Laguna Hills AUTO REPAIR

This is the third time I've been to Pacific German (all unrelated of course). The service has been timely, fair and logical. So many places, when I speak the mechanic, don't seen to know what they are talking about, however, Shawn always has a reasonable, logical explanation for what's going on. Aside from that, his pricing is fair and he gets the job done quickly. There's a reason I drive 30-45 minutes to get to Pacific German and will continue to do so for any issues I have.

Just picked my car up today and I can say with total certainty that I am a truly satisfied customer!! I've been coming to Pacific German a little over a year and a half now. I have a 1998 VW Cabrio which I bought used over 2 years ago. Shawn and his boys have kept that car running strong most likely past what it would have had I not come upon his shop. My car even runs better than when I bought it 2 years ago probably at a level comparable to a car half as old. Also did I mention the speedometer is about to hit 200 thousand miles..... I've been through tons of mechanics in the past, honestly a lot of shady work was done on my car without my knowledge I am sure. The first time we brought the car here, before even getting it on the rack, Shawn already had a list of things I needed to fix immediately (nothing you ever want to hear)....I believe he mentioned unless they were fixed the car would be an accident waiting to happen and was deemed "undriveable" by Shawn. Each time I have gotten my car worked on here (everything from new water pumps, belts, engine mounting or even just an oil change) I have noticed a dramatic yet positive effect on the the cars performance on the drive home. He really has a magical touch with cars along with his sons who are all very knowledgeable and skilled mechanics. He also really takes the time to educate you about your car, what and why he is fixing a part...he even shows you the damage. Unlike other places he doesn't use cheap parts, which although they might cost more it really doesn't match up to the quality and life of the parts he repairs (a lot if my old/original parts in the car were replaced) I'm not going to say its cheap...but he is pretty cost effective when you compare him to other mechanics, doing the same repairs (I have looked up estimated costs multiple times online and at other shops), and for the quality of work he does. I highly recommend German Pacific to anyone with a German made car. It is a drive...but it's been worth it. My car is still running strong and I know with Shawn's help its not leaving me anytime soon. :)

I own 2012 Golf R, which is one of VWs special model Golf vehicles. My car had some performance modifications done to it already and due to that my clutch was slipping. Through a local car meet I met Tyler and Mason who work at this shop, the technicians. I told them I needed a clutch and that I would be sourcing my own parts through another friend that I had. They told me to swing by and speak with the owner, their father, Shawn to work out labor quote. I got the parts and they installed them and I took the car home, for some reason the parts somehow didn't work right and the clutch didn't seem to be breaking in properly. Long story short I had the parts RMA'd, removed from vehicle by them, and for no additional charge, Shawn took care of me and installed the RMA'd parts even though he did not acquire the parts himself. That is what I call customer service. Mason installed the parts and did an exceptional job doing so. I would recommend this shop to any VW or AUDI owner hands down. They are by far the best shop servicing these makes in this area.

Came to get a quote on getting a Big Brake kit installed, despite I havent got any work doen here, but the quote process and interaction we're top notch. They were very busy with a very big project for a customer. Yet he still managed to give me 100% attention and well knows the VWAG vehicles inside and out! HIGHLY RECCOMEND. SHAWN & GREG U ROCK!

Adding another review on here. Once again, i HIGHLY recommend Pacific German. Just had some major issues with my suspension system and Shawn was incredibly helpful and reasonable in his recommendations and fix. I will continue to drive the long 45+ minutes to get here for auto service as I'm always treated very well and, of course, his pricing is extremely reasonable. Comment from Shawn S. of Pacific German Business Owner 2/9/2013We appreciate your continued patronage and look forward to keeping you and your Jetta happy! Read more Just took my 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T Wagon to Pacific German. Sean was extremely thorough in his investigation and was very deliberate in actually showing/demonstrating his finds. The dealer somehow missed that my timing belt was about to die, but one look from Sean and even i could tell that the burn marks would soon give and destroy my engine... I had a lot of work done but they were incredibly generous in bundling labor. I will definitely be returning for anything i need done on my car and will recommend them to anyone driving a VW or Audi. Did i mention the warranty on his work is better than the dealer's? Read more

had owners son Taylor change my 2012 golf R oil this morning, his knowledge and services i gave two thumbs UP!!! definitely coming back in the future for anything i need to do with my R

I am very meticulous about who works on my car. I was referred to these guys from one of my coworkers. I had my suspension installed and a revo stage 1 chip done here. The shop is immaculate and the employees are knowledgeable and professional. Not to mention they offer a wide assortment of OE replacment performance accessories. If you own a VW or Audi there really isn't any reason to take your vehicle elsewhere. Comment from Shawn S. of Pacific German Business Owner 1/8/2013Thank you so much for your great review. We look forward to servicing your vehicle in the future! Read more

1 photo 38 check-ins 5 star service, 5 star rating! Shawn runs a great shop here, and their attention to detail is simply phenomenal. Whether your in for "standard" service as cheaper alternative to the dealer, or some goodie-goodie go-fast modding , you can pretty much guarantee it will be done right. Great work, Great shop!!!! My GTI is very, very happy and so am I . Comment from Shawn S. of Pacific German Business Owner 2/9/2013We are glad to have made you and your GTI very happy! Thanks for the great review! Read more

I moved to SoCal from Seattle with my VW R32. It's not a run of the mill car, it's nothing like a stock car. Most shops run away. These guys stepped up and had no issues working on a modified car. Their customer service and timeliness of repairs its amazing. They worked with me to bundle multiple small things to save me time and money. Will be going back, and have referred several friends to them as well.

Great place. Came here to get my suspension done on my a4. Promised time was decent and work done was excellent, its been a month and car feels great. Price is fair and the owner's sons who worked on my car were very nice (owner was busy i guess, he doesn't seem that nice though). That said, I'll come back for more work and maybe a REVO flash!!! Highly recommended.
