After calling (and having my car serviced at) nearly every European mechanic in Utah, these guys are by far the best in multiple facets. Great communication, help you understand the severity of problems with your car, good listeners and problem solvers. Took my car in same day and got it fixed in under 4 hours. Every other shop told me they were backed out weeks on end to even look at the car, not even to repair it. Would go 6/5 stars if I could!

These guys are excellent especially if you need good solid advice and service on your European car. Sometimes after you leave the dealership and your warranty is gone, it can be very taxing there. So it's good to have a neighborhood mechanic that is trained and proficient in the field but not making you pay for a big expensive showroom. I thought my car was toast which made me sad but they were able to get it back going for what I thought was very reasonable. I can't say enough about how well they treated me. At least give them a look It might save you thousands of dollars

Once again, Werner's was able to accommodate my semi-urgent auto repair. They diagnosed the problem and let me know what the bottom line would be prior to starting the work.

This shop is hands down the best auto shop! We have a 2011 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 that needed a new glow plug module replaced. Long story short, turns out that the original module was replaced to 7v and we needed a 4.4v. Unfortunately, we were traveling from Reno and passing through Utah on our way to Michigan. We literally had one day to get the part and have it installed. I called many shops along our route and everyone was booked out for weeks.
When I called Tyler at Werners, he immediately started asking all the necessary questions to try to identify and resolve the issue. He was so patient and helpful. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to do the work but he talked to his crew and managed to get us an early appointment for the day we were gonna be in town, and managed to score timely delivery of the new part. I mean what amazing service. He really saved us and kept us on schedule. Thanks Tyler and the rest of the crew!
