German cars are expensive to buy new and when they break or need maintenance they are expensive to repair. The parts are expensive and the amount of time it takes to make the repairs can be extensive. They also require a wide assortment of expensive tools to make the repair.
When you take your German car to a dealer for service or repair you get OEM quality parts, factory-trained technicians, loaner cars, free food and a free detail. Some dealers even offer a pickup and delivery service.
All these amenities come at a high price that you pay for. Most dealers need to make over a Million Dollars each month just to pay the bills. Just about everyone there gets paid on some sort of commission basis, including technicians who get paid on a flat rate basis and the service writer who gets paid a percentage of the cash work they sell.
Unlike most dealers, we don't need to make over $1 Million each month just to keep the lights on. By keeping our overhead costs low, in most cases we are able to repair your German vehicle for 50% less than any written dealer quote using the same quality parts and level of service.
