Established in 1994
Precision care for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche & VW.
Since 1994, German Tech Inc has been a family-owned and operated shop dedicated to the care of German automobiles and the people who drive them. Our mission is simple: combine friendly, straightforward service with the kind of craftsmanship that keeps Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen vehicles performing their best. We believe great work starts with listening, explaining options clearly, and standing behind every repair.
Our story begins with our founder and president, Joe Vatter. After completing his formal training as an automobile mechanic in southern Germany, Joe came to the United States in 1973. He first worked as a Porsche master technician, then advanced to shop foreman and eventually service manager for a Porsche, Audi, and BMW dealer in St. Petersburg, Florida. Those years shaped his commitment to factory-correct procedures, precise diagnostics, and honest communication—principles that inspired him to open his own business in 1988.
We have been proud to serve customers from our current location since 1994. The shop reflects our approach: a blend of old-world attention to detail and modern equipment that meets the exacting standards of German engineering. Whether we are handling routine maintenance, complex drivability concerns, complete engine rebuilds, or full restorations of vintage Porsche 911 and 356 models, our team treats every car as if it were our own.
Being family-run means our name is on every job, and that matters to us. You can expect familiar faces, transparent recommendations, and workmanship that favors quality over shortcuts. We take time to explain what your car needs and why, so you can make confident decisions about service and repairs.
