"Why Google can’t get this business move right is beyond me. How cruel to label a business as permanently closed when it has just moved. Shame on you Google. Thank you 101 European for continuing to be the place where I can get my old 928 serviced."

5-star review on Yelp by Mike R.

"First Class Place! Brought my newly acquired '91 Acura NSX in for an inspection by Technician Tyler. After accessing we decided not to do a major service, which would cost close to $5k. Tyler could have suggested to do, but after listening to engine and idle said car is Sound! What a Peace of Mind! Highly recommend to bring your car there for service!"

5-star review on Yelp by Karin B.

"I'm a retired, handicapped woman who drives a 24 year-old Saab. 101 European has taken care of my car for 10 years. The guys there make sure it's a safe and reliable ride. They explain what they need to do and why. I trust them wholeheartedly to do what's necessary and to let me know when it's time to let the car go."

5-star review on Yelp by Mike E.

"These guys are awesome. First time using them. Came in with a complex situation on my car that other mechanics couldn't fix. They jumped right on it and didnt give me any attitude like other shops might even though they are obviously very busy. Smirnoff is clearly a highly skilled mechanic with vast experience on higher end imports. I will definitely be coming back!"
