I have been using Eastside European for years. Shane always knows how to fix what’s wrong with my car. He doesn’t do anything unless it’s necessary. And his prices are reasonable. I feel safe knowing if something comes up Shane can handle it. He’s the best mechanic I’ve had in all my years of driving.

I recently had my Mercedes-Benz SLK 250 serviced at Eastside European Auto Service and Repair, and I was very impressed with the experience.

The service was comprehensive, thorough, and completed to a very high standard. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was done properly. My SLK 250 was returned in excellent condition, and the attention to detail gave me confidence that the work had been carried out with care.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy independent specialist for a European vehicle, I would highly recommend Eastside European Auto Service and Repair.

I was scheduled for a roadtrip in my AMG C43 and started getting brake pad warnings. Even though I’d never been to Eastside European before, Shane had me drive out to the shop so he could verify; which he did in the parking lot. I left the car expecting to get it back late the next day assuming Mercedes even had the parts. By 5pm the same day I got a message that it was ready.
Needless to say I’m very impressed with the shop’s performance on all planes. Thanks Shane. I’ll be back for all my Mercedes services.

I had a great experience here this week! Professional, courteous, communicative. Needed my Mercedes GLE450 transmission service and they did a great job at a great priceand I was so happy that they could give me a loaner since it’s a lengthier service. I will now use them for all my service needs for my Mercedes…

I am so happy with the service. Eastside European Auto are the best. They carefully inspected my Mercedes SL500, knew where they have problems, made a list or things that have to be fixed urgently and recommended others to push out to a later time. They replaced motormounts, vent cover gaskets, spark plugs, changed oil and filters, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and a bunch other small parts.

The car drives like a dream and I am sure I paid a lot less than at a Mercedes Dealership. Gave me a bunch discounts too.
Got it back in 3 days. Trust me, you should check them out.

I went in for regular maintenance on my Volvo, but Shane, the owner, said they were fully booked. I tried another shop instead, which I regretted—they told me my battery needed replacement. I called Shane for a second opinion, and he was happy to test it at no charge.

It turns out my battery was healthy—the other shop had gotten a wrong reading by testing from the front hood instead of the rear. Thanks to Shane, I avoided replacing a perfectly good battery.

Even though I didn’t get the maintenance service this time, Shane’s honesty and reliability really stood out. I would definitely recommend this shop to others.

Needed lube, oil and filter service plus light for low coolant service came up. Met with Shane /Owner and discussed the service and concerns. He promptly gave written estimate for the lube & oil change and indicted he will provide a written estimate of all the required work after he is able to diagnose- after full and thorough inspection. The work estimate was detailed, with parts and labor costs clearly identified and easy to understand- for immediate work needed and which may be deferred. Shane was very professional and knowledgeable which provided confidence and comfort that the job will be done correctly, with genuine parts in a timely manner. The service levels were above our expectations, and we have become loyal clients of Eastside European Auto Service.

They know Smart Cars well and are the reason I go to my mechanic for an oil change. Know what to look for and look out for. Great maintenance team. Always ahead of the game.

Update. Just got a used Audi. First place I went was to Shane and crew. As always. They took care of me quickly and effectively. Am now comfortable that my used car in a reliable car.

Honesty and integrity top of my list

I cannot recommend Shane at Eastside European Auto enough! Volvo quoted me nearly $3,000 in repairs, so on a whim I did a quick Google search and found Shane—and I’m so grateful I did. He was incredibly honest from the start. He discovered that a service I had done in 2024 hadn’t been recorded in Carfax, and he let me know that one of the “critical” items Volvo listed didn’t actually need to be done for another year. He saved me hundreds on that service alone and when I called Volvo they acknowledged that they made a mistake.
In the end, I paid less than half of what I would’ve paid at the dealership. At checkout, Shane even walked me through what would need attention a year from now. His transparency and respect stood out—he never talked down to me or treated me like I didn’t know anything, which has not always been my experience elsewhere as a woman bringing my vehicle in for service.
I won’t take my European car anywhere but to Shane going forward. If you want honesty, fair pricing, and exceptional service call Shane.

This place is a gem! The owner is professional, honest and the best in the business! I recently took my car to another shop for an oil change and service, the mechanic there quoted me $5k for some work that needed to be done. The car was driving fine so I was very surprised that it needed work done. I then called Eastside European for another quote, the owner gave me an estimate of $1.8k over the phone for the same work. But when I brought my car to their shop, he took a good look at it and told me the car was perfectly fine and safe to drive! He explained to me how it’s well within the manufacturer’s parameters and even the brakes had another year and don’t need to be changed right now. He even cleaned the debris so I can see the top of the engine cleanly. Even their oil change is 35% cheaper than the other place I went. The owner then sent me away without charging me for anything! Their service was quick, no upsell, and very honest. I’m grateful for Eastside European for helping me dodged huge and unnecessary repairs. I will definitely be back for my next oil change and brake replacement.

I didn’t even have any work done by Shane but I just had to review and say he was a pleasure talking to!

I was looking to have a pre purchase inspection (but I already own the car lol) done on my C43 and he informed me he doesn’t do PPI but he could do an inspection.

I informed him where I got the car and he talked me through his experience with those cars and really set my mind at ease without even selling me on anything.

Just off that interaction alone I’d look to have any future work done by Shane and Eastside European!
