Summary: I brought my 2005 Mini..

Review: I brought my 2005 Mini Cooper into German Auto Sport on 8/3/15 because my battery light went on. I thought it would be a quick battery replacement, and then I'd be on my way.Unfortunately for me, the alternator went out, and I was running off of the battery. Fortunately for me, I'd brought my car to the right place. In 10 minutes, Chris had diagnosed while I was waiting, and we got some paperwork going. Chris had Zack drive me to Enterprise up San Pablo Ave., and within half an hour, I was on my way. He even got me a discounted rate for my rental car.I was able to pick up my car the next day, and Chris kept the shop open a few minutes after closing because he knew I'd be in to pick up my car but wasn't able to make it in before 6.Two weeks later, this past Sunday, I was driving home, and my car went into limp mode and the service engine light went on. I brought her back to German Auto Sport yesterday, and Chris once again took care of me right away. The engine codes read some shorts in my engine fan and alternator.I just spoke to Chris (who is very communicative and super-responsive to calls and emails), and sure enough, the alternator that came from the manufacturer is bad. Chris is replacing it again for me at no charge, and he is even taking care of my rental while they have my Mini. The new alternator has already been ordered, and I'll get my car back tomorrow.I can't say enough good things about German Auto Sport. Chris takes the time to explain exactly what is going on, and why they recommend the work they do. This is the first repair shop where I haven't been talked down to, and that's important to me (just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I don't know car stuff). Chris is honest, and taking care of his customers is important to him.I highly recommend German Auto Sport for Mini repairs. I won't be taking my car anywhere else.
