A+ Service. Thank you John!
Great guys, great work. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I’ll be taking all my cars to them from now on. Thanks guys!
John and Jeff are awesome guys with integrity and a wealth of knowledge. They understand owning BMWs, VW, Mercedes, etc aren’t inexpensive and their work gives you incredible value. BMW of Louisville told me I needed 10,000$ for a new engine, after charging me one hour of labor, they saved me almost $8,00 by not be lazy. They replaced a camshaft and valve cover and I’m back on the road! Thanks!
I've worked with owner John Kephart for years and trust him with my BMWs and Mini. He knows his stuff, but just as important you can trust him! Highly recommend.
This mechanic shop is in a great location, right off Hurstbourne/Plantside area. I feel like I can trust them not to rip me off when giving me advice about my car. I definitely will call them again if I need any work done on my BMW. This place provided a second opinion & $800 saved - I’m glad I got it.
When I took my car in, they provided clear information & I had my car back in no time. I will recommend them to anyone I know that drives a BMW, Benz or Mini.
Fantastic experience on my first visit to GermanTech yesterday. I would highly recommend them for your next service or repair. Everything was explained thoroughly by John and I have the upmost confidence in their recommendations. I will definitely be back. Thanks guys.
Friendly, honest, and well-done service.
I contacted GermanTech for significant work (several oil leaks) on my daughters BMW. Not being from the local area, I had to rely on customer reviews and phone communications. I couldn't have been more happy with the results. They provided a free rental for my daughter while her car was in the shop. They also communicated regularly alone the way as they got into the repair and discovered other issues that needed attention beyond what was estimated. I took advantage of a couple of issues and declined others without feeling any pressure from our customer service rep (Bridget). She was very knowledgeable of what was going on with the repair and sympathetic to me trying to get my daughter's car into a safe and derivable condition with consideration of cost to me. At the end of the repair I got a detailed report of what was fixed and what might need attention in the future. Their warranty exceeded the local BMW dealership and other shops I'd called in the area. The facilities appeared clean and well equipped with a number of service bays busy with work. It had a very professional feel to it. I even received a follow-up email asking about my satisfaction with the repair and their availability to service my daughters car in the future. They have earned my confidence and respect for future work. I don't hesitate to give them my highest recommendation!
Excellent service for our BMW M convertible & Audi Q7. Better prices & better service than dealerships. Located in brand new building at end of an industrial street but still close to interstate. They also use the latest digital technology to give work estimates and to approve/deny work items which provides so much info to make informed decisions. So glad a friend referred me here! They even follow up after service to ensure 100% satisfaction
These folks are really good at what they do. I especially enjoy the emailed approval document that they send after the assessment. Even included pictures of some of the stuff that needed to be repaired. I was able to go through and approve each thing that I wanted to be completed. Never had that before and it really gave me the time to think and research each item. The work was performed timely and - to me - seemed to be done very professionally. Everyone that I communicated with was very nice and helpful. This place makes me wish I owned more German cars!
I had a good experience with GermanTech. Because of my work schedule I did not engage with anyone in person. I both dropped car off, and picked up, after hours. Repairs took slightly longer than anticipated but I'd rather things be done correctly than rush. I also did not have much time to compare pricing for repairs but pricing seemed appropriate for type. Facility appeared clean and orderly which goes a long way towards confidence. I like that their focus is on German cars.
I cannot stress enough how honest and helpful this shop is. This is by far the best customer service I have received at every level. They take what can feel maddening and make it a nearly pleasant experience. I will be using this shop for all of my repair and maintenance needs. I highly recommend.

Bought my car to GermanTech after hitting some road debris and damaging my suspension. I am glad to say that it has been fixed and I have the upmost confidence in their work. I will only take my cars to them from now on and would highly recommend them for service or repair needs.
I have dealt with Jeff and a John at GermanTech a few times on a number of my vehicles. Very reasonable prices on a marque that can really command outrageous charges from other shops or dealerships. One of only 2 shops in Louisville I would ever take my BMW. They have been in the business locally for many years and it shows. Thanks.
Owning and taking care of a 2011 M3 is a team effort. Having a service team that understands your passion and protects your investment is priceless and was a big part of my purchase decision. Jeff Byrn and his team at GermanTech MotorWorks, LLC gave me the confidence to buy a 9 year old car that I know will need honest, knowledgeable, and professional care to keep running at its best. I highly recommend this shop for all your BMW service needs!
Great service at a great value!
Im in absolute awe at not only the quality of work but the customer service of this shop. extremely down to earth. extremely fair pricing. mom/pops feel (if it takes less time well charge you less) type deal. A++ across the board. This will be my permanent go to shop for all my foreign cars. By far a surreal experience. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby.
