If you have an Air-cooled VW, these are your guys. For anything newer beware. Spent over $800 for a no-fix and they gave up, sending me to the dealer. Wanted more $$$ for the dealer referral! LOL

I've been bringing cars to European Auto since ~1998 when the (likely original) clutch blew out on my '88 Jetta. They've also worked on my '87 Scirocco 16V, '91 GTI 8V, '94 Jetta 2.slow, '99 Beetle 2.0, '01 GTI 1.8T, '07 GTI 2.0T, and more. I like them so much that I keep trying to get Kevin to work on my '00 Audi A8L 4.2.... but it keeps breaking before I can get it to him.... a total drag because shops like this are few and far between. I liked when it was Doug, John, and Kevin.... and think it's really awesome that Kevin carries on all these years later! He's not afraid of the old stuff, not afraid of the hard jobs...and himself, genuinely loves these cars. His knowledge and experience is significant. He's also humble, genuine, and kind. Very highly recommended.

Kevin and his crew are the best. Completely straighforward and honest. He doesn't kneejerk but thinks through problems. Had an 8 year check engine light problem. Been to many who had no idea or charged much for repairs that didn't work. In 4 hours kevin figured it out, He's never misled me and even sent me elsewhere for a more expedient repair.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Wynne · Sep 2023

Owner and head mechanic Kevin is a humble mastermind of most European makes, models and eras. He continues to amaze me with his depth of knowledge on so many different types of vehicles, from vintage VW's and Jaguar's to newer Mini's and Audi's. I trust this guy and the stellar staff, like Ty to assess the situation, address the vehicle's needs and know how to communicate clearly and honestly about sensible options. I have taken multiple cars here for about a decade and have never felt like there was unnecessary work being pushed. This place is trustworthy and the culture is on point! Good people doing good work, without pretense or pressure. Also for what it's worth, I grew up in the car culture of Southern California and now live in Florida and NH and have yet to come across a garage

★★★★★ 5.0 Emily Stearns · Sep 2023

Kevin is the absolute best. He is incredibly honest and knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond to help me out with my 97 VW eurovan. He has helped me out of many a jam - if I could give 6/5 stars I would! :) Also his employee Ty is just as kind and very helpful as well!
