Fixing imports for over fifty years.

Austria Motors Imports is a family-owned auto repair shop at 8090 W Colfax Ave in Lakewood, Colorado, open since 1974. Mercedes-Benz is the specialty. The shop also services BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Subaru and domestic cars.

Customers stay a long time. One has brought cars here since 2000. Another was sent over by a different shop that couldn't fit them in. The reviews keep landing on the same points: the work gets done right, the explanation makes sense, and the price is fair.
