Los Angeles Porsche & Audi Repair

I just moved to LA and I was looking for an honest mechanic. Met with Artie when I took my audi A4 in this past Saturday to get an estimate on fixing a few things. Artie called with in an hour to give me the estimate and It turns out that the it will cost more to fix the car than the car is worth. So I went back to pick it up and there was no charge at all for the hour long inspection. The services was fast and professional and we will be bringing our cars back here when ever they need service. Such a relief to find a good honest mechanic here in LA!

You know what's funny? I had such a good experience at Eurotech that I thought, "Hey, I've GOT to go yelp this guy. And I'm going to give him FIVE stars. That'll bring up his rating there." And then I get to yelp and it's ALL five star ratings already. Well for the record, they really are that good. To add another glowing review to the pile, I went there after my dealer said my squeaky brakes might need replacing. This after they installed said brakes less than four months ago. I go to Eurotech to ask them to take a look and hopefully give me a better price on the new pads. Jose and pals squeeze me in first thing in the morning. I go to Tito's Tacos, have an enchilada, and wait for the inevitable "Well this is the cost" call. And then I get the call. The dealer is a moron, the brakes are fine and I can come pick up the car anytime. I pick up the car and they've not only checked the brakes thoroughly, they've cleaned a wiper nozzle and replaced a brake light. And when I whip out the wallet... "It's fine. No charge. See you next time." You're damn right they will. Now THAT is how you build total customer loyalty. Kindness, thoroughness and quality. Five stars. I'd give six if I could.

I've been taking my Audi A4 to Euro-tech for years. In fact, this is my second Audi Jose and the guys there have serviced. I have always been a big supporter and recently sent out an email to my local friends with Audis to tell them about Jose's great service and honorable business practices. Jose has consistently beaten my dealer's service prices by about 40-50% and he's even told me to go to the dealer to fix problems that are covered by the warranty (rather than take advantage of the situation). I am moved to write this review because yesterday they did something I just didn't think mechanics did. The guys had a pretty good idea of what was causing some cabin noise and recommended some repairs. Unfortunately, the repairs did not fix the problem. When I heard that the fix was made, but the noise remained, I prepared for a fight over the bill. But, admirably they stepped up and said that they would shoulder the cost. I was shocked. Jose and Artie are straight shooters - period. They provide top-notch service AND they're guys you can trust. You can't ask for anything more.

I will never be stressed when it comes to any car issues ever again! Forget going to the over-priced and over-crowded Volkswagen dealer in Santa Monica, Euro Tech has my business from now on! Not only did they give me a great quote for my 80,000 mile tune up, which is a huge service, but they also came in under that quote when all was said and done. They called two different times to confirm things with me while servicing, to double check exactly what I wanted. I thought that was huge because at other places they just do it, then charge you for it later when you didn't even want it done. Arti was really helpful to a girl like me who knows nothing about cars, and was even willing to speak with my dad (the one paying for the service) about some details that I just didn't understand. Overall a great experience, and my car was ready in about 3 hours! THANKS AGAIN!

There is nothing worse than having car problems, but then again I'm glad I drive an Audi since Jose at Eurotech can resolve that. I've had all of my oil changes, timing belt, water pump, fuel pump, etc. done there since my warranty expired. He's honest, extremely knowledgeable and his shop charges reasonably for parts and labor. Believe me, I live about 5 miles from an Audi dealership, but I'll make the 50 mile trek to see them instead. They have my business for life as long as I own an Audi or Porsche.

Summary: If you own an Audi and live in the Westside or somewhere nearby, this is where you need to take your car to get serviced/repaired. Period. The first thing you notice about Eurotech is the friendly greetings from the owner Jose and Ardy (I think that was his name). Having car problems is nerve racking, and friendly service goes miles to ease your stress. I think a lot of mechanics over look that aspect of running their business. The garage seems to be tidy and well kept. I noticed they also stock a lot of parts in house which probably speeds up the repair service process. Jose took time to diagnosis the problem, test drive my car, and reset the error codes and check the check engine light on my car without charging me. He knows his Audis and explained exactly what the problem was and how the problem affects my car in great technical detail. Some mechanics give you vague information, not the guys at Eurotech. To be fair, I didn't get any repairs done yet but that's because Jose actually talked me out of getting my car repaired and told me it wasn't worth fixing my problem because it was only bandaging a bigger problem (the whole tranmission! ). When's the last time you had a mechanic talk you out spending money at his shop?!??! So as far as the actual quality of repair, I cannot comment yet. But when my car really does need service and I take it to Eurotech, I will write a follow-up review. But so far, from what I've seen, I'm very impressed with the way Eurotech handles business.

Probably the best reason to buy an Audi. Jose is a mechanical savant and the whole staff is very friendly and helpful. You'll never second guess your mechanic again.

I know this isn't a food or drink related, but credit where credit's due! My mate has an Audi S4 (souped up with the noisest exhaust and the engine chipped, but I forgive him!) He swears by Arty here at Eurotech so after Downtown Audi quoted me $100 to change some lightbulbs I thought I'd at least try to save on labor costs by coming here to an independent. On my first attempt to get some info the guy hung up on me. But, the week before Christmas I call again and Arty answers and says "just come in - no appointment." I don't ask about the price (it's got to be cheaper than $100). Four lightbulbs and 20 mins later I get my Audi TT and a bill for $15. Yes...four lightbulbs @ $3.50 and no labor. The dealer also quoted me $200 for rear brake pads. I go to Global Tires for my tires and they gave me brake pads for $140 and then I added some insurance for a tire that they replaced a while ago for me (in case I get a puncture in my $175 Pirellis). Total $180. The moral of the story is, if your car is out of warranty only use the dealer for the main service (for the logbook stamp) and everything else go to a good independent like Eurotech.

Jose is the kind of rare mechanic who will tell you the truth, even if he's not going to profit from it. Extremely quick service, friendly people. Avoid the stealerships. It will save you time and money.

The BEST independent AUDI/VW shop in the Los Angeles area bar none. As a Master Audi Tech, Jose is very knowledgable with all late model Audi's, both stock and modified. He is a very HONEST and fair priced mechanic, especially for a european car make. Does honor extended warranties. I highly recommend him to all my friends, particularly women owners who tend to get taken advantaged of by most mechanics. Definitely worth the drive to Culver City! He doesn't even charge you to read your DTC if your check engine light comes on.
