German Auto Clinic Inc.
Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Porsche and Volvo service on North Main Street, a walk from Walnut Creek BART.
Acerca de
German Auto Clinic Inc. works out of unit 11 at 2040 North Main Street in Walnut Creek, within walking distance of the Walnut Creek BART station. Its website names Jose A. Lara, the contact on this listing, as owner and says he has spent more than 30 years in the automotive trade; the same site gives 1992 as the year the shop was founded. As the name suggests, German and other European cars are the focus, though the shop takes a wider mix of vehicles.
Repairs and service the shop lists
Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche, Volvo and Saab are the makes named first, and the site adds that domestic and other foreign cars are welcome. Listed work covers oil changes and routine maintenance, tire service and wheel alignment, electrical diagnostics and air conditioning service. The about page says the shop foreman trained in Germany.
For customers who leave a car for the day, the shop lists a free shuttle to BART, free Wi-Fi in the waiting room and an early-bird drop-off option.
Before you bring the car in
Appointments can be requested through the scheduling page on the website or by phone. The opening hours read differently on two pages of the site, so call ahead if you plan to arrive near the start or end of the day. Describe the problem as precisely as you can: when a warning light came on, whether a noise changes with speed or braking, and any recent work done elsewhere. Ask for a written estimate before repairs begin and for a call if the job grows beyond it, and say whether you want the replaced parts back. Every California repair shop must register with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and a shop's registration can be searched on the bureau's website.
Drivers it serves
North Main Street is convenient for drivers in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill, Concord and Alamo, with Danville, Orinda and Martinez a little farther out in Contra Costa County. The BART shuttle suits commuters who drop a car off on the way to work and collect it on the way home.
To book or ask about a repair, call 925-944-0240. The website also lists a second number, 925-943-6494.
