“My first time going to Ackerman’s was very positive. They were recommended by a Volvo owning friend. I found them honest, efficient with time, good communicators and very experienced. I highly recommend them. I brought in my 2006 Subaru Outback due to clicking noise with sharp turns, handling problems and white smoke coming out of tail pipe. Bruce (owner) explained white smoke likely condensation with cooler outside temps (winter). I chose to pay for compression test which proved Bruce right. Worth the peace of mind for engine with 150,000 miles. They determined the clicking noise from cracked axil. Bruce explained he typically saves customers money by using non Subaru parts, but in this case they’ve found off market part’s inferior. They also found that my suspension is shot. For this he recommended cheaper non Subaru parts that he said are consistently reliable. I appreciate their wisdom here. As full suspension repair will cost more than blue book for the car, Bruce prioritized which suspension repairs are most vital to safety and asked how many more miles I plan to keep my car. They obviously are not trying to rip off the customer, but work collaboratively to assess the customer’s best options. Big thank you to Bruce and his team.”

“Frank is frank! He gave me a list of my newly purchased used car ( I wish I asked him for the check before buying it.) all issues he said did happen. I asked him at the time to only work on the most pressing issues. As the bill was too much (and I thought he was exaggerating to be honest) he wasn’t. 6 months later it happened the issues he was referring to. I bought it to another cheaper mechanic who created another issue by using cheap parts and oil.. Frank made my car good again by spotting these issues (that no other mechanic knew what it was) I strongly recommend Frank to take care of your car and do a general check-up before buying a new used car. I knew Frank for around a year and he keeps his words and have good communication (he actually calls you to inform you about what is the issue, give exact cost in short amount of time, very professional)”

“UPDATE: I have been going to V for every issue I've had with my 2004 car. And he's the best. Friendly, honest, experienced, and quick! I can't say enough good things! ... I took my car to this place because the check engine light came on and the car was jolting and failing to shift gears. V dropped what he was doing and immediately ran out to my car and did a diagnostic test for FREE. He encouraged me to hold off on repair unless necessary because it would cost appx $800, and he turned off my check engine light and told me to come back if it happened again. When it did, he once again stopped what he was doing and ran to my car to do the diagnostic test. Though I did not get any work done because of needing to go directly to my car dealer, I highly recommend this place! I have never been so impressed with a mechanic's promptness and honesty. V obviously works hard and truly values his customers. I plan on going to him for every issue I have in the future!”

“What is every woman afraid of when going to a car repair shop? That they will be taken advantage of, right? Let me tell you about my day. To make it brief, Big O looked at my car twice in 2 weeks for a recurring problem and discovered a possible issue covered by the car warranty. The dealership said the issue was the tires and I needed 4 new ones. But....but...if it was the tires, why wouldn't Big O try to sell me tires? After calling Big O again, Ivan wanted to look at the car one more time. I really felt like he cared if the car was safe. When dropping off the car I told him I would be buying 2 new tires today. We figured out the issue together (probably a unique situation they will never see again) and he said my tires were fine. By this time, Big O has looked at my car on 3 occasions, and at no point have they tried to sell me anything. I walked in, ready to buy 2 new tires.They listened to me. They believed me when the dealership didn't. And I walked out having saved $1700 because they deemed the tires within their lifespan. I don't think you can get better customer service than that!”

“Updated review: I just wanted to follow up on my last review and say that I’ve been really happy with the service at German Auto Sport. Since I have been doing business with them, I feel that my car is getting better serviced than when I was previously taking it to other shops. I appreciate you guys, thanks again! I was originally recommended German Auto Sport by a couple of long time friends of mine. I’ve had a great experience with them as they have been very knowledgeable, patient, and kind towards me when discussing the car maintenance. They also send you an inspection report in a website link, with pictures, that you can view on your cellphone or computer which was very useful. I was able to go through all of the recommended repairs with the service tech and we actually talked for a long time discussing the details. I look forward to getting more service at German Auto Sport in the future. Thanks a lot guys!”

“I started taking my cars to Patti’s years ago and it’s the best car repair I’ve ever encountered. Patti loves cars and knows pretty much everything about them. She’s also got a big heart and is an incredible advocate for her customers. I met her when my Honda suddenly dumped all its oil. I pulled off the road into her place and she not only diagnosed and repaired it immediately, she knew this was a recall event and called Honda and the whole thing was completely free to me. Ever since then the service has been equally over-the-top excellent. She hires great mechanics and she knows exactly what to do both in terms of cars and in terms of the business. It’s honestly wonderful taking my car to a woman. I feel 100% safe having Patti’s take care of my car and I’m so grateful to have found her garage!”

“Taken my 02 Subaru wagon here whenever I need work. I’ve had a couple of common problems with the car. First was a rattling due to bad transmission bearing and the second was with the ac high side return hose. For both these issues I took my car to a local shop, and they suggested replacing more components than necessary. Kia and his team are great.”
