German Autoworks

I called Mike Little from Sedona on Friday seeing if I can get in on Tuesday. Mike spent 10 minutes on the phone asking and answering questions. He told me he was booked 2 weeks out but couldn’t let me hit the road without at least looking at the van. His 2 bay shop is in the back of another shop.
Upon arrival he began to inspect the motor, adjusted the fuel mixture, replaced fuel lines, and offered explanations and advice.
Having a background in automotive, this was a rare experience. German Autowerks Ltd is a gem!

This is the best place in Arizona to take your air-​cooled VW’s. Mike is very knowledgeable, fair, and honest. I have been taking my buses and bug here for years, and I highly recommend German Autowerks!

We were pleased at the professionalism of this shop. Pricing was also fair for a vw. Mike the owner is very knowledgeable.

I do you not have enough good things to say about the shop and Mike the owner/​mechanic.
He and his crew are MAGIC!
They are honest, quick, efficient, and did I mention HONEST! I will continue to take my Audi and VW here for anything/​everything. Not only do they do great work but know some other good guys in the area with other specialties, like auto body. Thankyou again German Autowerks!!!

This place was great, Mike was a huge helped and solved the mystery of our VW that would just shutoff while driving. We took it to another company that couldn’t figure it out and wanted to charge us way too much. Mike was very helpful and straight in his quotes and fixing the problem. We will be returning for additional work necessary and feel we are getting really good workmanship for the buck. Thanks Mike.

Its hard to find a good mechanic in this town, but Mike at German Autowerks is the man when it comes to your VW/​Audi. I came to Mike under the recommendation of several members of a local VW club after I had a very unsavory experience with another local VW mechanic. I drive an 85 Vanagon with a 90 Jetta diesel conversion, so it was important to me to find someone who knew these vehicles inside and out. Mike has been working on VW diesels and vans since the 70’s.
I have limited maintenance history on the van, but I put together a spreadsheet of all the receipts I had from the previous owner… the other mechanic I provided this to didn’t even take a look at it… but Mike went over it in great detail so he could understand better what was going on. The other mechanic told me I just needed to replace the rotors and pads on my brakes, but after Mike looked at it he determined they needed a complete overhaul… and called me to tell me why BEFORE he started the work. He has completed several big maintenance items for me on the van, always sitting down with you when you go to pick it up and going over each item in detail, what he found, and what you may need to look out for in the future. I also find his prices to be more than reasonable.
I’m so happy to have finally found a competent VW mechanic and will continue to take my van to Mike as long as he is in business!

We LOVE Mike, he is so kind to my son who is 18 and does not have any extra money to spare. He is always honest and never charges more than he says. He never call back and says, oh now the car needs something additional! If you have a VW of any make or model, bring it to Mike, you won’t be disappointed! Sure wish he worked on other brands:)

About a month ago I purchased a used Jetta and after a few weeks of driving the car the check engine light came on. Since I didn’t know a mechanic that worked on VW’s I went to Google to see what I could find. I called German Autoworks and talked to Mike (Owner). He said to bring the car by anytime and he would run a test. I took the car in later that day and he dropped what he was doing to run a test and I was on my way in no time. He gave me his recommendation which turned out to be correct and he did not charge me for anything. I was impressed with how I was treated so made an appointment to have my ATF, fuel filter, and oil changed the next week. Again, the work was done and, since I had just purchased the car, he went over my whole car and said everything was good and did not recommend any additional work to be done. Bottom line: after having a couple of dealings with Mike at German Autoworks I feel I have found an honest and good mechanic which is hard to find these days. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I would definitely recommend him.
