.... I took my BMW 335 Convertible to him to give it a full check up! Found out the person that sold me the car on craigslist Did not put all the correct tires on the car And thats why the sensors was going off thank you George!!!
European Auto has been servicing my vehicles for years. From rebuilding an engine to a simple oil change. George and his staff are professional and courteuos to their clients. This is a great shop and I highly recommend it!
I 100% trust this place. They do an amazing job! Thanks guys.
Friendliest most insightful group of professionals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Cant say that about other shops in the area.
Best euro shop customer service is great an I love there professionalism
Outstanding workmanship & The best customer service! Highly recommend
Very professional, Angel is an awesome guy and does great work. everything is up to par with perfection. would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get window tints.
The only shop I trust to leave my M3 with, Georges work is on point, state of the art equipment, great prices and he goes the extra mile.
The only Euro shop i trust in NY, very friendly and also pinpoint and fix every issue. Worth the dollar you spend.
Super professional and great staff. Highly recommended
I would highly recommend this place. very professional & honest. Wonderful people!
Super knowledgeable and always leave with great service.
Excellent service, honest mechanic and extremely knowledgeable.
George was very thorough with his diagnosis and took the time to explain what repairs my car needed and why. I would definitely recommend his shop to anyone.
George and his crew are just amazing!! very knowledgeable about European cars, unbeatable price, and fast delivery.After moving to NY i was trying to find a good reputable shop to take my M3 for service and performance upgrades with no luck.After several months a coworker told me about European auto and i decide to go and take a look and meet the owner.A few days after my visit he email me with an estimate and i was amazed because i was expecting to pay way more!!I trust them to do basic Inspection II, valve adjustment, engine mounts, transmission mounts, differential mounts, rear subframe mounts, coilovers, and the most critical the rear subframe reinforcement.They used the best products in the market from Bimmerworld-Turner Motorsports-Rogue Engineering-AKG motorsports
Only place I take my car and my families cars. Would definately recommend them.
The best automotive shop on Long Island.Ive been bringing my cars to George and his team for over 5 years now.They work on everything not just European cars.Only people I would trust with my cars!
George and crew are the best!!!!
A little sketchy. Beware of price gouging.
Great car shop
TOP TOP NOTCH!!!
George is an Ace mechanic
Beautiful and excellent customer service and fast service
