I have taken my 9 BMWs (Honda, GMC, Ford as well) to Helmut for over 25

years. Both he and Mike Holmes are the best, and are often found solving problems that other area garages were unable to solve. Mike and Helmut will keep

any car running and dependable and SAFE. They have helped me out of more than one jam; even after hours, to get me on my way. Even helped me sell some cars. They are top notch. They SAVE me money in the long run, and I feel safe driving anywhere anytime. My last car was 23 years old and I sold it to the first guy that looked at it, because it was in such great shape! Thanks, Helmut and Mike.

I won't go back. 2 strikes, not waiting for a 3rd. Not what it use to be. You can tell Helmut wants no part of it anymore. They charged me for genuine BMW parts only to find that they used MUCH LESS EXSPENSIVE aftermarket parts. When every other Euro garage is full and busy and Helmuts is empty there's a reason.

Having apprenticed with Helmut in the 1980s I give him my highest recommendation. Both he and Mike Holmes are excellent technicians who recognize the value of diagnosis, simple basic maintenance, and the customer service inherent in proactive parts replacement on persnickety new BMWs. As Old World craftsmanship disappears from our globalized world, you can always find it at Helmut's German Auto Service in the lovely Green Mountain State of Vermont.

Helmut runs a high quality shop. He seems to take very seriously the idea of maintaining our favorite cars. He has extensive and thorough knowledge of both the E30 and E46 vehicles I have brought him. Many shops take a scattershot approach to resolving issues; replacing parts until the symptoms go away. Helmut diagnoses and fixes problems and also looks for incipient problems, fixing them before they become more costly and unpleasant.
