Reitmeir's Werkstatt Inc. — Local services in Los Altos

My family used to go to Joe Reitmeir (and his son Jeff) for my mom’s Mercedes and my dad’s BMW in the 90s and the early 2000s. I haven’t gone there till just recently as I just purchased an older Porsche. I am happy to see Jeff has taken over from Joe and he is exceptional! He has his son Curtis working there too. They were courteous and helped me with my Pre-Purchase Inspection which was pricey but they did a good job. I’d go here again.

Updating my review after getting my 80K service done in October 2024:

My family has been going to Reitmeir's Werkstatt since 1989 (mom and dad took their 1986 Mercedes 300E and 1989 BMW 735iL. I also took my Porsche 986 there for service for many years between 1998-2008. It has been a decade plus since I have used them. I recently bought a Porsche 997 and I wanted to take it to a place that was more affordable than the local dealer and someone whom I could trust for an 80,000 mile service. The quote I received from Reitmeier's was ~20% cheaper than the Porsche dealer which was good but their service was GREAT. Curtis and Kane spent time with me to explain what was off and needed help in the near term on my car. Kane went out of his way to look at an issue with my windshield and recommended some ways to fix it as well as an issue I have with my spoiler which he gave me a way to track down what could be wrong with it so they could fix it. I have to say I will be taking my Porsche 997 here from now and till I own it. I highly...

It was really hard for me to find an auto repair shop in Los Altos area that I could trust. These guys are truly the best in town!

I have had my yearly inspections done on my BMW here the last two years, and both times I was taken care of very quickly. Kane is a very smart and honest guy!

Today I brought my car in because my check engine light was on and my car was overheating. I took my car in because 3 shops told me I needed $2500 worth of work on my BMW replacing a water pump, thermostat. Sure enough I came here for an estimate and received the best news. Living in the Bay Area where everything is so expensive and you cant take a risk of any mechanic trying to sell you something you dont need all I have to say was that I had a good experience with these guys and hope you do too. They are very nice and proffesional. Kane and Jeff were also very responsive when I messaged the business asking if he could help me with the issue I was having.

Last, but not least, their prices are extremely fair and they do not try to up-sell.

I trust their work and I will definitely return if any other issues arise with my car in the future. (I'm moving to Tracy this Summer and might even consider driving to Los Altos if need be!!! Ha!)

This shop is situated within 1 minute of the heart of Downtown Los Altos. It’s very easy to find, with there being plenty of parking around the establishment! They specialize in automotive work on German cars, like BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, etc. You’ll recognize them by their plethora of German cars situated around.

I had called in on a Tuesday morning without an appointment to see if they could squeeze me in for an oil change + license plate attachment and they were able to with little to no hesitation! They listened to my requests with intent and were very kind. So incredibly nice, their whole team, and their work is honest and true. You can tell they value their work!

In the end they actually called me to inform that my car, in fact, did not need any servicing done to it right now and that they were able to attach my plates on. I wasn’t charged for anything, and they actually gave me their signature Reitmeir’s Werkstatt plate cover! It’s a very pretty chrome and fits very well with my car. It was such a nice surprise!

They took a lot of care into answering my calls and explained everything in detail. I’d 100000% come back to get any type of auto work done!! If anyone needs servicing on their car you should definitely try...
