Had a DSG service performed on my 2014 VW CC. They did a fantastic job, were quick, and the customer service was great. Highly reccomend!

Excellent Service!!! Today was my first experience at GPO. I’m a car enthusiast. I’m a driver. Porsche Macan Turbo is my daily ride. GPO was able to squeeze me in for a last minute oil change today - this is unheard of (unless you own a Honda and go to… Jiffy Lube).😖Savannah was exceptional!!! Best damn customer service I’ve had in a very long time!!! Give her a raise!!! 😁GPO is now my go-to!! Thanks everyone!See you in a few thousand mile. 😉

I had an unexpected cross country drive with a hard deadline to leave. They squeezed me in, assessed all that needed to be done, gave me a price, and got the work done. This is the second time they've worked on my car. They are great.

Cannot recommend this shop enough. They are fair and provide you with options, costs, and timelines for service needs. If there is an issue that occurs post-service, they look into it and correct it. An example of this is when I got the battery system for my BMW replaced, but after the service I still had an indicator for the battery. They diagnosed, checked, and corrected it in no time. Since the issue was a faulty replacement battery, they got a new one in for free. I have continued taking both vehicles here ever since.

I’ve worked in the car business for 6 years and decided to send my personal vehicle to the very best in the business! This shop specializes in German vehicle servicing, repairs, diagnostics, and tuning. I had my vehicle serviced with them and loved the experience! Top-notch service, very fast appointment booking, and they got my vehicle back to me within the day! If you’re on the fence about using this shop, go for it! I promise you will be a repeat customer for years to come!

I have a 2010 A5 and a 2011 S4 both well over 100k, I’ve taken both cars her to get my worked on and they’ve always take care of me and are very honest. From oil changes to timing chains, staging my A5, advice on what I should do etc. love this shop and the people.

Drove the 2 hour trip from Huntsville for assistance with a tune issue. They were all very helpful and informative. They ended up resolving the problem and I walked away a happy customer. I will gladly make the trek again if I ever come across any issues I can’t tackle myself. Overall, a really great experience and I highly recommend them!

I've gotten my Jetta Hybrid serviced here for years, and they've always been great! Not the cheapest place, but they're honest and up front about the costs and timeline. They've been getting busier this last year and harder to get in to (which is totally deserved but annoying lol), so schedule ahead!

My sister had her car worked on here. Great price and very efficient

Took my car in for an oil change and general inspection as it was getting up there in miles. They told me it would be half the cars value in repairs within the next 6 months. I offered to pay to have it all done then, as I can't be without a car. They instead explained to me that that wasn't in my best interest and recommended I sell the car due to the known transmission life expectancy.That means they turned down a large amount of money in order to make sure I made the right financial decision. They also did not charge me for the inspection where they found these issues - which was going to be about as much as the oil change.I'll be a lifelong customer.

Great service! They are very helpful and knowledgeable. They will work with you and will make sure to patiently answer all questions. I will only bring my Audi here from now on.

New to the VW tuning world.. Shaun was very helpful and informative and answered all my questions.. They did a lot of work on my Mk7 GTI this past week and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. Highly recommend and they have created a loyal customer out of me, will definitely use again.. Thanks GPO!!!

GPO took great care of my Jetta. Resolved the transmission fluid leak issue promptly. Super fast, super friendly, and super reliable service. A special big thanks to Shawn T. for making my first time experience with GPO a great one. Highly recommend this shop. Will be back soon.

Greg Stroud

Still providing great service 4 years after my first review.What an awesome experience! Here are some main points:Honest-You don't have to guess, "Is this work really necessary?"Price-I have found them to be about 20% less than the competition.Customer 1st-Willing to make suggestions/provide alternatives.Suggestions:Do give them ample time to work on your car, this isn't a 30 minute oil change place, they take time with each customer to educate and explain how things work. The only thing missing from their waiting room is a massage chair, plenty of refreshments too. If you dread taking your car in because of a hefty bill let GPO guide you through the options, what is needed now, what can wait and so on.

GPO is simply the best. I had some shaking on my Audi A4 and had no clue what it was. They checked it out, saw what it was and got it right the first time. Getting the job right the first time is key. They don't do any 'We'll try this and if it doesn't work we'll try that.' That's because they're very knowledgeable and have extensive experience. For you Audi owners, they're Audi certified. The quality of work at GPO is better than the dealer and at a cheaper price. I'd recommend GPO to anyone in need of repair or tuning, especially if you have a German car.

I had to get my wheels and tires swapped out at last minute. Even though GPO was busy at the time, they were able to take my car and return it within a couple of hours. On top of that everyone there was super friendly and courteous. I recommend GPO to everyone I talk to.

Jennifer Samardak

I let very few people work on my car, and after my experience at GPO, they are definitely added to the collection. Clean and professional shop. Courteous and knowledgeable staff. My car was well taken care of in an efficient and thorough manner. One of my wheels is damaged and they were able to get it balanced better than any other shop and I could not be more satisfied. My 2013 WRX is both a daily and my once a month rally car. I am looking forward to an alignment check and working with them to fix whatever I throw out of adjustment or break while tossing her around at the track.

Was referred to GPO by a friend of mine. Was told great things about there service, reliability and knowledge. Was very impressed and happy with the work performed on my car and will definitely be back for any other work I will need in the future. Do not waste your time with any other business.

I have been going to GPO for 2 years now and have nothing but good things to say. Sean and Jake at the front desk are honest and personable. They greet me by name when I walk in the door. The techs are Audi certified and you can tell they love what they do. Will continue to come here for years to come.

I am new to the Porsche family and just had my first experience with GPO. GPO came highly recommended from other local members of the Porsche family as well. Cody and Jake were great to work with, and made the process super easy. I will definitely continue to use GPO for future needs.

I had such a great experience. I have a 70's Super Beetle that needed some work done. When I found out that Nick was an air cooled mechanic I knew I found the right shop. He did excellent work, took his time, and made my bug run so well. I will definitely recommend them! Their pricing is fair and shop is clean. I have nothing negative to say.

Gabe King

04:01 07 Feb 20

Shawn and crew were wonderful to work with. I had quite a few things done being my first time and buying a used car, and I believed the price was reasonable and extremely happy with the service. More importantly though was the customer interaction. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and you could tell they car about their cars and their work. As a non-car guy it’s so important to trust your mechanic because I just have no knowledge and would have to go along with whatever they said, but you can tell immediately this group is trustworthy and want to do what’s right and best by you. They explained some options I had moving forward with tune ups and I will absolutely be back!

GPO is great. I've went to them twice now for my tuning options and they're awesome. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

Best Euro Performance tuning and basic maintenance shop in Nashville. If you love your vehicle and only want to give it the best treatment this is your one stop shop. Friendly atmosphere, APR certified shop with competitive prices on tunes, upgrades and maintenance services. I challenge you to take your car here for the next tune/ maintenance and you will be back again and again. Keep up the good work GPO!

When my car broke down I was very apprehensive about where to take it. After looking at the reviews of German Performance Options I decided to take it there. They did not disappoint. Cody was amazing and never to busy to answer any of my questions. He talked me through all my options and if I didn't understand something, he talked me through it until I did. I never felt pressured to buy something or to replace something that I didn't need and that was important to me. I was also surprised at how fast they were able to get me in and get my car fixed. Thank you very much German Performance Options.i will definatley be recommending your services in the future.

Shane Ayule

Jake is awesome and very personable and knowledgeable. Cody is always on point and very helpful. This place and these guys give you a familial feel definitely a must go to for all my European needs.

All the employees at this shop are courteous and professional. They provide all the information you need to make an informed decision about the repairs on your vehicle. They have always taken care of me when other shops could/would not and I have never had a negative experience after several visits. I will always use German Performance Options to work on my Audi and BMW.

EW Manley

AMAZING SERVICE AND AMAZING STAFF!I recently purchased a 33 year old Porsche 944. Unsure of when the timing belt was last replaced, I knew I’d need to bring the car in for service. Brian, Cody, and the rest of the staff there were very professional and courteous. Jay did a superb job diagnosing and doing the necessary repairs (I knew he had come from Music City P&A, so he had the expertise my vintage car required). I’ll definitely be bringing my car there for all future maintenance. I unreservedly recommend German Performance Options to anyone needing service for their Porsche.

Matt Gordon

I had GPO create and install a custom Stage 3 upgrade for my 2013 S8. Corey and the rest of the GPO team involved did an amazing job and I can't recommend them highly enough. My car is now substantially faster and more reliable thanks to GPO's knowledge of my car and its engine. If you want an alternative to the dealership for service or a unique opportunity to get your German car tuned professionally, this is the place to go in the Nashville area.

Richard Unknown

If the local shop can't fix it I will drive an hour to take my car to GPO. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent level of service, and at a great price compared to dealerships. I took my Audi in suspecting a bad controller and it turned out to be a broken wire. Their knowledge and honesty saved me hundreds of dollars. I have been there twice so far and I honestly don't think I have ever had a better experience with an automotive shop.

My Only Volkswagen Shop Period.I have worked with German Performance Options for 3 years now, and They are they only Shop I will let touch My 2 VW CC'sThey have fixed the Timing Chains in Both cars, Oil Changes and all general repairsBut Who they Are...

My first experience with GPO. It was top notch and very professional. Time was taken to explain the services performed. Recommendations were made on other service without any sales pressure. I will use GPO again.

Marc Ghafoori

19:58 19 May 18

Great experience here. Lots of stuff going wrong with my close to 10 year old Mini Countryman, took it to Firestone, and they kind of just scratched their heads at it after running diagnostics for 2 days. GPO knew exactly what was going on and got it purring like a cat in no time. I couldn't coordinate in person until pickup, and they were super accommodating via phone/drop-off.Couldn't recommend them more!

Hannah Selzer

17:25 19 May 18

Everyone here is genuinely awesome! They cared about my car just as much as I do! I definitely will come back forever!

Great service; really personable folks who really understand what they're doing. I have looked at so many different "foreign car expert" – many have no idea what they're doing. When it comes to the folks at German performance, I would never take my car anywhere else.

Joe Marler

18:02 13 Mar 18

Over the past seven years, I have had lots of maintenance and performance-related work done on my cars at GPO. It has always been a good experience. They are highly-skilled, knowledgeable about current products and technologies, and most importantly, they are honest and do excellent work. They never push me to buy products or services, but inform me of the options in an impartial manner. In one case a well-known aftermarket manufacturer made a design error in a suspension component. It would physically fit, but would not have been safe. Rather than hurredly bolt it in place to finish the job, the GPO technician carefully evaluated the mechanical clearance issue, realized the problem and called me. It’s possible his careful approach prevented a road accident.

Our Reviews

FANTASTIC! This was my first time taking my car for service outside of the Porsche dealership. These guys are fabulous. They could have charged me thousands but instead they researched and informed me of the issue giving me options. So refreshing as a woman to be able to go somewhere with my cats and not be taken advantage of. Thank you so much! You have my business! – Meshelle E.

I made an appointment with these guys after my dealership told me I was in need of new coolant even though I was almost positive I was not due for this service. Doug was kind enough to ease some of my concern by first testing my coolant with me there to see if it needed to be replaced before spending the money to fix it. Doug was incredibly genuine and polite. Even though they didn’t get the sale that day since my coolant was in fact in good shape, they seriously helped me out and saved me a solid chunk of change and I am very appreciative of that! This kind of business goes a long way and I will for sure be coming back to get future services done with them. Thank you again! – Reni C.

GPO is the best! Far and away the best customer service experience I’ve had at any repair shop, hands down. They are honest, timely and stand by their work (which is exceptional). If you give them the opportunity to earn your business, you won’t be disappointed. – Connor L.
