About German Auto Repair
Nearly six decades of European auto care in Fresno, still run like a family business — because it is one.
Since 1967
German Auto Repair was founded in 1967 by a first-generation immigrant from Germany. In 1989, ownership passed to Dennis Montalbano, and the shop has remained family-owned and operated ever since.
When the Bosch automotive training program launched in the early 1980s, Dennis and longtime coworker Steve took the opportunity to learn the craft directly from the manufacturer. Both have been Bosch 5-Star graduates ever since — and today, every technician at German Auto Repair is Bosch certified.
Why we're here
Our mission is to provide professional service to the European vehicle community of Fresno, and to everyone who seeks high-quality, honest automotive care.
How we treat you
At German Auto Repair, we see ourselves as a family. We take care of our own — and once you've gotten quality service through us, we consider you part of that family. Come get the respect and attention your car, and you, deserve.
