all the 5 star reviews are fake. each 5 star review are from bots or their own employees lol. all the negative reviews are from legit customers. do not trust this place. listed or stated mileage is never accurate. they sold me an engine that was exposed to water possibly a junkyard engine and had heavy rust on the cams...

Running a successful auto shop, I try to find cost effective options for our clients and places like this are the reason I cannot recommend used part companies. Scam artists and liars- no website, no email. I get it, its a used part, its always a risk, and they are not legally obligated to refund or even replace. That is the truth. The issue here is that they guaranteed us they ran this transmission to ensure it was operable….. ill let the pictures speak for themselves. When we received the transmission we removed the pan to inspect, found metal debris and have been trying for three weeks to get a replacement transmission, and asked to get pictures first to ensure it was a quality transmission. Left with no choice, we disassembled the transmission to find this mess.

Recommend these guys for anything. They've helped me several times but this time I had to leave a review. I bought a Sienna Transmission for my family van and it worked great. Thank you so much guys!

About a month a ago my Infiniti G35 started knocking so I called a couple places to inquire about a VQ35DE, luckily for me the guys at German, Korean, and Japanese auto parts were able to help me with that, not only that they also gave me a pretty competitive price compared to other places. They have amazing customer service, especially Gerardo, I will be going with these guys in the future as well as recommend them to all my friends and family! Now my G is back to normal and better than ever!!

Exceptional service, top-shelf and high-end parts. My vettes engine failed on a hot track day due to a faulty thermostat. After looking around for about 2 months, I finally decided to purchase a engine off a vette they had with only 30k miles. Ben showed me the vehicle and allowed me to hear the engine before it was removed, no other yard allowed this. The engine was removed and delivered on time. My mechanic was very pleased with the engine and most important I am extremely happy with the car running again. Today I came over for a door panel for the same car. Always have a great experience working with the staff here. Very knowledgable and the prices are great. They have exactly what I need and inventory many parts across different car manufacturers. Recommended!!

I purchased a used 70k transmission expecting to get a stock transmission. What I got was a clearly rebuilt transmission and was charged 30% restocking plus $369 shipping 2x. Unacceptable.

Absolutely junk place with liars. Ordered engine from these guys, they told me, that I ordered transmission like idiot, spoke with Ben. When the driver called, he said that he arrived at the shop with a parts, but there was no one near the shop. Looks like a Joke

We been doing business with German for years and years. Lotus auto repair, Ivan and Ben are top dawgs on the business. Killer deals on motors and transmissions, a pleasure to come to HB and see my dawgs every time

If I could give zero negative review> rip off they send you bad transmissions and they wait to answer you until after the warranty expires so they tell you to bad is out of warranty. worst customer service, rude unprofessional personnel. they took my core and claimed never did. drivers accepted that he took it and Ben manager said they never received it

Horrible rude people lie about pricing and stock making myself and my company look bad, my client took off work today because we were supposed to pick up a transmission from him today. Edit: guy called me to tell to be a man? And to check reviews for my company threatening to leave a bad review or something. Im posing a picture of a text a received from the owner person right after leaving my review.

My friends at German hooked me up with a great working engine for my 5.0 mustang 2 years ago. This time I came back for an engine for my Hyundai Tucson and also super good. Excellent customer service and super nice people. I always tell my friends to shop here. Thank you so much guys you help me to get my car back on the road.

I usually don’t do reviews, but I was impressed with the quality and service from this place. Ordered a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta transmission for my wife’s vehicle, the transmission arrived in excellent shape, we did not even have to drain the old fluid, no half way cut wiring, no broken parts. My mechanic installed the transmission without any kind of issues, now my wife’s car runs better than ever. We never noticed how much difference a 30k miles transmission could do on a vehicle with 120k miles. I’d like to express my gratitude towards everyone at German Korean auto. They made the process easy and smooth.

All these good reviews, unfortunate to be the one to receive bad service. I purchased a bad part and discovered how they feel about the warranty. They even refused to speak to the mechanic regarding the issue with the part. I have been purchasing engines and other parts for years from the parts group they belong to. First time I have had this issue. Part clearly wasn't inspected or tested before leaving. Not a huge deal, junk cars are cheap. Not hard to stand behind your promise and replace the non functional part. So you would think. If you choose to purchase from this dismantler, consult your magic eightball first. It's literally gambling your money 🤑

Avoid like the PLAGUE. I explicitly chose to buy a new engine from them because of their good reviews and a 60 day warranty. I had the new engine installed with all new fittings, drove 5 miles, and a check engine light came on. My mechanic pulled the engine code and started trying to solve it. First by swapping the engine sensor with my original one. When they looked at the sensor, a bolt broke off. They had to drill it out, tried my sensor, same code. Then swapped with my variable actuator, still the same code. So it's a problem internal to the engine. My mechanic and I called this establishment, and they tried to that they'd have a third party inspector review the engine but would not accept the motor back because "your mechanic damaged the engine" citing the broken sensor bolt which ARRIVED that way and COULD NOT CAUSE THE ERROR CODE. And is also ALREADY ADDRESSED leaving the engine in the same working condition as received. AND they wouldn't take it back because they swapped out with new fittings. Plus I come to find out that the "60 day warranty" is 30 days. That's the reason why I selected them in the first place. They're refusing to vouch for their part quality, will not listen to any reasons why this solved bolt isn't damaged, talk over you during calls, and are using every opportunity to avoid fixing the problem they gave me saying I'm not a mechanic and my mechanic is terrible. This has been an absolute nightmare. I need this engine because Firestone ran it without oil, and now I have to deal with yet another company trying to put their problems on the consumer.

This team sold me an awesome BMW 535i Twin Turbo engine at a great price. The quality and condition of the engine was excellent. The price was significantly better than anyone in the USA. I checked many places and no one could have given me a better engine or a better deal. I installed engine and it ran great on first try. Instantly passed smog with great readings. Thank you to Nader, Ivan, and one young guy that I did not catch his name.

After I wasted my time with another shop, these guys really took care of me! My Camry is now running better than ever thanks to the engine Ivan sent for me. Thank you!

This place wasn’t honest about the used engines they sell. We purchase a used engine “with low mileage” and before installing it we performed a cylinder leak test and it failed. They agreed to send another engine and that engine also failed. They now they won’t give us a full refund and want to charge us 30% of the total amount paid. It’s only been a few days since we have paid and haven’t even install any of the engines yet.

I’m giving these guys a deserving zero-star rating, horrendous customer service and people skills, three times transmission we received was no good, paid $1,500 in good faith only to be treated like garbage when we mentioned the problem to the associates, left numerous messages to the owner who never called back, conversations over the phone were unpleasant and unprofessional..almost like we owed them those $1,500. A 30% restocking fee and shop credit?! Are you kidding me.. NO THANK YOU! Never again will I do business with you!

The staff is very respectful and very helpful. They were able to handle 4 customers at the same time between 2 counterman. While I was waiting, I was offered refreshments. I’m here for a jaguar motor, I saw the motor online and it looks just as advertised. Unfortunately, the engine did not fit in the back of my Tahoe, but I got a free delivery from them for Monday. This auto parts rocks !!

I’m very satisfied with the engine and transmisión combo I purchased from German Auto. Originally, I over revved my motor and destroyed the complete drivetrain. I saw the car at their location and I ordered the engine and gear box on Monday and they delivered as promised on Wednesday. After the install was done, the engine had no leaks or any kind of issues. I found them through car-part.com. Parts were clean, customer service was excellent.

Excellent service, completely satisfied. This is the second time we order an engine from this place. Both times the motors have been just great. Prices are more than fair compared to most shops here in SoCal. Delivery was fast.

Gerardo and the team are great! I came in looking for some replacement parts for my BMW and Gerardo was extremely helpful. Very knowledgeable of his inventory, excellent communication and was able to get my parts taken care of quickly and efficiently. I've recommended a handful of friends to come here and have had similar experiences. Hard to get good customer service these days, but Gerardo delivered! This is my first Google review but these guys were worth it.

Ordered a 2009 mini cooper JCW engine from these people. The VIN they sent us was to a 2009 mini cooper JCW 6 speed manual with 50k miles. We are in Virginia and ordered all the way from California because it was the only engine we could find. When the engine arrived we thought it looks good, so we accepted it. When the time came to put it in we saw it had an automatic flywheel instead of the manual one. If you didn’t know, JCW models didn’t come in automatic at the time. We call them to ask what was going on, they told us “they swap the dual mass flywheel for an automatic one to prevent damage and we can sell the dual mass flywheel separately.” That’s a load of bull because the flywheel has no evidence of being taken off. We check the engine code on there and compared it to the numbers in the owners manual and the engine is from a cooper S, NOT a JCW! We call back asking for a refund and they said they will refund it when they receive the engine after WE pay for the shipping. That’s not happening because they could just claim we sent the wrong engine and keep the money along with the engine. Please do not buy from these scammers. We are currently going through with a charge back on this fraudulent business

Trustworthy people. They're also really helpful and honest. I've shopped here at least 6 times and I never had an issue with them. Last time they sold me a radio for my Mercedes and it started giving me problems after the warranty was due but they exchanged it and offered to install it anyways. Excellent people.

To Summarize - BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Gerardo will go above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. I have messaged the business 4 hours after closing and gotten a response. Gerardo does his best to make sure that the parts I want will actually work for me and if I ever have an issue, he will find a way to make it right. I have been buying parts from Gerardo for over 2 years now. Everything from small trim pieces to engine and he has never disappointed. I have referred him to my repair shop who were buying parts elsewhere and now they will only do business with Gerardo. Gerardo and his team go out of their way to find the correct part and are extremely fair with pricing. I have never had to shop around for pricing because I know I am getting the best service in town. German & Korean will always be my first phone call if I or anybody I know need a part for their car.

Great customer service, very friendly environment. Iv been looking for parts for my BMW , no one really had it or it was very expensive. But German& Korean auto had many of the parts I was looking for and they gave me an amazing price. Great place to find parts for your car, “highly recommended”.

Will not buy from them again. Their customer service reps are very nice, but they tell you its one price then find out its actually more than what they quoted. Let me explain. I called for an engine and the initial pricing sounds good until they start hitting you with core fees and they quote shipping and its not anywhere close to what the shippers quote. I was quoted 300 max by the sales rep for shipping to VA and the shippers said it would be over 400.00 and if I needed a lift gate it would be even more. We are in VA and I am not shipping a core back to Cali. What was really upsetting was the shipping fees after the fact and being told that if we used the lift gate when it gets here we'd be charged extra. There is also a million things that have to be signed electronically and cant even get one of the items to open right now in email. The sales reps need to get with their shipping department when making quotes to give accurate pricing in the future.
