Autobahn and Anise Doski did a great job diagnosing and repairing my Tesla. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

After scouring the internet for a set of Porsche D90 wheels, I worked with Mike at Autobahn who was able to source the exact set I wanted, in the size I wanted. All the communication was quick, and SO helpful sending pictures of the wheels, and they showed up on my doorstep within the week -- I wish I could give this place 10 stars

Got a quote from a body shop that was $1,500 for a mirror cover replacement, the Deal quoted me >$1300. These guys shipped me a part in less than a week and it cost $85.

I just bought the deck lid from a Porsche 964 and it’s be my best experience ever. Mike is top notch. Excellent comms, prices and shipping. He’s currently parting out a 50,000 mile 964. You can’t go wrong with Mike, trust me.

I was very satisfied with Raul. He was respectful and polite and got the job done as soon as possible. The product was wrapped and boxed very well. If I need any more parts, I will be ordering from Auto bahn again

Mike was amazing. Excellent customer service. I just bought a hood and I drove 3 hours to get to El Cajon and the hood was totally cleaned and wrapped, ready to put it on my truck. This guy is an excellent seller and know how to treat clients. I recommend 200% to ask for Mike if you want to buy something from Autobahn.

If you own an older model Tesla, this spot is a must know. Raul took care of me from start to finish and was really accommodating. He helped save me more than $3K from what the Tesla service center quoted me. Just good vibes all around here. Honesty and integrity… not easy to find here and with limited used Tesla repair options in the county, it’s well worth the distance for me going to El Cajon from north county.

Big thanks to the Autobahn team and the owner John for the exceptional service with my Tesla! I first learned about Autobahn last fall 2022, and my only regret is I wish I found out about them sooner. Highly recommend for good service and good (fair) prices!

I have the pleasure of being a friend of John for more than 30 years. Your patronage at Autobahn is going to be rewarded with knowledge and professionalism. There is a sign there that says "Your wife called and she wants you to have the car of your dreams"....

John fixed a transmission problem on my BMW 528i that I spent about $2,500 with other shops trying to resolve. I was at my wit's end. Nobody could figure it out. John and his team were patient, professional, and took their time to isolate the problem and fix it for good. This shop is the real deal if you have a German car. They have the parts, the smarts, and the business end that makes for an excellent shop. They have my highest recommendation!

John took care of me today on a steering shaft for a E39. Shawn and John are awesome, great customer service and lots of parts on hand. I have been using them for many years and will continue to do so. 5 STARS!

I was departed. While installing my stereo system, I had removed the grid battery cable and then the moment of truth. All done except for reconnecting the ground cable, I heard 'snap' and got a spark. This was a touch the post, not putting it on. I quickly pulled it away, knowing what that sound was. Everyone says I must have hit the wrong terminal. I didn't. After 27 years in the new car dealership SERVICE depts as a service advisor, mechanic, and service manager, I know which cable is which, besides having installed Optima gel cells in this car for last 4 years, it's next to impossible to do. The battery was NOT removed, just the neg. cable. So, what happened after scanning for codes and going over everything to find out a fuse had blown up, and afterward, I had no accelerator, car would start and idle, but that's all. It turned out that the fuel pump relay, joined its relatives too. It controls a lot of things! So we drove over to autobahn dismantling , as they were the only ones to have this relay. The dealer didn't, and it's a common relay with 2 functions, only there is so much more it does, but not documented. So I paid, scooted home, plugged it in, and almost everything was as good as new. Now, for an unanswered question. How does a fuel pump relay for porsche 986's, 911's, etc. Make my passenger side window auto-drop when opening the door, start working? And where did the residual charge come from? Battery was disconnected for over 8 hours? Anyone care to advise? But, Autobahn Dismantling HAD the part at a very real bargin. They made my week! Plus, they're nice guys too.

BMW experts. Great work. Parts galore for fair price. Beats going to the junkyard or Pick-A-Part. Honest. Knowledgeable. Excellent service.

The shop sits back off the road, and the sign is hard to see. Knowledgeable staff, friendly service. I needed to repair the window on my BMW so I was looking for a regulator assembly with motor, and the

Great service ! I got some hard to find parts for my BMW 330CI at reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Give them a call!

Mike at Autobahn is the real deal. He knows his stuff, is honest about his products from top-to-bottom and shoots straight with what he can deliver. Communication in these types of orders is critical and Mike never once dropped the ball. I'm from Washington State and everything was handled seamlessly with these guys and the delivery of their parts. My 2013 Smart Car is now like new!! I have the utmost confidence referring anyone in the market for Smart, BMW or Porsche parts. Make sure to ask for Mike. Thanks again guys!!

Yeah, this place is awesome. I had the task of replacing my media screen on my 2013 model S (for screen leaking glue, common problem) so I called in to get a replacement. Henry was super-knowledgeable about all things Tesla, and even gave me a tutorial on how to replace the touch screen in a model S he was dismantling, and some things to watch out for. Overall saved about $1000 doing it myself, and it wasn't that hard because I had such a good idea of what to do thanks to Henry. I'll definitely be back when I need anything for my Tesla in the future!

The place to visit if you need used parts for a BMW. Excellent prices, way lower than could be found anywhere else. Knowledgeable staff. Convenient location, close to major freeways. Open Monday through Saturday. If you have a BMW -especially a used model, you should give them a call or stop by.

I own a 2015 Tesla Model S P85D and Henry at Autobahn Dismantling was able to ship me the part i needed for a very great price and in a timely manner. not only was he very helpful but he was also able to provide me with instructions on how to replace the part myself. I definitely recommend him and the company he represents for all of your Tesla needs.

Friendly people in sales and customer services and the likelihood of being able to have a test drive is not an issue of the cars available in their lot are of high quality and pass the above average standards

Very fair place to do business with. Usually have the parts when needed. If the parts are not available, they give the greatest advice on how to obtain. Always willing to help pursue the passion and enjoy the conversations with the guys. Going to add the fact that these guys know their parts. Just ask them.

John at Autobahn Dismantling has been taking good care of my 2002 BMW X5 (212K miles) for several years. John had a transmission replaced two years ago. Last week I heard a clank in the transmission area. At my age (73) I don't take chances. I shut the vehicle down and called John for another transmission. He checked his records and said the transmission did not have that many miles on it and thought it was not the transmission. He suggested I take the car to ATS Transmission & Auto Service on India Street in San Diego. I did and sure enough, the transmission was fine. The problem was worn steering control arm bushings. John is very honest and knows his business. Thanks John John M. Wilson

Flat tire so I picked up a spare tire for a SmarCar this weekend and everything went pretty smoothly. Glad these guys are around. They were pretty friendly. They have used parts for good price and even better if you bring cash. Old school mechanic shop meets bodega setup. Handling used parts and all, gotta remember to bring a rag or hand wipe next time. I will be coming to them next time I have a SmarCar part emergency.

UPDATE Just got the seat on my e39 fixed. The dealer wanted $1500 for a seat. AUTOBAHN price was under $250 and they guarantee the work. They will not sell you what won't fix your problem. These dudes are awesome! This is a shop for real mechanics. If you have an idea of what's wrong, they either have the part or know where to get it. Don't go here expecting a prissy little showcase of parts with high prices and attitude. They have racks, and racks of original BMW parts and knowlegeable mechanics that can help fix a problem, but you may have to wait your turn because they stay busy. They ship parts to you if needed via snail mail and Fed EX at reasonable rates. I have had several parts shipped to me in distant locations for less than I could have bought at the local yard and faster than a dealer could respond. The shop web presence does not do them justice. Sean and John are super courteous and so is the rest of the staff. They all drive fix and race BMWs so no matter what you need they probably have it.

Awesome place to buy all your used BMW parts. Extremely helpful staff, I was asked if I needed help by 5 different people, after I had already been helped. If they don't have the parts you need, you can fill a parts request online, and they will contact as soon as they come in. Great place! I will definitely be back
