- CNChristine NounouteJan 5, 20265.0If you own a Volkswagen and you’re anywhere within a 2-hour radius of Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and skip the VW “stealerships.” Make the trip to German Sports — you will NOT regret it. As a woman with a VW, I’ve unfortunately dealt with my fair share of shady service experiences. I was ripped off by VW dealerships in Merced (where I lived) and Modesto, and another mom-and-pop repair shop finally recommended I call German Sports in Walnut Creek. I ended up having my car towed all the way from Merced to Walnut Creek, passing at least five VW dealerships on the way — best decision I’ve ever made. This shop is everything a reliable, honest VW repair shop should be. They are detail-oriented, transparent, and professional from start to finish. I received itemized receipts (which the dealerships REFUSED to give me) along with actual images of the damage and repairs so I knew exactly what I was paying for. No guessing. No games. No “mystery fees.” Unlike the dealerships that held my car hostage and ghosted me for over a month, German Sports gave me realistic timelines and explained any delays clearly. Communication was excellent — Hernan kept me updated every step of the way, and I even saw the owner, Sergio, personally working on my car after hours. That tells you everything you need to know about how much pride they take in their work. They treated me with respect, honesty, and patience, and I always felt informed and safe — which sadly isn’t always the case for women at repair shops. The workmanship, pricing, and customer service here are on another level. If you’re tired of getting overcharged for incomplete work at Central Valley VW dealerships (or anywhere else) — go to German Sports. It is 100% worth the drive. This is truly the best independent Volkswagen/German auto repair shop in the Bay Area, and honestly one of the best in California. Last time I visited, they mentioned plans to expand — and I genuinely hope they do, because shops like this are rare. Maybe one day they’ll be nationwide! If you value honesty, quality, transparency, and expertise with German cars — make the trip. German Sports has earned a lifelong customer.

The inspection procedure provides a roadmap for vehicle care and German Sport will advise on the immediate actions needed and suggest a timeline to keep your vehicle safe and up to par performance.
- GSGary SummersJul 29, 20255.0German Sport has taken care of numerous issues with my 1997 Eurovan. They really set the standard for customer focused professional service at a fair price. Finally a repair shop I can trust! I highly recommend them.
