    I am thankful for their expedited services, very pleasant and efficient to work with. I took my audi Q7 to them and they worked in my vehicle promptly, they were able to find the problem and fixed the problem in a timely manner. I will definitely be using them again! Thank you German Depot. Had it not been from a referral I would have never knew you existed. They are just efficient but move quicker than the Audi Dealership

    I received the best service I have in awhile. The service was fast and all my lights was off once my BMW was fix the same day. The guy even took the time out to teach me how to correctly start my car. A break down was sent to my phone explaining everything before and after diagnosis. BIG SHOT OUT TO STEVEN FOR IDENTIFYING & FIXING THE PROBLEM EVEN DOING A MAJOR HOLIDAY..

    Had to put a new air compressor and 2 front air shocks on my 2011 S550. They did a Great Job at a fraction of the cost Mercedes Factory would have charged. These Guys have earned All of My Business. GREAT JOB AND SRRVICE. The Pickleball King, Peter M.

    I loved my White 2014 BMW 6 Series! I am OG, it was white and had mother of pearl Enkei wheels, sunroof, Ipremium sound. I lived hard and drove it hard.--Miami to Fort Lauderdale and back and forth. My BMW needed repairs and I mean I had drivetrain malfunction and high pressure hoses, then limp mode... First, the drivetrain malfunction warning (e.g. "Drivetrain malfunction: Drive moderately. Maximum drivetrain output not available. Consult service center.") putting it in limp mode. After finding German Car Depot my prayers were answered. After the expert mechanics consulted with BMW repair shop owner, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, the real issue was merely spark plugs needed replacing. That's simplified, but I am no BMW expert mechanic...but we got one now! German Car Depot in Hollywood is THE #1 Independent BMW Service Center in Broward & North Dade.

    The dealer said I needed brakes on all 4 wheels and when I took my BMW to the German Car Depot they showed me that the front had 1/2 of the pad life remaining. They did a full inspection, sent me a link with pictures and a little oil leak showed. They cleaned the area, added dye and said bring it back in a week. I got the brakes in the rear done for $260 less than BMW with the same genuine parts. I would have to say that Richie and the team made me feel like I was like family. I now have sent my co-worker with her M3 and she was very happy .

    Extremely knowledgeable of complex German vehicles as my BMW. In the process of them fixing my vehicle with a no start problem, they also fixed my a.c. blower which was making a weird noise and found other problems that I wouldn't have known about. Would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to German Car Depot.
