About Stuttgart Automotive


Stuttgart Automotive has been a trusted name in European auto repair in Santa Monica for over 35 years, and we remain proudly family-owned and operated. Originally opened in 1978, Stuttgart Automotive was created to offer European vehicle owners a true dealership alternative, with the goal of making customers feel respected, understood, and confident in the work being done on their German vehicles.


This mission and passion continue today under the ownership of Juan Vazquez and his son, Maximiliano Vazquez. Juan began his automotive career at just 18 years old, exclusively working on luxury vehicles, specifically Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. When the opportunity to purchase Stuttgart Automotive arose, Juan was determined to carry on Randy’s legacy while evolving the shop into the warm, family-centered business it is now.


A European Vehicle Specialty Shop That Truly Cares About People


At Stuttgart Automotive in Santa Monica, CA, we’re not just here to turn wrenches and send you on your way. We take the time to get to know our customers, their vehicles, and their families because we believe trust is what makes great service possible. 


When the Palisades fires impacted many of our customers and their homes in California, we stepped up as more than a repair shop. We opened our space for temporary storage and checked in with our clients regularly to ensure they were safe and supported. That experience reinforced what we already believed: our community matters, and we are here to help however we can.
