Horton's German Auto Repair

Came here with a blown motor in my old 1995 318is. I had already lowered the car and it had many other new parts in it and I hated the slow old m42 anyway so I asked them to swap it. To make a long story short, Hortons German Auto Repair was able to accommodate a serious task with reasonable pricing and a very excellent job well done. The best part about this experience was communication. As with any motor swap, there are tons of variables to consider and each time I needed to get new parts they called me and let me know where I could find them at a good cost. They also worked with me on pricing being I'm a student working part time. However I like my car and didn't want the cheapest available mechanic. I wanted the most comprehensive and error free job possible and I definitely feel I got that here. You get what you pay for and I think coming here was a smart move. They were patient when I had to order the mid pipes, get the other exhaust in, and helped me set up dropping off the motor we swapped in. They identified my clutch needing to go and did not charge me additional labor for this. Same with a faulty water pump. Ross, Patty and Robert were all very pleasant and overall I feel they greatly assisted me in this entire ordeal. I now have a fantastic, much quicker and lower mile motor running in my car. The wiring is all neatly done and any custom fabbing was minimal aside from exhaust fitment, which they were able to do in shop. I tried to provide the best parts and OEM only so I'm sure this helped. Robert was the mechanic who did pretty much everything. He even fixed my door for me which was very cool. He did many extra and awesome things you'd expect to find at a reputable shop. Belts were all replaced, fluids checked and replaced if necessary, e brake tightened, the door handle issue which was horrible, fixed. Fuses and electrical components like fog lights that once didn't work, now do. He explained how the shift linkages were slightly different since we kept my transmission and it now basically feels exactly like a short shift kit which is nice. Oil was changed and anywhere fitment or mounting required custom work, Robert came through. Great mechanic. Everything works, he said if I return with the correct hose my ac will blow ice cold too! There were some bumps along the way but again, with swaps of this nature this is to be expected. The pricing, accommodation and overall quality of work and satisfaction can't be beat. I will be returning here for future work on my suspension components and regular tune ups! Edit: They have now also helped me identify and easily solve a slight coolant leak, installed and recharged the air conditioner which blows ice cold, and also installed A susension “x brace” which protects the oil pan and adds stability and improves handling. And done a few oil changes. Everything was an addition to the car, not a repair and the coolant leak was just a loose hose. So again, awesome place! I am now experiencing a slight oil leak and would also like some mounts and bushings swapped out, so the team at Hortons will be hearing from me shortly for another job :)

VW van owners like me have Horton's on speed dial. VW whisperers are hard to find, a great one like Horton's is a God send. TYTY for keeping the bus alive

Took my Bimmers to Horton's, years ago. Took my Audi in for a quick fix this week and got what I expected, quality work at a fair price. Horton's is the best in town for German Auto Repair.

Helped me jump start my car after leaving my lights on overnight at the nextdoor hotel. Thanks!
