REVIEWS

Naperville, IL

Brought in my Mercedes GLA with an electrical problem that on surface looked like a change of battery issue. Bernie & team were thorough, discovered it was not the battery, and systematically investigated to find the problem. Honest, quick, and extremely reasonable price. This is the second time I've come here -- without a doubt this is where I'll keep bringing my car, for any minor or major issue.

Highly recommend and truly a diamond in the rough. Bernie is a wizard of knowledge and can easily explain issues and options, while addressing your concerns with fair and honest pricing. Take all my bmw's here for work and never an issue.

Automeister service and prices and knowledge are great. They fixed thing on my Audi 2009 Convertible at price much less than our local Audi dealer and quality was great. Also they found an item on my car associated with the headlights that the dealership never found and fixed it at a reasonable price. Highly recommend !

Alan K.

My son in law recommended I try Automeister for my car service needs and I have now experienced years of their expertise and good service. Bernie and his team have always done what was needed at the time which has resulted in extended life of our vehicles. If you want good reliable service at a fair price visit Automeister.

Do not let anyone work on your cars but Bernie. Honest, skilled and unbelievably accommodating. I finally got rid of my BMW so as a result Bernie needs business. He will make you and your car feel good. Guaranteed!

John

Only positive comments on the service and customer care we receive. Bernie and his crew have cared for our cars for close to 20 years (Benz, Mazda, VW). As a great testimonial, their expertise has kept my 2002 Benz with 366K miles in top running order! Prices and service are great.

Just recently received a letter from Automeister advertising their shop. Glad I did. Had an issue with my BMW and decided to give them a go. Great decision. I was very impressed with Bernie and his knowledge and was very, very pleased with the work that he and his crew did. Will definitely take my car to Automeister for future repairs. Great work Bernie, Thank You.

We have been customers of Automeister for 15 years. A friend suggested we get a second opinion on a Mercedes repair. He recommended Automeister. The Mercedes dealer told us we needed a new gas tank. Automeister told us we need only a new gas cap. Automeister's $15 suggestion was all the car needed and saved us over $1,000+. Since this first time, we have been a loyal customer of Automeister taking all our family cars, from high end cars to our kids used car purchases of Jeeps, Fords and Pontiacs. We are always pleased with the repairs and customer service.

Diana M.

You will be servicing my Audi from now on...no more dealer pricing!

Kevin

We have been taking our bmw's to Bernie for almost 20 years. They do great work, and are very reliable. Highly recommend Automeister!

Lauren

We were referred to Bernie by a friend two years ago. I have a BMW x1 . Bernie is honest and up front about the work and maintenance needed. His team will determine the problem and then recommend the solution. We are very pleased with the work. When we have had an immediate issue he has taken care of us in a timely manner. I highly recommend his team and appreciate his services.

Karla

Have been a customer of Automeister for almost nineteen years. I can honestly say they are the best car repair shop I have ever worked with. Bernie is an outstanding mechanic. He runs his business with the utmost professionalism. He does the work that needs to be done on your vehicle to get you back on the road. No up-selling!! Over the years I have sent family and friends to Bernie for car repairs and everyone has always been satisfied with the service. Automeister should always be your first option for when your car needs service.

Chris

Originally referred to us by our in-laws, Automeister has now been servicing our cars (X5, 530xi, Jaquar, M5) for the past 10+ years. Everything from brake service to transmission work, they have always provided excellent service, practical / appropriate recommendations, a friendly attitude, and very competitive pricing. I won't go back to dealership and strongly suggest anyone looking for service to take their car to Automeister. Highly recommended.

Brian A.

We just wanted to say how happy we are with the service received at the Automeister. We find their work to be at the highest quality, and pricing very competitive.

Kevin M.

I recently had my BMW X5 serviced at Automeister and am very pleased with the quality of their service. They are conscientious and very capable in determining the cause of repair issues and correcting them. The cost of the repairs was fair and reasonable. I am a returning customer and will continue to go to Automeister to maintain my cars.

Paul K.

I've been bringing my Jaguar and 2 Audis here for several years, for a wide variety of services. I have received very good service at very reasonable prices, always treated professionally and any problems resolved fairly.

Steve N.

Took my 2000 BMW 323i to Bernie several months back. The problem: coolant dump & high temps. Excellent due diligence, diagnostics and communications on what was found and what was being done for repair. Good price - and most importantly - absolutely no problems since the repair. In my opinion there is no better automotive specialist!

Nick G.

Bernie and his staff has kept our 2001 Jag on the road for over 15 years. We trust them and are impressed with their knowledge base and honest approach.

Paula J.

I wish I would have found Bernie earlier. His knowledge and Service is fantastic. He fixed my 73 Opel GT and it runs better then ever. I had a few problems specifically lack of power and the car was pulling to the left. The car was at a different place before and now I know that they did do a good job. From now on I will service all our family cars only at Automeister Inc. Thank you so very much!

Frank

I just bought 1982 380SL with few problems, specifically oil leak, stuck hard top and few minor problems. This one was my first visit at Automeister. Burnie and his team did excellent job at reasonable price. They were professional and provided excellent service. Car runs great now and driving around with top down. I'll bring my other cars at Automeister for repairs in future.

Kiran P.

I've been coming to Bernie and the folks at Automeister for years now. Bernie is extremely professional and someone you can count on to get things done perfectly and with a fast turnaround. He puts a lot of care into his work and has helped me with many of my projects. He's the only mechanic I trust with my cars, and the only person I recommend to my friends.

Randy

I brought my BMW in for a scheduled service and asked Bernie to also check brakes, oil and brake fluid for servicing if required. Bernie promptly called me back after a thorough vehicle inspection and advised on what I needed for the service. My car was then ready within 3 hours from the phone call. I have been a loyal customer for four vehicles now and Bernie and his team provide exceptional service and advice that allows my family and I to keep our vehicles in peak condition at all times.

Tim B.

Had a problem with an oil leak on my gl350. Bernie and Jim provided a detailed explanation of two major leaks and a great service. The dealer wanted a lot of money for the same repairs. Automeister performed the repairs and cleaned the carbon buildup on my intake manifold for half of what the dealer wanted. The vehicle runs great! I plan on driving it for many more years as I have Automeister to keep it in great shape!

Joe G.

Have been taking my Mercedes to Automeister for a few years. Bernie and his crew are very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining repairs/parts needed. I've had great service every time I've taken my vehicle in for service.

Jim K.

I have just found Automeister and I'm so glad I did. I've had three Mercedes in the past and have never received the quality service (and honesty) that Bernie and team provides. I will not take my cars anywhere else! Thank you Automeister!

Kathy T.

I have gone to Automeister Inc. for years; for routine services and repairs. They have always been as good as it gets and with excellent pricing and support. I've taken my Mercedes, Volkswagen and Mazda vehicles there and always had the same great service. Bernie and Sergei are extremely knowledgeable and communicate work status on a timely basis. It's not often that I write reviews but in this case they are truly worth recommending.

George F.

I have been a customer of Automeister for about 5 years now, and wanted to say that the level of service they offer is significantly above your typical car shop, or any dealership. The owner takes his time to explain things to his customers, and the mechanics pay attention to every detail. Whether it's a standard maintenance call, or any other mechanical repair - Automeister remains my first choice.

Adrian C.

Was very pleased with service at Automeister! Quickly diagnosed problem with my Volvo S40 with "check engine" light. Car drives beautifully! We want to give the 10 year old car to our son in Virginia, but were afraid that it would not pass inspection for getting a license plate. Thanks so much! We will definitely be bringing our Volkswagens here! Great service and very reasonable pricing!

K Murphy

I have been looking for several years a good auto repair shop to service my 2003 Mercedes E class. A neighbor of mine recommended Automeisters and I couldn't be happier. Bernie was very knowledgeable and although my car needed many repairs, some of them too costly to undertake all at once, he was very helpful in prioritizing the repairs and attending to the most pressing concerns. The repairs were performed quickly and reasonably priced. I couldn't be happier and I have a plan to fix the remaining repairs in due course with Bernie's help and advice. I was so pleased that I also scheduled to bring my wife's car in to do brake repairs in the coming week. Highly recommend them.

George K.

I've been taking my Porsche 911 996 Cab to Bernie and Automeister for many years. This last experience has shown me that my loyalty was well placed. My Intermediate Shaft (IMS) failed, which I later found out actually threw off the cam timing. This was a very detailed repair job; Bernie and his staff handled it well. Automeister has always been courteous and they stand by their work. I can recommend, and I will continue to take my 911 to Automeister.

Mike J.

A friend of mine recommended Automeister to me over twenty years ago, and they have been servicing our cars ever since. They do high quality work at very reasonable prices. On top of that, they are extremely friendly and responsive. If you are looking for a shop with people you can trust, look no further.

Jeff C.

I have had my car serviced there ever since I stopped going to the dealership and always return for the friendly and knowledgeable service.

Amit G.

Don't go to the dealership. Automeister repairs and maintains my BMW much more cost effectively and I trust the diagnoses.

Edwin B.

I have been getting my vehicles serviced at Automeister for as long as they have been in business. I have never been disappointed.
