The guys at Garttmeyer are the most trust worthy mechanics I know. They have great knowledge about automobiles but explain it in laymen’s terms. I would highly recommend

Garttmeyer does everything right, the first time. There are many places that claim to provide the same service for cheaper, and trust me, I’ve tried them, but Garttmeyer’s quality of service is unmatched. You truly get what you pay for here. They are the only mechanics I truly trust with my car. (And did I mention they are fast? The turnaround time is quick no matter the size of the problem)

Car batteries are the strong, silent member of the automotive team. They do their job regardless of heat, cold weather and the drivers who demand so much of them. While a battery that allows a car start at the first turn of the key is a joyful thing, it doesn't last forever.

Can’t beat the service! 10/12/2020
Took my mother’s ‘99 E320 to Gerttmeyer’s for a window regulator replacement. They did it quick, clean and at a competitive price. Chris and Bob were very pleasant to deal with... a far cry from what you normally get at a dealership.
Thank you!

Nothing says movie nostalgia quite like the cars the characters drive, especially when the film involves racing of any kind. In many cases, these vehicles can become the visual icon for the entire film.

I once read that when a car enthusiast explains their love of cars to a “normal” person, it sounds the same as someone who really loved washing machines explaining their passion. If you envision someone going on about the perfect vintage Maytag, it does seem a touch tedious.
But that’s not really fair, is it? A washing machine doesn’t harness the power of explosions to take you to triple digit speeds.

They keep my baby humming! 03/04/2021
They are the best. No gotcha tactics. They give an honest appraisal up front and are willing to work with you to space costly repairs without risking safety. So far, and we are talking years, when they have repaired something on my car, it’s once and done—no bringing it back time after time to “fix the repair “. They are excellent mechanics and take pride in their work.

The staff at Garttmeyer are phenomenal. They were able to answer every question I had and provided even more info about the car. They were able to diagnose and fix the problem I had in a very timely manner. I will definitely be returning to them for my future needs.
From incredible mathematicians to engineers and fearless racecar drivers, their lives and stories are nothing short of inspiring.

Just had our Benz SUV for an oil change and mid year inspection. Guys at Garttmeyer picked up on a few things that needed repair and came up with a plan to keep her running like new. We got the car back & sure enough, it’s running smoother and has more punch, like it did coming off the show room. Thank you fellas!!
