"Hans and Michael have kept my 1997 Porsche 911 in top condition for seven years, and I know I can trust their expert advice. They always provide detailed explanations, with photos, of the work that my car needs, and options for how to address the aging of a 25-year old car. Every job they've done for me was performed correctly the first time. Hans and Michael bring a German professionalism to Houston that is rare and valuable to their customers."

"For more than twenty (20) years, TGA has performed all of the maintenance and upkeep on my 1995 Mercedes Benz E300D and my 1999 Mercedes Benz E300 Turbodiesel. Owner Hans Richter and his team of expert technicians, do outstanding work. I trust them completely. There are other repair shops near my home in The Woodlands TX but I simply would not trust any other repair shop to work in my classic cars. Whether my cars require extensive repair, routine maintenance, or just a simple oil change, Texas German Auto Haus will get the call. If you are looking for an exceptional maintenance shop to work on your Mercedes Benz, Porsche, BMW, or Audi, look no further. Give Matt or Leslie a call. They will take great care of you and your car."

"Hans and his team do amazing work. I brought in my Mercedes ML 350 for a complex engine hesitation / "stuttering" issue. The check-engine light had disappeared by the time I brought the car into Hans, so it was not easy to diagnose. His team went through a list of potential causes and figured it out over multiple days of test drives while continually keeping me in the loop. At the end, Hans figured out the issue (a rare combination of automatic load balancing and issues with some of the spark plugs). My car runs smootly now. I doubt that I would get this level of care at another shop. Danke, Hans!

Are you one of the many drivers who wastes money on premium gas? 💸 The truth is that using a higher octane gas than what your manufacturer recommends does NOT boost engine performance. Simply follow the recommendations listed and only pay for premium if your engine needs it!

Vintage Starter Rescue.
Our website states: “Giving Up Is Not In Our Vocabulary“
One of our valued customers had a starter failure on a 51 year old vintage car.
No new parts available anymore and our friends at the Starter and Alternator Shop said “Not Fixable”.
The commutator soldering rubbed on the brush holders and ground the armature field coils soldering off the commutator. It didn’t look good.
Well, during some after hours TLC, Old Craftsman Hans cleaned and soldered all armature coils beautifully back in place and aligned the assembly with spacers so that it can not happen again.

Take a listen...not what you wish for, but it sounded at first like a transmission failure; however, after removal our skilled technicians found a cracked flywheel/ring gear! If your car makes funny noises, give us a call! We'll get to the bottom of it. www.t-g-a.com

AVOID DEEP WATER! Flash floods in June caused a total loss of this water-stalled, BMW engine. Water is not compressible; therefore when water enters a cylinder and the piston moves up to compress the mixture, the piston is blocked and this causes major mechanical damage. Most engines have some or all connection rods bent which results in $$$$$ repair cost. This video shows the water splashing back out of the intake while David blows compressed air through a spark plug hole. www.t-g-a.com
The Porsche GT3 RS , high power, engine project is complete, and the car is ready for the track! A job well done by our TGA technicians, Michael and Christian! www.t-g-a.com
At TGA, we have ALL the cool tools! Check this out: Procedure for Tightening a Porsche Center Lock. 1) Lift vehicle off ground.

SAVE THE DATE AND JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL ST. NIKOLAUS MARKET ON SUNDAY, December 8, 2019 from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ENJOY A HOLIDAY MARKET WITH VERY SPECIAL ARTISAN VENDORS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING AND A MAGICAL PROGRAM INCLUDING A MARIONETTE PUPPET PLAY "TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS". See program below.
Kenny Davis, Kenjel Desalle, Darlene DeSalle...Preown inspections only conducted Monday thru Friday.
Town Hall is now preparing Welcome Kits for new families that are moving into our community.
Our Welcome Kits feature and direct these new families to a small number of local businesses for the goods, services & professionals that they need to find.
Since our Welcome Kits are exclusive, and we can only accommodate one Auto Repair Shop, I would ask you to kindly let me know if you are interested in being featured in our local Welcome Kits.
It is worthy to note that, according to Dr. Cathy Goodwin in her book “Making the Big Move”, 54% of new residents and families seek out a new Auto Repair Shop within 6 months of their relocation. As such, more than one-half of our Welcome Kit recipients are actively looking for a new mechanic.
I would like to schedule a time when you are expecting me so that I may drop off a sample of our "Welcome Kit" and explain the program in greater detail.
Thanks.
