If you’re looking for a mechanic who truly knows what he’s doing, this is the guy. I brought in my 2014 Audi A8L 3.0T, which is not the easiest car to work on, and he handled everything perfectly. He replaced the front brake rotors, front and rear brake pads, brake pad wear sensor, front control arm bushings, belt tensioner, oil filter housing, and did an oil change.
The work was done professionally and the car feels amazing now — smooth, quiet, and drives like it should. You can immediately tell he has real experience working on European cars and understands them, not just guessing like a lot of shops do.
What impressed me the most is the attention to detail and the honesty. No unnecessary upsells, no cutting corners, just solid, high-quality work. If you want someone who actually understands cars and will take care of yours the right way, I highly recommend him.
This is a very good auto service. The people here truly know their work. I am satisfied with the service and highly recommend it. You can find real experience, integrity, and honesty here.
Ivan is Very Professional, Very Honest and Polite with my car to inspect my Wheels and suspension on my Italian car. Very responsible. Thank you for the Ride Home!
I was looking for a good auto repair shop and my friends recommended INTAKT as a trusted specialist. Before that, we visited other services where they tried to add unnecessary repairs costing thousands of dollars.
Here, everything was honest and simple — it turned out I only needed a thermostat replacement.
Thank you guys for your great work! The service is very clean, the atmosphere is comfortable, and they even offer coffee and coffee space to chill. Highly recommend!
I took my car in for an inspection because I thought I had bad wheel bearings. After properly diagnosing it, they found the real issue was a bad bearing in my transfer case. They explained everything clearly and replaced the transmission oil as well.
The owner, Ivan, was great — professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. I really appreciate how thorough they were. They didn’t just guess or throw parts at the problem; they took the time to properly diagnose it and fix it the right way.
I highly recommend INTAKT Auto Repair if you own a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, or really any vehicle. I’m beyond grateful for the service and so glad I came across them on Instagram. They definitely earned a loyal customer!

I brought my Audi A3 in for a transmission issue. Ivan was honest, professional, and took the time to properly diagnose the problem. He explained everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell unnecessary repairs. Highly recommend.
I came to Intakt from a google search in my area, I seen they had great reviews and that they work on foreign cars. Decided to bring my car here because it was leaking coolant. I spoke with Ivan told him the problem I was having, I brought my car in on Wednesday, Ivan told me the parts will be in next and could work on it Monday and get it done same day. Ivan was great, told me where the leak was coming from what parts were done in car. I am very happy with everything and will definitely be coming back when I need work done.
So far im impressed of his work. Prices are so competitive or should I say cheaper.. He knows his stuff. Thoroughly checks your vehicle and tells you if there is something wrong. I was in another shop which missed a lot of stuff. He fixed it and my car runs great. Felt like the car got refreshed. This is my second visit and would surely come back here. Im so happy I found this shop. I would like you to try this shop and you would not regret it Look for Ivan.
The owner was a great guy! He’ll explain to you what’s going on with your vehicle and won’t charge for extra unnecessary jobs. Very honest pricing! Highly recommend for Euro/MQB cars!
Took in my Lexus IS F for some sensor issues, the owner Ivan was incredibly transparent and communicative throughout the entire process, from diagnosing to sourcing the part needed for the repair, he kept me in the loop the whole time. His prices were extremely fair and his knowledge was extensive, I knew my baby was in good hands. I cannot stress how glad I am that I found this shop, I will be returning for every issue I have in the future. Couldn't reccomen them more! ⭐
Absolutely amazing experience. The quality of work here is top-tier I would choose this shop over any big-name brand any day. They are honest, transparent, and give fair, realistic quotes with no pressure or upselling. The work is done incredibly well and you can truly tell they care about doing things right, not just fast. It’s rare to find a shop you can fully trust, but this is one of them. I won’t go anywhere else!!!!
I found a large oil leak under my 2008 Odyssey with 250k miles and was sure I made my last trip in it. I saw Ads on Instagram from Ivan at Intakt and wanted to see if they could diagnose the issue and if it would even be worth fixing.
Ivan is very friendly and professional. Within 1 day the issue was diagnosed, repaired, and I was able to drive my van home. This is a trustworthy shop that I feel comfortable brining any of my vehicles to or recommending my family and friends to bring their vehicles there.
I bought an Audi A8L 2014 with the 3.0 TFSI engine, and it had a huge problem with oil consumption — it was burning about 3 quarts every 1,000 miles, which is insanely bad. After doing some research and talking with the guys at Intakt, they replaced the PCV valves and added a special cleaning solution into the cylinders to break down all the old, baked-on oil residue.
And guess what? The oil consumption completely disappeared! ??? The engine now runs perfectly smooth, no smoke, no burning oil — like a brand-new car.
A few weeks later, my wheel bearing failed, and of course I went straight back to Intakt. The job was done fast, clean, and professionally. While the dealer quoted me over $1500, Intakt did the same repair for less than a third of that, and the quality was top-notch.
These guys really know what they’re doing — honest, skilled, and efficient. I 100% recommend Intakt to anyone who wants dealership-level service without the crazy prices.
Very professional service from Ivan & his team. Had a rear main seal leak. Ivan got the car fixed & running back on the streets. I recommend for any European issues to be brought to him!
I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by Intakt Auto Repair! After spending two years and visiting three other shops in an attempt to resolve a complex issue with my Audi, the skilled technicians at Intakt were the only ones able to accurately diagnose and fix the problem. Their expertise in European vehicles is truly outstanding.
From start to finish, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and integrity. They communicated clearly throughout the process, explained their findings in detail, and ensured that the necessary repairs were completed to the highest standard. My Audi now performs flawlessly, and I have full confidence in the quality of their work. Intakt has definitely earned my trust and future business. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking expert auto repair service!

They repaired my Audi, and I couldn’t be happier with the service!
The work was done professionally and on time. What really stood out was the waiting area — super clean, comfortable, and even kid-friendly. I had my little one with me, and it was actually relaxing to wait while everything was taken care of. Highly recommend this body shop!

I had a great experience with this mechanic shop! They did a thorough inspection of my Audi q7 and were extremely professional and polite throughout the entire process. What I really appreciated is that they didn’t try to upsell or recommend unnecessary repairs—just honest advice and clear explanations. Their pricing was very reasonable too. It’s hard to find trustworthy mechanics these days, but this place definitely earned my trust. Highly recommend!
