Requested a service from Al in which he responded quickly for a turbo problem on my TTS. Ended up having a few other problems like the water pump as well, but he ordered everything after diagnosing my car so it would be ready to work on ASAP once I authorized the repair. He was very knowledgeable about Audis in general and quickly repaired everything for a fair price. Great communication and friendly service.

Al was absolutely amazing and was able to get me in quickly the day after Thanksgiving to do my pre purchase inspection before my 7 day return window for my pre owned Porsche Panamera was up. During the thorough inspection Al found that the brakes were at the bare minimum required to sell me the vehicle, some parts in the engine that needed to be replaced, and that the precious owner had put in a non Porsche battery. Al called the warranty company and was able to get them to agree to covering all the repairs required using genuine Porsche parts despite the warranty company trying to get him to use after market parts. Although brakes are not typically covered by warranty, Al was able to get my new brakes covered as well. In addition, Al had Porsche deliver genuine Porsche parts very quickly and completed the service the same day. I am very grateful for Al's exceptional work and amazing customer service and would recommend them to anyone!

Been coming to this shop for at least 9 years now. Service has always been great and the pricing is has always been reasonable. If I need something extra done that wasn't requested they always contact me and ask if I want to get it done. The communication is always great. I've brought my Audi Q7 and now my A4 for maintenance for reference.

I'm the owner of a 2015 VW Jetta TDI. GCG was a welcoming new shop experience. The owner is honest and easy to get along with. He made sure I didn't do car repairs that weren't needed and gave me a great price on the major repair I needed. After talking about future maintenance work with him, I will be bringing my car here from now on. Thanks again!!

I've been looking for a go-to Porsche specialist for my Taycan. As a car enthusiast, I need someone I can trust to do the upgrades and customizations to my car like installing European side markers and modifying my PCM restrictions. Independently owned and operated by one of the nicest guys in the industry. GCG is a must if you need anything done for your BMW, Porsche or other German ride.

Al and the team have been awesome!I've owned a lot of vehicles in my lifetime (over 40), and most recently I purchased a used SMART car as my daily driver to work.Discovering the SMART is made by Mercedes (and now discontinued in the US), only a small selection of MB dealerships service these cars.I've tried reaching out to other auto shops and not many are familiar with SMART cars. When I reached out to Al, he didn't hesitate and reassured me that he services these vehicles.Al went above and beyond with my (new-to-me) vehicle. MB made an inferior product with these SMART cars, so materials appear to be cheaply made. For my situation, the rear brake drums and lug nuts exhibited some surface rust. Unsure if it's related to the previous owner who lived by the beach, but Al surprised me by getting those parts painted; and now my car looks like new!

I would be giving them zero stars if I could! Horrible service, horrible pricing, horrible work! I have a 2011 Porsche Panamera and I have never worked with anybody worse than them in these past 12 years of owning a car, I usually never post reviews but this one was really one unlike another!!Services: Transmission
