Don't drive your BMW, Audi, or Mercedes to the dealer just to overpay for routine work. Our techs are factory-trained on European platforms and we have the manufacturer-specific scan tools to do the job right — at independent shop pricing. Right here on Silas Creek Parkway.
An Audi Q5 owner came in last fall with a $4,200 quote from the dealer for a major service plus a list of "recommended" repairs. We did the actual service and the genuinely needed work for less than half — and showed her line by line which dealer "recommendations" weren't actually due yet on her car. That's the gap we fill: real European expertise, real factory-grade tools, real pricing.
Twin City Automotive provides European auto repair Winston-Salem drivers trust with their luxury vehicles. We service Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar, and other European makes — including milestone services like the Mercedes A and B Service and 30/60/90k inspections. Right here at our Hanes Mall area shop, with the same diagnostic software the dealers use.
If your European vehicle is due for service, throwing codes you don't recognize, or just doesn't feel right anymore, bring it in. We'll diagnose properly and walk you through what your car actually needs — and what it doesn't.
Drop the car off and we'll get you where you need to go in Winston-Salem.

From scheduled milestone services to deep diagnostic and repair work, our shop has the platform-specific tools and the OEM-quality parts pipeline to keep your European vehicle running like the day you drove it home.
Mercedes A and B Services, BMW inspection intervals, Audi maintenance schedules, Porsche service intervals — every European brand has its own service rhythm. We follow each manufacturer's spec, use the right oil grades, and reset the service indicators properly.
From a small electrical fault to a full timing chain job, we handle European repair across the full range. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar — diagnostics, repair, and post-repair calibration all done in our shop.
BMW-specific work — N20, N52, N54, N55, B58, S58 engines, ZF transmissions, electronic ride control, valvetronic, vanos. We have the BMW factory-grade scan tool and the platform knowledge to do the job correctly.
VW Group platforms — TSI, TFSI, TDI, the 2.0T family, DSG transmissions, Quattro AWD systems. We have factory-grade VAG software for diagnostics, coding, and module work that other shops can't access.
Mercedes A Service, B Service, milestone inspections, 4MATIC and Airmatic systems, COMAND electronics. We use Mercedes-spec oils, MB-grade parts, and the factory-level diagnostic equipment your car needs.
Porsche scheduled maintenance and repair (Boxster, Cayman, 911, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera). Volvo XC and S series service. Jaguar diagnostics and repair. If it's European, ask us — we likely work on it.
European cars give you plenty of warning before something becomes a major repair. If any of these match what you're seeing, get a diagnostic before the small problem becomes an expensive one.
European cars are good at telling you exactly when they need service. Don't push past it — milestone services exist because specific components age on a known schedule.
Common on older BMWs and Audis — valve cover gaskets, oil filter housings, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals all have known wear points. Catch a leak early before it ruins something else under the hood.
European water pumps, expansion tanks, and coolant lines have known service intervals. A small leak today is much cheaper than an overheat tomorrow.
Carbon buildup on direct-injection engines, ignition coil failure, fuel injector issues, or VANOS/Valvetronic problems on BMWs. All diagnosable, all fixable.
European automatics (ZF, DSG) need fluid service at specific intervals. Skipping it is the fastest way to ruin an expensive transmission. Get it diagnosed early.
Air suspension issues on Mercedes Airmatic and BMW EAS systems can be expensive if ignored. We diagnose air suspension faults and offer multiple repair paths.
Every job we do is covered by the TechNet 3 Year / 36K Mile Nationwide Warranty, including roadside assistance and road hazard. If something goes wrong, you're covered at thousands of shops across the country — not just ours.
TechNet Protection PlanWe're parked on Silas Creek Parkway, a few minutes from Hanes Mall and Wake Forest University.

Real European expertise, without dealer pricing.
If you're outside Winston-Salem, you can still get to us easily — many of our European customers drive in from across the area:
The questions Winston-Salem European vehicle owners ask us most when their BMW, Audi, Mercedes, or other European car needs work.
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar, and Mini. If it's European, ask — we likely work on it. We have factory-grade diagnostic software for the major platforms and the platform-specific knowledge to do the work right.
Most European jobs cost meaningfully less here than at the dealer — sometimes hundreds of dollars less, occasionally more. The savings come from lower labor rates, no dealer overhead, and not pushing unnecessary work. Every job gets a written estimate before any work starts.
Yes — for European vehicles we use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts because the cheap aftermarket alternatives often cause real problems on these platforms. We'll discuss any cost-saving alternatives with you before installing anything.
No. Federal law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects your right to use any qualified shop for service without voiding the manufacturer warranty, as long as the work is done correctly with proper parts and documentation. We provide full service records that satisfy warranty requirements.
The A Service is the lighter scheduled service (oil, filter, fluid checks, brake inspection). The B Service is the larger one (everything in A plus cabin filter, brake fluid, additional inspections). Mercedes alternates them on a roughly yearly schedule based on mileage and time. We perform both to spec and reset the indicator.
Routine service is same-day. Diagnostics are usually same or next day. Larger repairs — timing chains, transmission service, suspension overhauls — can take two to four days depending on parts availability. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
Yes. Direct-injection BMWs (and most modern European DI engines) build up carbon on the intake valves over time, which causes rough running and power loss. We perform walnut blasting carbon cleaning to restore performance. It's typically due around 60,000 to 80,000 miles.
Call our Winston-Salem shop, drop the car off on Silas Creek Parkway, or use our after-hours drop-off. Most diagnostics are same-day — and you'll always get a written estimate with no upsell before any work begins.
