Your Trusted German Vehicle and General Automotive Service Center 

What Makes Germantech NW Different from Other Salem Auto Repair Shops 

Germantech NW is Salem’s premier automotive service center, founded in 2018 by Stefan Rutschmann after witnessing the frustrations of commercial vehicle owners waiting weeks for quality repairs. What began as a service trailer setup to help fleet operators keep their Sprinter vans on the road has turned into a full-service facility at 8820 Aumsville Hwy SE Salem, Oregon 97317 that combines specialized German vehicle expertise with comprehensive general automotive repair. Our commitment to rapid, professional service means your BMW, Mercedes, Sprinter van, or any other vehicle receives the attention it deserves without the lengthy delays common at dealerships. We understand that your vehicle is essential to your daily life and business operations, which is why we focus on efficient diagnostics and quality repairs that keep you moving forward. Our ASE-certified technicians utilize the latest diagnostic equipment to accurately identify issues with everything from complex BMW VANOS systems to Mercedes AIRMATIC suspension components. Whether you drive a luxury German sedan or a reliable domestic truck, our team has the expertise and equipment to handle your automotive needs with precision and care.

Kind Words From Our Customers

Had a fantastic experience here! My Subaru Outback was having some high pitched squealing noise any time I was going slower and turning. I first tried another mechanic and they could not diagnose the issue and gave up. Next I brought my car to German Tech. They were quick to fit me in their busy schedule. Once the car was in, he was able to diagnose the problem right away and got it fixed up the same day. Outstanding customer service, and very fair priced. I will be coming back here in the fu

“Took my car in for a diagnostic, and they provided a detailed list of suggestions and costs in a timely manner. Their quote was fair and they didn’t try to push unnecessary repairs, which I highly appreciate”. Great place to have your car serviced ☆☆☆☆☆

Gary Brown

After being told by one shop that I needed an entire new turbo, I asked a friend of mine to look at my Mercedes Benz and he told me I did not need that but likely a part within the turbo. My husband found Stephen online and we decided to see if he could fix it. While the other place had my car for over a week, at GermanTech NW, they diagnosed and fixed my car in three days! She runs like the day I got her! The thing I appreciate the most was the communication and honesty which can be far and few

There are not enough words of praise in the dictionary to describe my experience at GermanTech. Stefan and his staff treat you and your vehicle with the utmost respect and care. I purchased a vehicle for my daughter that became every parent’s nightmare, if it wasn’t for Stefan, I would have junked it, but now it’s a reliable vehicle I know will keep my child safe for years. Thank you for everything Stefan and staff, I’d give you 100 stars if I could!!!

Andrea Long

After a frustrating experience with the Audi dealer regarding the AdBlue fault repair on my 2012 Audi Q7 TDI, which remained unresolved despite spending a significant amount of money, I sought an alternative solution. I found Stefan at GermanTech NW, who was able to schedule an appointment for me just a few days later. He fixed the fault in one day. Stefan is extremely knowledgeable, with decades of experience. He is honest and charges a fair rate for his services. I highly recommend this shop f

Craig Wilmes

I don’t even know where to start with this review. I think it is safe to say that it is incredibly difficult to find a shop that you can honestly trust to listen to your needs, to know your car (especially if it is a European model, sports care, a not very common car, etc.), to take the time to properly diagnose a problem, to be friendly, and to be professional and fair with pricing. This is how rare it is: I generally drive my cars 18 hours to a shop in Los Angeles that I really trust, or I shi
