Walnut Creek Auto Repair

Torsten did a great job on my 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB - hard to find mechanics that know old and new cars - had belt issues and minor electrical wok which he resolved. Highly recommend

Fast and professional.

Torston has been my go to mechanic from the very beginning when he started CT Motorworks about seven years ago. He was already a very experienced mechanic. Few years later he moved into the present location at Prestige on the other side of the same stretch of the parking lot. We had two 20 year old lexuses and Torston have kept them running smoothly with detailed attention and timely service, all with clear communication and reasonable cost. I think he stands out as the most honest and competent mechanic that I have ever encountered. I am an engineer and I really respect the depth of his technical knowledge and experience as well as his flexibility in working on many makes. He is the total package. 100% Consistent professional in every way. Highly recommend without reservation and we are customers for life.

Torsten did a pre purchase inspection of my FIAT 124 Spider and did a great job. He flagged everything, even the windshield wipers not being 100% perfect. Ultimately the car was in great condition, but it was helpful to know all the little things that weren’t perfect with the car so I can keep an eye on them for the future. It’s easy to get to Prestige Autohaus, park and have a good conversation with Torsten about European cars. Side note, this is one of the few places in town that services Italian cars, especially FIAT. I’ll be bringing my Spider back for regular maintenance.

One stop shop for all my maintenance needs! Torsten is extremely helpful and made the process simple and easy. I appreciate his honest advice and attention to detail. I have been coming here for the past few years and will continue coming!

Torsten is very honest and doesn’t try to up-sell you in services needed. I inherited a 1985 Porsche that hadn’t been driven in at least 2 years and was spitting out more smoke than any factory you have ever seen. The car also needed a new ignition switch as well as all new tires. After seeing how much the car smoked, and knowing about the ignition switch and tires, he guesstimated it could cost upwards of $5000 and possibly more to get it running properly. Instead the final bill was under 4K. He could have tried to add some other stuff to the bill to get it to $5000 as that is what I was prepared for but he didn’t. Plus, I live Marin so communication was key and he did a great job keeping me informed on what was happening. I highly recommend his shop.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to take my 911 to Prestige Auto! All the reviews are correct, Torsten is great! I am so happy I found a mechanic that I am comfortable with and can trust. I have 2 Porsche's in my garage and they will both be going to Prestige from now on!

I consider myself very lucky to have found Torsten Brune at Prestige Autohaus in Walnut Creek.. I have a 1961 VW Beetle that was in sad shape after being stored for 10 years. It needed a lot of work to bring it up to par. When I first spoke to Torsten ( I was searching for a good mechanic who would restore it to its old self), I immediately felt I could trust him and knew he would do a good job. I visited his shop and noticed it was clean and organized. I also noticed the amazing classic cars he was working on and could see that the cars looked immaculate. Good sign. It took awhile to complete the renovation but I knew parts were not easy to come by, especially during COVID. Torsten had my car detailed and didn’t charge me for it…he said he did it for his own satisfaction. I was delighted when I saw the car. I don’t remember it ever looking this good and I’ve known it all it’s life! He also recommended Hagerty Classic Car Insurance. They charged me $164 for a year of insurance with lots of perks, superior to what my own insurance company was about to charge me ($400 for 6 months and no perks). Thank you Torsten, for everything. I highly recommend him as a reliable, trustworthy person and a brilliant mechanic.

I have been using Autohaus for many years. Torsten is a top notch mechanic whom i have come to have complete trust in for my cars mechanical and maintenance needs.

Great service. Most importantly, I TRUST them. They've kept my RAV4 on the road for the better part of its 200,000 miles. *****
