About us

Absolutely fantastic service. Quick response and a lovely clean workshop. So nice to have such care taken of my car! The owner and all the team were all extremely welcoming and helpful! Thank you!

Second year taking my car to these guys! Fantastic service all round, don’t expect anything less! Updated throughout the day with what needed doing, no hidden cost. Lovely clean motor at pick up as well. Great services 🙌🏻

German automotive provided an excellent service with a very high standard of work. Lovely people who are happy to help and worked diligently on our engine. This is the only place we want our M3 to go to in future.

Great Service as always. Staff are friendly and attentive. Explain the work done and take time to go through paperwork. Always satisfied with end result. Highly recommended, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Excellent service. Very knowledgeable team. Felt comfortable with the work they did and that my car was looked after. Will be using them for all my car services.

I took my Mercedes to German Automotive today for MOT and service.
The staff were friendly, very helpful and it was an all-around pleasant experience
I certainly recommend this garage and I will be coming back in the future when required. Thankyou

Wow - In 30 years of driving I’ve never had my car cleaned whilst it’s been in a garage for repairs! What a lovely touch! And thank you. Anyway back to the review.
Great team, fitted me in quick as I needed my car for a long journey at the weekend, found fault and repaired, carried out diagnostics for reported issues and found nothing so refreshing to be told that. Full health check also carried out. This garage go above and beyond and I will be back when necessary. Would recommend 🤗

German Automotive have been looking after my BMW 640d for a couple of years now. The service from Dan and Sean is great and it’s nice to be spoken to without any BS. They also helped save me money by advising what work was not needed as well as what was, which is rare in a garage.
I’ve since booked in my wife’s Skoda for work and will continue to use them for years to come.

First time taking my Mercedes GLC to German Automotive, Ascot Drive, Derby. Booked in for a service and MOT and received a friendly professional welcome and amazing customer service. Would highly recommend for their amazing service and good prices. Definitely worth a five star review!

We are over the moon with German Automotive. We have just had our car serviced for the first time with them and will certainly go back to them for the car’s future needs! Arranging the service was easy with the lovely lady on the phone who answered all our questions with no problems and was very reassuring. All the people we dealt with were friendly and helpful. Such a refreshing change from the difficulties we experienced with a certain BMW dealership in Derby! Thank you German Automotive!

The entire team have been absolutely fantastic! Extremely polite with their communication, advised me correctly on what I needed as part of my service and provided the best customer service possible. If you want a honest, trustworthy and reputable service/repair centre for your vehicle I highly recommend this company!!!

I had a problem with my Audi A5 convertible roof, through word of mouth heard about a guy called Jack who works for German autos who was a wizard with Audi’s and BM’s. Popped in on the off chance to see him and within a day my car was back on the road with a working roof. Can’t praise them enough for the quick and extremely professional and friendly service and no where near dealership prices. Extremely great value for money and will recommend whenever I can.

Only tried these due to my service plan ending at BMW..Im glad I did as i found them to be very friendly and very easy to talk to, they listened to what I wanted and did exactly that with no hidden extras/add ons.. the price was very reasonable and i will start using them from now on.. very happy with my experience.... well done and thank you

Excellent place. Been coming for servicing/MOT and general repairs the best part of 10 years now with various cars throughout that time. The team are professional and friendly, never pushy and very knowledgeable with the job at hand. Clear and transparent prices and advice, never had any surprises or issues using the team here. I live in Burton now but will happily drive over to use them as I know they can be trusted.

One of their technicians came out with me for an hour long diagnosis drive and when I asked how much do I owe they said don’t worry!!
Cannot believe you can still get this level of customer service in this day and age, if you need any work doing I highly recommend these guys.

Took my old SL320 in today due to an issue with the parking brake. As it turned out it was a minor issue to the point that the assessment and work was carried out free of charge on the basis I bring it back should the problem arise again. Knowledgable and experienced staff with great customer service

Amazing company, service and price! Will definitely recommend to anyone with a German Car. I called up and they got me in the next day and sorted it out straight away! I went to the mini garage I bought it from and received a quote which was 3 times the price with a 2 week waiting list. This company had a unbeatable quote for the work on my car!

I highly recommend this garage, I had some troubles with my car and needed a flywheel and clutch. Danielle responded extremely quickly to my emails and helped me throughout the process by keeping me updated. It took the garage 2-3 days to order the parts and install everything, alongside this they cleaned my car and gave me a gift for going with them. My family use this garage and would recommend to anyone. Very reliable, my car drives so nicely now.

Great service! I turned up on the wrong day and they still sorted the car. Price very reasonable and it’s came back VERY clean. I was very late for pick up due to a late taxi but rang in advance and they waited for me even though it was after closing. Outstanding service, will definitely use again.

I have used German Automotive a number of times now for repairs, servicing, MOT etc. I have been very pleased with the service I have received each time, trust them and wouldn’t take my BMW anywhere else now. Can highly recommend 👍

Had a service done on my Mercedes A45. Would highly recommend this company.

Had my headlights adjusted as there was a problem with the ILS after it had suffered some impact. Not only did the gentleman fix that issue but also found another problem which he informed me of and resolved. I even got to go into the workshop with him and look at it which was a nice experience (since I am quite technical myself it was a pleasant conversation with the mechanic)
It was fun sitting in the office and chatting with them whilst they did their thing. Lovely people to talk to and excellent engagement between the staff. This also translates into their quality of work and competitive price.
I am going back again on Wedneday for some updates on my car! you won't see the last of me :) highly recommended

Great service. Explained everything to me clearly. I've had my TT Quattro for 18 years using it mostly in the summer. I recently moved to Derby and was looking for the best Independent Audi garage in the area. I think I've found it!
