Rialta owners, pay attention! We own a 1999 HD with 105,000 plus miles on it. We had a leak from our transmission that our regular mechanic (handles American and Asian cars) could not handle. After much searching (including the Rialta site), we came upon Affordable german, Bill the owner and Dan the number one mechanic/technician.Aside from fixing the transmission leak, we had them do preventive maintenance. They did the following for us:1. Back wheel bearings replacement.2. Replace sepentine belt and pulley system.3. Fixed the air suspension system.4. Replaced water pump.5. Fixed our spare tire cage.6. Identified a fan that was not working and fixed the problem.7. Fixed secondary air system.8. Replaced radiator fan resister.And many other minor things.They did a fantastic job in a short period of time and at a reasonable price. Honest! Reliable! Great communication! Could not ask for a better experience. And as a note to you all, Bill is also a Rialta owner. Who better to take care of your Rialta needs than someone in the know. I will use Affordable German for as long as I own a Rialta, which I hope to be a very long time.

Bill and his team did great work. My 2002 Rialta needed brakes and a tune up and it was done on time and for a fair price. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Seriously they're the best in the valley. He keeps it real with you about his time & is very friendly. Friendliness is helpful because alot of machanics can be disheartening. 10/10 recommend! I always come here

I was outside of Phoenix when I heard some noise coming from the front end of my 1989 westfalia. Bill was extremely busy, but when I described the noise to him he suggested I come in so that he could have a look. While up on the hoist he showed me what the problem was and fit me in the following week. All at a affordable price. If you are near Phoenix and need some work done, I highly recommend Affordable German.

This is the only shop in town that knows what they are doing with VW eurovans. My 2003 had a clock spring that VW doesn't make anymore, but they brought it back to life. And they found a new one somewhere in the US just in case they couldn't fix it, something that I had given up on. Going to be going back, that's for sure.

Bill and Daniel were super kind and knowledgeable about my 2002 VW Eurovan. The work they did and recommended was professional, high quality and affordable. They found hard to find parts for my van and installed them with care presenting the old parts they replaced to me. From one VW lover to another, I say thank you and I'll definitely use you folks again! Highly recommended.Services: Electrical

These guys are incredible & extremely knowledgeable. They were able to diagnose what was going on with my car in a matter of minutes of me pulling into their shop. Where a different shop quoted me 10k for a new engine (wasn’t an engine related problem).They’re super accommodating, super quick, and very kind. You can tell they really care about making their customers happy. Plus bonus points for adorable, very friendly rescue dogs.P.S: For ladies who are trying to find an honest shop, this is the one!

I first used Bill when he was working out of his home garage and he replaced the engine on my vw rabbit. I have been using and referring folks to Bill’s shop for 29 years. One time I had a VW van and it broke down in Odham AZ, which is in the middle of no where. Bill drove his personal vehicle there and fixed it for free because they had recently repaired that part of the van and it failed. Don’t know a soul on this planet that would do that!! He is honest, reliable, friendly and overall an amazing human. He is a straight shooter and knows his craft inside and out. He will not try to sell you on anything doesnt other than exactly what your car needs! Laslty, his prices are the best you will ever find!Services: Exhaust

Awesome place, great knowledge and ready to help out with any early VW parts or questions. We got the part for our MK1 that we couldn't find anywhere online. They have all the good parts... if they can find them ?

A friend of mine who is a Volkswagen mechanic recommended Affordable German.I called in advance, and asked if and when- they would be able to take my car?I explained the services I needed, and was given a quote.The quote was very fair and the waiting time for repairs was only two weeks, which is faster than most.Bill called me to let me know exactly what was wrong with my car and verify all of the work, before it was done.Bill is friendly, caring and understanding. (My first impression of him is that he is a wonderful human! )He did the repairs quickly. The overall price was even lower that the original quote. I saved a ton of savings, by coming here.I have been back on the road for three weeks now, with zero issues!I am very pleased. I cannot recommend Affordable German enough?✅?

They did a great job on my 1992 (MK2) Jetta. Rebuilt my gearbox, replaced my turn signal switch, and replaced the seat adjustment mechanism for the driver's seat. Very friendly, helpful, reasonably priced, and reasonable turnaround time. Highly recommend!

Name says German but they only service specific cars. They are also very particular. They wont diagnos a car that was purchased from an auction or from certain places. Ive tried to do business w them on multiple cases. Id recommend going elaewhere for the repairs. Its just not worth it. The overall service stinks and it wont take long for you to realize it.
