European Car Specialist

"We were on our way from LA to Sonoma & Monday morning while in Paso Robles the car started losing coolant . The repair shops were limited by the fact that not many worked on German cars . Went to King’s Auto Care , we were told they would look/ diagnose the problem next Monday & after will order the necessary parts !!!! Did not care . We called The AutoBahn & we were told the same . None of the 2 shops cared that it was an urgent matter . Ended up calling & speaking with Simon at European Car Specialist and being also told no appointments for 1 week . We explained our situation & guess what ? Simon understood that it was not a regular car repair for somebody who lived in the area, it was an urgent situation . We had the car towed & at his shop by 4:30 PM and were told would be ready next day at noon . And it was ready at noon ! The charge was reasonable, definitely we expected more considering it was done so quick . He could have taken advantage of the situation and charge us a lot but he did not . Lots of businesses can be good at fixing cars but when they have to show they care about their customers they do not . Once again , many thanks to Simon for helping us & making our trip enjoyable !"

"Simon is quick, honest and gets right to the issue. He took care of my car exactly when he said he would,"

"My Son was visiting from out of town when the ESC light came on in his Audi A4. Took it to Simon at 4:30 Thursday. He diagnosed the problem and called us at 10:00 Friday with the results. We had him order the part and asked him to do his best to expedite the repair. Called us 3:00 Monday "Done!". Unbelievable service especially considering we were not regular customers. Additionally his price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!"

"Went to Simon for my first service on my first BMW. Even AAA could not help me replace my battery. My previous mechanic couldn't help and when I told him I was going to ECS he told me what a good guy Simon is. Got my new battery and alternator checked, brake fluid flushed and refilled, had my car back the same day. Really great experience."

"We were visiting and on our way out of town, with an 8 hour drive ahead of us, our BMW engine light came on and our car began acting funny. We grabbed a hotel and checked into European Car Specialist first thing in the morning. Simon was very attentive and was able to put us at ease. Thanks Simon!"
