Great service and a friendly staff. I am very pleased with the work done on my 18-year-old BMW. It will now easily make the 20-year mark! I highly recommend German Auto Repair.

I've been having my cars repaired at Jim's for a number of years and have always been comfortable with their service and I really feel that Jim is trustworthy. When I thought I had to go to the dealership for a big repair, Jim advised me about what I should do and he saved me a great deal of money. I don't know if he's more expensive than other shops, as one reviewer said, but the confidence I have in this shop, and the fact that they always keep my car running, is very important to me. And they couldn't possibly be more costly than going to a dealership! He's even made minor repairs for me at no charge at all. And his wife, who works in the office is very nice!

I have them regularly service my Mercedes and Audi and am a very satisfied customer. They are very competent, honest, reasonably priced and customer oriented. Just look at the clean shop they run and it speaks for itself.

The shop is very clean and nice. They provide coffee while you wait. The front of the shop is run very professionally. And they guys in the back are very personable and more than happy to discuss what's going on with you. The work I had done on my Audi was very good and done very promptly. Their prices are so reasonable that I actually had to ask them if they had charged me for everything. I couldn't believe the fairly major repair work I had done would be so reasonably priced. I will always go here to have any work done.

I have been going to Jim's German Auto in Corona for several years now and have always had great and professional service. Jim and his staff are professional, experienced and kind. The costs are extremely reasonable and Jim has always been honest with me about my car. For the people who may have had a different experience you have to realize that Jim has always done his best and is not a miracle worker. I had a car I took to him previously that was just on its last leg. Its hard to hear but it is reality. Jim keep doing the wonderful work you are doing. Thanks for running a wonderful business in our community. Love you Pat....

Jim's German auto is absolutely the best auto repair in Corona, We have been taking our cars to Jim's for 25 years and have never received poor service. They will not fix something that doesn't need to be fixed and are honest, fair and reliable. We have sent many, many referrals to Jim's over the years and all clients have be very satisfied.

We will continue to send referrals to Jim's German Auto, they are the best!

Beware of FALSE Yelp write-ups by people who ask others to post or have been paid to post them.

Ive had my BMW, and Porsche, Chevrolet truck serviced at Jim's going on over 10years, and I find them very honest, and reasonable. They take the time to show you what is wrong with your car, and try to explain the problem with your vehicle. Some people just dont understand, and cant comprehend the mechanical understandings that happen to a car that you relay on day after day, and the wear that you put on you vehicle, and before you know it, something happens, Believe me, take it to Jims., it's the best in town. He will tell you the truth, weather you want to hear it or not......its the truth...

I have been going to Jim's for years. They have always treated me fairly and have kept my car running well. They found a difficult to diagnose electrical problem on my BMW and corrected the problem so that it ran better than ever. Jim's checks out the car entirely every time, so that major services are not as costly, definitely less than dealers.

I just picked up a Jeep and I was stunned that Jim took it upon himself to fix a problem with AC unit that I couldn't afford to fix. They decided to solve the problem at "no cost" to me. I am grateful for their consideration and commitment to quality service. Very thankful!!

I have had them work on my BMW for several years and our other cars, as well. I have always been very pleased with their professionalism and service. In fact, they have corrected things that the BMW dealership had represented to me had been done, but the dealership had not actually done. So, I will continue to use this auto shop because it is hard to find a reputable shop.

Lier. Tries to over diagnose and is not honest. I am not sure if he really changes the parts he sells you. I wish I knew there are other honest European car experts before I ended up waiting my money w ith Jim..

We highly recommend Jim's Auto. While the owner is a bit shy and not the best in people skills, he was friendly and highly skilled. We had taken our older BMW to two other mechcanics and they were unable to properly fix our car. One visit to Jim's auto and he had our car running better than it had in years. Even our gas mileage improved tremendously. He gave us an upfront quote that was honest and fair, so there were no surprises. We will definetely return to his shop.

Bad manners/Poor workmanship

He may be in business for long time but his peoples skills are horrible. He would not listen to the details about problems I had with 3 of my cars that he worked on various occasions.He never anticipated the ongoing issues and would only do the repair necessary.He would get upset if questions were asked about the repair options.



After spending thousands of dollars on car repairs over a period of 3 year,I hoped that I have rapport with him. During last visit he got in one of his moods when I asked him some details about the repairs. His answer was to take my business somewhere else while car was still in the shop. Well, I took my business somewhere else where people are customer friendly and repairs are done properly .



I would not recommend anyone going there and spending their hard earned dollars unless they want be insulted. Good luck folks
