Stratford Auto Repair

When I brought my BMW in for a standard service, the staff took care of everything promptly and expertly. Finding a place that truly understands BMWs inside and out is refreshing.

Desi Auto did an excellent job repairing the overheating issues on my '11 Porsche Panamera. My car was running low on coolant, and the reservoir was empty, indicating a significant leak. Josh correctly identified the issue, which required extensive work: removing the intake manifold to access and replace the leaking coolant pipe, and installing a new engine coolant bleed hose. He finished the job with fresh coolant/antifreeze. The work was complex, but he handled it professionally and effectively. My Porsche is running cool and reliable again. Seamless service from start to finish. Josh is the man!!

They efficiently removed and replaced the rear brakes and rotors using high-quality Zimmermann and Textar parts, including new sensors. The work was professional, precise, and my car stops perfectly now. (BMW 740i xDrive) Don't forget to use coupon from Desi's website!

I own a 18 C43 AMG and recently used Desi Auto for my scheduled service. The Benz-dealer had quoted me an astronomical $1,365 for the job (fluids, oil/filter change, tire/brake/wiper checks). Joshua completed the exact same service for only $173. The savings were substantial. The service was respectful and transparent. I felt completely confident leaving my vehicle in their hands. Unfortunately they're not open on Sundays, which is my day off!

I was concerned that fixing my Audi would be costly after it began to make odd noises. These guys identified the problem fast and fixed it without going over budget. I value their integrity and the caliber of the work they did on my Audi.

I’ve always chosen my car for the way it feels behind the wheel. My Audi A6, now approaching 10 years old with low mileage, recently developed a vibration, excessive cabin noise, and reduced braking performance. When I took it to the dealer, they insisted I needed an engine gasket replacement—quoted at $3,500. Instead, I brought the car to Desi. They quickly and correctly diagnosed the real issue, fully addressed it, and restored my A6 to the level of performance you’d expect from a German sedan. Judy was fantastic—she explained every detail clearly, offered sensible options, and made sure I understood the choices available. Today, the car drives like new. On top of that, Desi gave me an estimate for the gasket that was less than half the dealer’s price, and explained it was only a minor leak that didn’t require immediate attention. Thanks to Desi, I’m back to enjoying my car the way it was meant to be driven.

They promptly identified the cause of the odd engine noise my Mini was making. I felt comfortable driving it home after the repair was completed successfully. The service was pleasant and efficient.

I brought my Porsche here to fix an oil leak that another shop was unable to identify. These guys quickly identified the problem and successfully resolved it. Mechanics with such a thorough understanding of European engines are hard to come by. I'm overjoyed with the outcome.

My loyalty to an Atlantic City Mercedes dealership for 12 years was shattered after their last quote: over $6K in repairs on my 2005 E320, with the advice that the car "wasn't worth it." Ready to give up on my Benz, I sought a 2nd opinion at Desi Auto Care in Stratford. What happened next was unbelievable. Josh (the master technician) verified the actual problems and fixed my car for a total of $355.00. That's a savings of over $5,600! The difference in honesty and expertise is staggering. I only wish I had found them a decade ago!

Desi auto care performed a significant repair on my Porsche Boxster involving the transmission. Boxter presented with several fault codes (P0731, P1745, 1757, and P17F1), all pointing to complex internal transmission issues, including incorrect gear ratios and over-speed errors. The team successfully removed the faulty unit and installed a remanufactured transmission. Their specialized knowledge for the intricate Porsche drivetrain was apparent throughout the process. I recommend them for challenging transmission work.
