Horst's Bavarian Auto Works, Inc.

Horst called me back personally after I left a message about scheduling a Pre Purchase Inspection with him and I got such a good and honest "vibe" from our conversation about my possible purchase of a particular late model BMW, that I would recommend bringing ANY German made vehicle to him for inspection or service! He seems extremely knowledgeable, honest and completely candid and forthright.

This place could actually do good work... But there are horrible communication problems I think... Unfortunate because they seem like good people. Call backs are basically non existent, so you have to call and stay on top of it... I honestly can't recommend them, and in the end they did do what was requested. Unfortunately the communication and time frame was, well way to poor.. I gave 2 stars because Alex was great to deal with and overall the pinnacle of my experience.

I know I said Id never do another review after that whole Chinese fire-drill situation. However the employees here deserve recognition for doing great work. I went to see the GERMAN SPECIALIST at Horsts in Venice hoping theyd have time to help me. I met Alex at registration great guy, funny personality and automotive knowledgeable. Then, Neal the Audi tech, Id like to apprentice with this guy. Hes very knowledgeable about Germans vehicles. And writes meticulous work notes, to advise of progress. I would gladly give this auto shop a 10/10 if you drive a German auto. If you ever need any maintenance or auto repairs call Horsts FIRST!!! 1st SIT REP: Blackbirds first air-air incursion was with a (Lexus) f sport (mica blue very sexy color) @ 80 roll I put all my faith in Horsts. Downshifted into sport mode and as the f sport was level and slowly creeping, the BLACKBIRD with pedal mashed to the floor just walked away. just for clearance I have no knowledge of mods on the f sport, the BLACKBIRD has all bolt ons and IE tunes.
