This company is a class act! Our Volvo broke down and it was towed to Valley West Autohaus. Although, they were fully booked for two weeks, Samantha (I hope thats the correct womans name) took the time to investigate the problem. She went as far as writing down the issue she thought it was for the dealership. All this when they were paving their lot on the weekend and offered to let us keep the car there and didnt charge us for anything! Thank you so much! I would never take my car anywhere else!

Great service. They took me in really quick to program my new injectors on my sprinter. They also adviced me on stuff to be careful on my engine. Really happy to find someone that knows sprinter, specially on the island.

Inquired about work done for my M class SUV but I never heard back at all after I was told they would contact me the next day. Seems they didn't want the business, therefore, I'll take it elsewhere.

Wow, what a knowledgeable, and honest team here. They truly care for your vehicle and want to make sure it's well taken care of. I have never brought my BMW anywhere other than to a BMW dealership for servicing, but now that I've found these guys, I know where my BMW will be going in future. My impression is they are very trustworthy people. I'm truly impressed with these guys.

Excellent service. Fair price. Im always a bit sceptical trying out a new place to service my wifes Audi TT. Roger was fair, honest and professional. One of the brake callipers stuck while in storage. They inspected, serviced and told us no new parts needed. Just found our new Mechanic. Thanks.

First visit to meet the Autohaus team. Had my spring oil change done in my Crossfire SRT6. Very knowledgeable and professional. They were highly recommended to me by friends that bring their vehicles to them. Thanks Valley West Autohaus

We have used these guys a few times over the years, which in itself is a good recommendation. They have been polite, reliable, fair and honest, and work has been to a high standard and in a timely manner. Clear billing makes it reasonably easy for people with little knowledge of autos to understand what work has been done, and why.
