New German Performance in
Aberdeen (MD)

I’ve been taking my 2007 VW GLI to New German Performance in Aberdeen, MD for years, and I’m consistently impressed. They are incredibly thorough in their inspections and always provide detailed picture evidence to back up their findings. Despite my car being nearly 20 years old and heavily modified (Stage 2+), it feels stronger and more reliable than ever, thanks to their expert work. The team at New German Performance is not only knowledgeable but also skilled in welding and machining parts to ensure perfect fitment. Plus, their dyno allows them to measure and fine-tune your vehicle’s performance after any modifications. For anyone with a modified German car in Maryland, this is by far the best place to go!

I have been driving GTIs since 2003; they took great care of my 2003 MK4 VR6, and when I had to get my 2011 MK6 timing chain rebuilt and transmission replaced at the same time......they saved the day again. Great staff, they stick to the estimate and explain everything in detail. Every issue they found on my care was 100% accurate, and they do not try to bullshit you and add stuff to make money. Sure, they are 50 miles away, but they are the only competent VW mechanics I found in the Philadelphia area, even better and faster than any VW dealer, and most importantly, cheaper, and they have far better part selection too. As long as I live in the Phila area, this is my go-to VW mechanics.

Just purchased a “new to me” 2022 Audi S5. I took it to NGP for a post purchase inspection. They provided excellent feed back about the car and its need for some important servicing. They provided excellent feed timely and professional feedback and the atmosphere there is friendly and supportive. I look forward to continuing to have the car serviced there. Special thanks to Rob!

NGP is amazing. Not only are they friendly and professional but they are proficient. Every time I take my car here I’m pleasantly surprised. Also they are fair and not always trying to upsell you on some magic product to install in your car.

I’ve only ordered oil/maintenance parts from NGP but every order was followed up with fantastic customer service and recommendations. I’ve also recommended them to friends who have had similar experiences. Will be a lifetime customer!

Excellent friendly customer service & fast shipping of the products. We will definitely purchase from New German Performance - ngpracing. Highly Recommend!

Got a chance to speak with Charles over there who was extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time to help with some questions I had. A+ service and excited to get some parts here installed I ordered from them asap!

Not usually a review writer but these guys definitely deserve it. Came in right at open, 9am, and realized I made a mistake with my appointment. Wasn’t a problem for NGP, got straight to doing the work I had planned (Stage 1 APR tune, parts install) and were super upfront and knowledgeable about what they were doing. Pricing is reasonable and you don’t pay for anything you don’t want here. Car runs even better than I imagined, feels like I’m driving a whole new VW. These guys are the real deal for anything German.

This shop is incredibly knowledgeable about Golf R's and truly understands their products.

Chris the tech, was great. Great communication. Fought to get my warranty approved. Explained things well. They send pictures and explain the issues they find instead of just verbal.

Dave and his team of german car experts did a HELLAFIED (read a GREAT!!!) job of upgrading my 2011 audi S5 via an APR Stage 1 [91 octane] tune a few weeks ago. Can't tell what the exact net increase of HP and torque is but for the money, it certainly is worth the money!! I can definitely feel the difference! What i really like is their policy of being able to increase the HP and torque even more if I decide to change the octane rating from 91 to 93. Will cost me only one half hour of labor and zero software charges! These also took the time to answer all of my dumb questions and shared specifics about not only a possible ECU phase 2 tuning (costs, HW, etc) but also their services for upgrading the transmission abilities via a software upgrade! THESE GUYS ROCK!!!

My engine light was turning on and off randomly. I took it to the dealer who said they thought it was the timing chain, but would need to disassemble the engine to confirm, and the cost would be around $4000. My friend suggested New German Performance and I am so grateful he did. They confirmed it is the timing chain, and quoted me $2200 to fix it. Definitely worth the drive to Aberdeen!

Ordered product during their black Friday sale. Order went through just fine. I even got an order confirmation stating so, so I assumed all was well. I checked my email today (which I do not do on a regular basis) I noticed the order was cancelled. When I called, I was told the part was on back order and they tried to reach out via email to see if I still wanted the part, but since I didn’t respond to the email in time, they cancelled it. OF COURSE I WANTED THE PART, THAT’S WHY I BOUGHT IT. They then said we could re-process this payment with the exception that I would have to pay full price on this. So, being disappointed that I would now have to pay more money for something that I purchased on sale, and did not ask to be cancelled, I asked if they tried other forms of communication, as not everyone checks their emails all the time.I was told I was reached out to via a phone call. However, when I stated I have no calls from my records, there was silence, followed by a lecture of how email notifications work and how I should be checking them more often for big purchases. As a a business, if you classify this as a big purchase, wouldn’t you assume that you would try more than one way of communication to ensure your customers are aligned? Overall not satisfied with my experience with NGP.

NGP Consistently proves their top notch customer service and extensive vehicle knowledge. I’ve come to them for years for any aftermarket work on my Audi’s. After bringing them more than 10 different Audi models (hard to keep track after being a customer for 15 years), the result is always the same… perfection. They always go above and beyond to make sure I’m happy with the work they’ve done. Many times I’ve been in a bind at HPDE track events that they also attend and they’ve always taken care of any of my issues for a great price on site. Could not recommend NGP more for any aftermarket needs to your German vehicle. Hands down the best aftermarket German vehicle mechanics on the East coast.

Did some good work on my old 2001 beetle restoration project, looking forward to the next phases

Probably the best place to go for your car needs. They use genuine, OEM parts and do not uncharge. They get you in/out pretty quickly too and the most fair pricing you'll find. Good customer service as well. I drive an hour because they're that good- worth it.

Strongly recommend for anyone with a volkswagen. Went in thinking that my engine was completely dead and they had every opportunity to replace it but instead they diagnosed the problem and saved me thousands by not having to replace my engine. Very honest and professional and will definitely be my lifelong mechanic for any Volkswagen cars.

Been using them for service and to help me for parts for my Mk1's, Mk2's, Mk3's, Mk6 and various Audis over the years and even used them to buy parts. They are good guys and also into the cars so they understand if you have a car that may be a pita but you love it. They are still the same great company even as they have grown. My abused Audi A4 that I just bought is currently in getting work done. They are fair, detail estimates well and communicate good. If you have a German car it's a great place to go.

I recently acquired my 3rd Audi. All 3 of them go to New German Performance for service and performance upgrades since 2010. They've performed everything from routine maintenance and extensive repairs all the way to full performance modifications, and I have never had a comeback for anything. I highly recommend for Audi and Volkswagen owners that care to have their cars in good hands.

Can't say enough good things about this shop! I've been coming here for over 9 years and they've never let me down. Friendly service. Accommodating and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend NGP for all your German automotive needs!!!

Absolute go to place for a Vw or Audi owner! I would give them 10 stars if I could!! The guys are super knowledgeable and friendly! My Golf R needed a lot of repairs and the did very good work. Very easy to get a hold of and always keeping me up to speed on the status of my car... New German rocks!! 🔥 Thanks guys!

Update (3/8/23): I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Had an MBRP catback exhaust installed as well as a beautiful new set of APR AO1 wheels. Car sounds better than ever, the drive home was one of my favorite rides I've had with the car. Had an APR Intake system installed for my Mk8 GTI. After sending my initial email, Mike promptly responded and set up an appointment for me. The shop is very nice and well-kept, waiting for the installation was not an issue at all. Needless to say, I am very happy with the work New German Performance did for my GTI. They certainly made a returning customer out of me. I reccomend anyone with a VW or Audi to take advantage of their services.

There is no pressure to do anything nor buy anything. They have a project car that they were more than happy to show in 90+° weather without a guarantee I'd buy anything. The drive was 1hr and 15 min and worth every second. I'll be going back there, definitely for my next mod. I don't write detailed reviews but these guys are worth it. ...Went stage two today. Really liking the car. Just as before, I had a very good experience here. It's worth the drive even if it's just for an oil change. I've found a shop I trust and in the automotive industry this is invaluable. Thanks guys! Got stage two high torque and a BFI clutch. Again rapid excellent service. Gotta break in my clutch before finally enjoying the APR file. The only drawback is my wallet. Otherwise I'd live here! Had the NGP 1 coilovers installed to replace lowering springs. What a huge difference! Plus the car is even. The ride feels stock again till I lean on it. It's always a good experience here.

Always organized and professional. Had them flash a Haldex tune for my 2019 Golf R and was done within an hour.

I have had an absolutely stellar experience with this shop, they are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to make sure you understand everything being done to your vehicle. They are incredibly competitively priced, their lounge area is very clean and comfortable, you can tell this team is really passionate about what they do and it shows in their work. I won’t be taking my Audi anywhere else, so glad I brought my car here.

Since day one of stepping into the shop, me knowing nothing about German vehicles, helped me a lot. From my mk6 now to my mk7 they helped me understand my car more and help me with upgrades that get the job done and won't break the bank.

I want to thank New German Performance and Arno for taking care of my car and hooking me up. I’m loving this the flex fuel sensor and new turbo. Thank you NGP for the fantastic work and customer service!!!!!
