European Auto Hause is an extraordinary gem located slightly off the beaten path (on Walnut St. in Pasadena, CA). I was fortunate enough to discover it when, after months of dedicated research, I came across the many lauded internet and hard copy reviews it so genuinely deserves. I'd had my first Audi (a 2001 Cabriolet), serviced for years, exclusively at Rusnak in Old Towne on Colorado. I was hoping to find an independent that could match the service but perhaps not quite the expense; a couple of mechanics maybe, who'd worked there (AT Rusnak), but had eventually decided to open their own shop. Enter Fares and Sean with European Auto Hause (aka Independent Audi & VW Services). The reviews were remarkable but the reality far exceeded my expectations. Initially, I had two cars shipped in from Chicago (an A3 and an S4). Paula was there for me every step of the way. Helpful, friendly and incomparably gracious, she accommodated my vexing need to reschedule THREE TIMES as the delivery company's truck driver was held over with hydraulic equipment issues. When the cars finally DID arrive. The entire team was there to greet the driver and assist with the debarkation of the vehicles. Both Sean and Fares were on hand to answer all my questions and were quick (in the days that followed), to get back to me with a complete breakdown of what would (and would not), need to be done with the cars. THEN about a month later, I brought in an A6 for inspection. Fares went above and beyond the call of duty and gave me sound advice which eventually lead to my negotiating an amazing deal and purchasing the car. European Auto Hause took it under their wing and got it " road ready" for me in record time. They did MORE than I had asked them to do and went out of their way to make the entire experience...legendary. I love these guys. I love this place. As the A3 was for my mom, I brought her in to meet them and it was apparent that she approved as well. Welcome to the family Sean, Fares, Paula (and the rest of the crew)! This is an honest shop, with good, hard working, top notch guys, excellent, fair prices and a forthright business & work ethic. If you own an Audi or a VW, their is simply no better place to bring your car. It's a perfect 10.
