Santa Barbara German Auto Repair

the best

Took my 2005 Audi A4 3.0 here after looking for a trustworthy mechanic and was not disappointed. Brent and Chris are very knowledgeable and got the job done quickly and carefully. I was a bit worried about the hourly rate, but they are very fair and honest with their billing and even fixed a coolent temp sensor while they were getting to my O2 sensor with barely any extra cost. Quality work, fair pricing and knowledgeable and friendly staff. I will definitely be returning.

Always great and reliable service. I trust Schneider completely.

Always the best!

always exceptional work!

Ever since my first encounter with them at a PCA-SB event at the Fairgrounds, I have felt blessed to know the Shneider crew. Henry and Chris A and crew knew that my vision for the car was to look stock "OEM+" of which they have so very well helped me accomplish that vision. With how eager I was to finish this, their communication, melding of the same vision, and timely work was always encouraging and put me at peace when my car is and was in their hands. I also see the same care applied to their staff: you can see the smiles, and it I can easily get carried away chatting with them. Not only is the team here a blessing to the automotive world, they are a blessing to be called friends as well. My next car purchase will most likely involve a car needing their care. Thanks Schneiders, and I hope to have you drive the car as it is meant to be drivin sooner than later. Paula, thank you as well! -Justin: owner of 2 E30s engine swaps serviced by Schneiders Autohaus of SB.

I came here to get a second opinion for suspensions on my 996TT and also got an oil service. From the first drive in I feel confident about the shop. They have classic Porsches to the latest in the garage being worked on. Chris is superb to deal with from start to finish. No up selling whatsoever where other places you can guaranteed that you will be pressured. He answered all my concerns and gave me options. Price is great as well. Will definitely take my Porsche here again. Thank you Chris. Friendly staffs as well.
