Honest and Reliable - Never Had an Issue I've purchased 4 cars from Uwe - Mercedes 190, GL450 (a 2007 and a 2008), a Volkswagen Jetta Wagon, and I've consigned 1 (an E63 AMG). He is totally u I've purchased 4 cars from Uwe - Mercedes 190, GL450 (a 2007 and a 2008), a Volkswagen Jetta Wagon, and I've consigned 1 (an E63 AMG). He is totally upfront and has always stood behind what he sold. His service has always been what was needed without padding the bill. Have had major work done by their shop - they always use Mercedes OEM equipment (unless you ask for aftermarket) - and their labor rate is half of the dealership. I don't know who these people are who write these reviews, but in my experience both Uwe and his wife Gabrielle are top drawer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. More

Buyer beware This Husband and Wife duo are not honest, period. Once they have your $, they will not return phone calls or emails. Be VERY careful when dealing wi This Husband and Wife duo are not honest, period. Once they have your $, they will not return phone calls or emails. Be VERY careful when dealing with this dealership! What goes around, comes around, and I am sure, bad Karma is coming their way. Zero integrity. They don't even deserve one star. More

I had a very good experience buying a 2011 BMW from this dealership, he had a very good price listed on the internet and didn't tack on a bunch of fees and upcharges. He also made sure I got the best rate o dealership, he had a very good price listed on the internet and didn't tack on a bunch of fees and upcharges. He also made sure I got the best rate on my financing, as I came with a quote from BECU for 3.99% but he pulled Alaska Credit Union and School Employees Credit Union pricing to get me a better rate of 2.75%. I remained in contact with him throughout the buying process and it was easy to communicate what I wanted. As a buyer, I had a specific car in mind, and I wanted a good deal and to make sure there were no problems with the car or financing, and it went off without a hitch. More

Uwe is a liar and a cheat. He plays all the sales tricks and repair game to a tee. Believe this if you deal with this business you are definitely going to get screwed no Vaseline included. He and his wife a and repair game to a tee. Believe this if you deal with this business you are definitely going to get screwed no Vaseline included. He and his wife attempted to sale me a vehicle for 3,000.00 over the Kelley Blue Book maximum honest to God they did! I think he gets an orgasm out of it. Do not, I repeat do not do any business with this company because you are guaranteed to get screwed no compromise... More

We bought a 2008 Mercedes C-Class from European Motors earlier this year. Our experience has been very pleasant. As we decided on a make and model to buy, we stopped by and talked to the owner, Uwe, multi earlier this year. Our experience has been very pleasant. As we decided on a make and model to buy, we stopped by and talked to the owner, Uwe, multiple times and test drove several vehicles. What I really appreciated about the experience was their low-pressure approach to sales. Uwe gave us a lot of good advice along the way and didn't seem to get impatient with us during our repeated visits. I learned that he is a Mercedes-Benz factory-trained master technician who has been working on these cars for pretty much his entire life. I personally enjoy dealing not with some commissioned sales guy who wants to make a quick buck, but with the owner who actually knows these vehicles inside and out. Shortly after we bought the car, the check-engine light came on. We called Uwe and he was very helpful and told us to bring it back in so he could check it out. He read the error code, and as it turned out it was a minor issue that was covered under warranty. I know of other dealers who would have taken a "not my problem" attitude. I personally feel this business has high ethical standards, and when I checked them out I noticed that they have been in business since 1965 and have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. I will buy from European Motors again. More

I have been servicing a number of my Mercedes Benz vehicles (M-, S- and E-class) for over 5 years at European Motors and I am a very happy customer. It's an incredibly rare opportunity to deal with a vehicles (M-, S- and E-class) for over 5 years at European Motors and I am a very happy customer. It's an incredibly rare opportunity to deal with a Mercedes Benz Master Mechanic with over 20 years of experience in designing and testing MB cars in their HQ in Stuttgart, and now running a great business in Seattle. In addition to the good, reasonably priced (yes, I do shop around) service, I would also say that I am pleased with buying and trading cars at European Motors. More

I've been going to European Motors in Shoreline now for almost 3 years. My wife bought her first car (Landrover Discovery 2002) ever from here, and she received the best warm; cordial; no rush personal se almost 3 years. My wife bought her first car (Landrover Discovery 2002) ever from here, and she received the best warm; cordial; no rush personal service I've yet to see. Makes me wish I came here when I bought my first car. Uwe was great with my wife, and guided her thru no pressure whatsoever, and when I found out that they also had a shop that is qualified to do BMW diagnostic and repairs. After my Factory warranty was over, I was glad to give Uwe my business. So far in the past 3 years, I've had my car (BMW Z4, not purchased thru European) serviced 3 times. Each experience was quite pleasant, the work was explained in detail along with any options that were available to me, and the end cost was always reasonable and lower than other places I was quoted. It's been rare for me to run across a dealer that I would trust, and feel that they'd never take advantage of me. Uwe and Gabrielle at European Motors are such people. In fact, if it weren't for layoffs from WaMu/Chase where I was previously employed I would've already purchased a 3 or 5 series from European Motors. I will be continue to bring my trusty Z4 to European in the years to come. My two cents More

I have been doing business with European Motors at 16017 Aurora Ave. N, in Seattle(Shoreline), WA, for more than 15 years; first for repair work, and then later for the purchase of previously owned Mercedes Aurora Ave. N, in Seattle(Shoreline), WA, for more than 15 years; first for repair work, and then later for the purchase of previously owned Mercedes Benz’s (three!). European Motors has always given me full disclosure about what repairs are needed, or what they know about a car, and then stood behind their word and their work. On the rare occasion that I have had to return for continued sorting out of a problem after the initial repair, the work was done as soon as possible. There has never been any question as to whether or not they could handle the repair issue. Frequently, I have been advised as to less expensive options. I am a very satisfied customer and will continue to do business with European Motors. More
