Schneider Autohaus

A great team that always does a great job. If your auto is German, you won’t find a better shop. Dealing with a local family business gives you the advantage of a trustworthy partner. They value relationship above «the book». Try that at the dealer!
We have two german cars and they both go to Schneider for service. Highly recommended!

Henry,
The car handles great after the turbo tie rod upgrade!
I appreciate your having made the recommendation.
What a pleasure it is to drive it without the squeaking.
Thanks (as always) for the good work.

Took my 2011 Mini Cooper here because the dealership is so far away, and would definitely come back! They are very honest and helpful. They tried the first step in repairing something with my check engine light rather than replacing parts right away and charging more. Would definitely recommend!

Great group of people, and phenomenal attention to detail. Car is always perfect after a visit.

First time I had my car serviced here and am very pleased. It was a routine service and was performed on time. They did suggest several other items needed replacing (which they should), but weren’t pushy, and gave me a cost and time estimate of the additional work. I really felt like they were on the side of the customer, which is rare these days. They have made another regular customer.

I have the good fortune to own and enjoy three German cars (2 Audis & 1 BMW) and the even better fortune to have the services of Schneider Autohaus available to maintain them.
Henry, Paula, Chris and the rest of the crew are automobile enthusiasts and it is reflected in the care, skill and professionalism they exhibit in addressing their customer’s requirements.
Their workmanship is top notch, their prices are competitive and the shop’s attention to detail and «doing it right» the first time is apparent.
Whether it is a routine maintenance service or a more complex repair job, Schneider Autohaus is my first and only choice.
I have referred several friends to the shop (primarily Porsche and Audi owners) and I have received uniformly positive feedback on these referrals.
I am at the tipping point of adding a «mature» 911 to my fleet, and having Schneider Autohaus available to maintain it may be the deciding factor! ;-)

Very happy with the customer service. They checked my car (VW) out after a engine light went on and no repair was needed and they did not charge me. Great people.

My husband and I have been having our BMWs serviced at Schneider for 4 years. We are very pleased with their work, and how well they explain what needs to be done and why.

The crew at Schneider’s are honest, quick and I quite believe a VERY fair price for their competency. I have been bringing an engine swapped frankencar to them, and they have fixed every issue I have thrown at them.
The crew are pleasant to talk to, explain the issues well, and when available, offer several options.
Last, as a few of them are competent drivers on track, they offer an EXCELLENT alignment and chassis balance service, which helped me drive the car to it’s potential.

I do not own my Porsche anymore, but during the five years that I owned it this business was very good to me and very honest. They kept my car running well even though I could not afford to keep up on all the maintenance that would have been ideal. I highly recommend them.

Schneider Autohaus has serviced six Porsches, a BMW and a Mercedes for me over a period of 17 years. They always understood exactly what I wanted (not to be standing next to a dead car waiting for AAA) and I knew I could count on them to make that happen. Over the years, Joe and now Henry have been my go-​to guys for all things automotive. If getting the job done right the first time is important to you for your Porsche or BMW there’s no need to look elsewhere.

Needed a place that knows how to properly align my bimmer. Junior at Santa Barbara Tire recommended them because he was booked up with a fleet of taxis. So they dropped it off at Schneider’s and I wasn’t disappointed. Car drives perfect now and they also told me a few things that need repairs. This is after I tried taking it to BIG BrAND TIRES in Goleta who charged me for an alignment though the car still pulled to the left. They tried to tell me my frame was bent even though my car has never been hit. So if you got a German car, stay away from the $ 50 alignments, take it to either Schneider’s or Santa Barber Tire & Services and get it done right.

Great people to deal with, took my M5 in to have a CEL read and they took care of it even though they where busy. Will be using them in the future.

Excellent service, very skillfull technicians provide all the best for your Porsche or BMW, this is the place to go in socal

Excellent BMW shop. They do Porsche as well, and I assume just as well. I had my older M5 towed to their shop on Tuesday because it would not start. They were busy, but they had me on the road with a new fuel pump in 36 hours. Nice, knowledgeable people. Reasonable rates. I recommend them highly.
