Why people come back
Will and his team are professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. We have all of our vehicles serviced by them.
2011 BMW X6 had rough idle and miss fire and then it got to the point that wouldn't start. They were knowledgeable in finding the issues.
I have been using Klarer Automotive for several years now, and they never disappoint.
Dealer-level knowledge, without the dealer
German cars have their own maintenance schedules, warning systems and quirks. Owner Wil Klarer and his team work on them every day, so you get a straight answer about what your car needs, what can wait, and what it will cost before any work starts.
