I came in with an issue with my tail lights (running) . I have had 3 other mechanics look at the issue to no avail and within 30 minutes Kiro had it figured out and fixed. Highly recommend this shop for your automotive needs.

Kiro magic, this man has saved us thousands of dollars, I’ve gone to multiple shops to get my daughters car fixed, all shops kept saying 7k for catalytic system, Kiro found the issue fixed the car, my daughters Volvo running like clock work no issues. Freaking awesome

Kiro has been one of the best mechanics I’ve known. When I say best, I mean all around. Knowledge, timelines, price points and friendliness when explaining the process to fix your vehicle.
He built my dad’s dodge truck engine from the ground up.l and was very patient when I asked questions. He also did some major work to my wife’s Audi Q7 and BMW 435i Convertible. He always is upfront with the pricing and the timeline of how long he will have your vehicle.
Being a licensed, factory BMW mechanic in Germany, he is very comfortable working on all things German.
But can handle any foreign or domestic need. Make you next stop to take care of your Kiro’s Automotive.

Needed to have transmission maintenance done. They found an issue with a tire that would have been a big problem if unnoticed. Kiril was very professional and clear on estimate. O only wish I lived in the area as he would be my mechanic for everything at this point. You can tell he loves doing the work as a craft.

Kiro does excellent work, is 100% transparent and honest and offers a fair price. He’s an expert on all things German and has worked on two VW wagons for me quickly and efficiently. Definitely one of the best mechanics in town for your VW, BMW, Porsche, Audi service and repair. I can’t recommend this guy enough!

My Audi a4 broke down on the 154 and Kiro stayed open late to get my car into his shop. He diagnosed the issue realizing it was the spark plugs and fixed it the next day by 1pm. He is very knowledgeable and provides great customer service. He is very responsive and very flexible to fit the customers needs! He charges a very fair price. I will definently continue going to him for all my mechanical needs!
