Marcus is a stand up guy! Very helpful and easy to work with. Doesn't pressure you into anything and just tells it how it is. Very unique for a car dealer to be honest and not out there to just take your money. Way to go Marcus!

I was quoted over $3,000 at VW of Salem and took my car to German Motors of Salem for a 2nd opinion. Mike and Aaron are who I dealt with mostly and was treated wonderfully! Not only was I treated wonderfully, they also confirmed that the repairs I was originally told I needed to make to my care were NOT at all necessary. I have found the place I will be taking my car so long as I own her and live in Salem! Highly HIGHLY recommend this shop. Honest, forthright, efficient, no bologna! If I could give 10-stars I would!!!

Mike and the guys at German Motors has helped me over the last 6 years with my VW Beetle -- only place I'll take her! The guys are genuine, friendly (in a real manner, not a fake, "They're paying me to say this because it's considered good customer service" kind of way) and very helpful in solving problems. His recommendations are reasonable and helpful, and they've helped solve a problem with creativity to arrive at a good solution at a reasoanble price. If anything ever wasn't right, I'd go back and ask them to revisit it ... read more

Honest service I wanted to add a quick comment about my experience with German Motors. I brought my Eurovan to them and requested that they diagnose the drivability problem it had (stumbles badly at road speed). After they performed some of the requested diagnostics Mike explained that the vehicle may have some fairly serious issues. Knowing that I was expecting a relatively inexpensive solution to this problem, he suggested that I consider my options before having them do any more work. He was also very fair about the labor... read more

German Motors of Salem Is The Best My twin brother and I have owned nothing but Volkswagons since our first 1969 bug that we purchased in 1973. German Motors of Salem was recommended to us by a friend and multiple VW's later we have never gone anywhere else all these years. We dealt with Mike Leisten's father Rudy and his partner Fritz for many years until Mike purchased the business several years ago. German Motors has always done one fine job of "making our problems theirs" in regard to taking care of all of our needs, bum... read more

Don't Choose German Motors I took my first car, a 66 VW, to German Motors shortly after I got it for a fuel issue. The fuel issue cost about $50, so I decided to have a tune up done. During the tune-up Aaron or Mike found out that a gear oil leak had dripped on and ruined the brakes. After I got that fixed they called again to tell me the tune-up hadn't gone as nicely as they would have liked and that I needed a new carb. They wanted to charge me $260 for the carb alone not including $90/hr in labor. I went and picked up my ... read more

None Better. If you are the victim of mechanical failure of your German automobile, prepare to pay for owning the ultimate driving machine or one of its cousins. However, Mike at German Motors can ease the pain a little with his integrity and his experience. Next to the dealer (and in some cases, better than) German Motors is the best solution to German engineering failure.
