Achtung! German Hag Works the Counter. – I was relieved to find a local shop that specializes in german cars to look at a couple problems I was having with my 2002 VW Golf. Unfortunately, when I walked into the shop there was no hi or hello, just a snarl of "what do you want?!" from the woman behind the front desk. I usually do all of the maintenance myself but for those jobs that I don't want to do or do not have the time to do I like to have a shop in mind where I can take the car. It's a shame too, as I was able to talk t... read more
Don't let the other reviews scare you. This place is top notch, they have the knowledge and experience that is key for any European repair shop. Terry is nice enough, and when I judge a repair shop, I consider the quality of the work, the pricing, and their honesty; all of which GMW exceeds in greatly. If what you really want is a friendly smiling face, try your local dealership... and pay a fortune. Trust me, GMW is fantastic and the only place in Pittsburgh to trust with your expensive foreign automobile.
Quick and Easy – Good stuff! Cool place and in the city! Getting a 20+ year old German car inspected can make anyone nervous but GMW was great. Inspection was quick and less than I expected! They had a couple recommendations, one of which I knew but the other I didn't catch but 100% agree with as it was something only people with experience in these cars would have known! I Will defintely go back to GMW. Hey, I will have my wife and child in this car to cruise in sometimes; I want to make sure this thing is safe and looked a... read more
Good, fair, thorough mechanic – I have a 1997 Jetta I got my e-brake cables replaced(1.5hr) + rear shoes(1hr), power steering hose replaced(1hr), and oil and filter. I brought my own parts + fluids with exception of brake shoes and steering fluid. Total price including taxes and shop fee $355. Not bad. Labor rate seems to be $65/hour. Parts don't seem to be marked up much if at all (brake shoes at least: $43 for full set). I had some of the internal panels disassembled to try and work on the brake cables myself, and they fix... read more
Enthusiast staff – I have had repeated good experiences here. I have a German car that is out of warranty (no more dealership people dressed like doctors) and getting along in mileage. I am always on the lookout for signs that my efforts to keep it in top shape and road worthy are reasonable in cost. I spent the time to learn about my car's mechanicals and I take care of things before they result in failures. Mechanics hate cars that are basket cases and their owners who only want item #1 (off a list of many) fixed, failing ... read more
Terry is so obnoxious – They charged me $100 to my brakes stop squeaking but it really didn't work. So I went back to them after a few weeks. Terry at the front desk is so extremely rude. She tried to avoid looking the brakes by giving random excuses including that two months had elapsed since they fixed it (she knew fully well that only a month had elapsed). But that's beside the point because they supposedly offer a 12 month warranty on services. They ultimately never did fix the squeak an that was money down the drain. Te... read more
Nice Experience – I had a very nice experience with GMWerks. The staff was kind and courteous, the work was done as promised, the price was fair. They found some defective work done by a previous shop, and encouraged me to go back to that shop to get the work repaired, and offered to help me with the appropriate documentation so that I would not be charged again. I was referred here by a friend who has used GMW for years, and has only had good experiences also.
Horrible experience ever! – I've got first inspection at GMW last year. I still can remember that how the staffs are rude and unmannered. Front desk woman was smoking heavily while she was talking to me. It was unpleasant!! Even one mechanic lied to me and charged unreasonably. I was upset but even embarrassed by the woman that she said "A s s hole" to me. I never had this kind of experience before for my entire life. I never heard from anyone that kind of word. Simply cannot believe that the woman's attitude. After the insp... read more
