What we do
- Book your appointment. Schedule online or call and tell us the make, the model, and what the car needs.
- Choose your transportation plan. You can drop the car off, wait when appropriate, or reserve a courtesy car in advance.
- Diagnosis with the right equipment. We use factory-level scan tools for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mini, and more, and we work from the manufacturer's service schedule for your vehicle.
- Review and approve. Your advisor explains what the car needs and gives you the number before the work starts. Gateway Auto does not start a repair without your authorization.
- Service to manufacturer specification. The work is done with OEM or OE-equivalent parts and the correct oil and fluid specifications for your vehicle.
What it costs
Honest ranges for the most common jobs. Run your vehicle and the repair through the estimator for a real number, then we confirm it in writing after the inspection.
We are typically 30 to 40 percent less than dealership service, using OEM or OE-equivalent parts. You get the number before the work starts.
24 months or 24,000 miles on parts and labor, honored at shops across the country, with roadside assistance.

In depth
BMWs, Audis, Mercedes, Volkswagens - we work on them all. European vehicles require specialized knowledge and diagnostic tools. Our technicians have the training and equipment to service your German, Italian, or British vehicle correctly.
Why Choose Gateway for European Repair
Some of the crew at Gateway Auto loves their BMWs. Jokes aside, we had to get good at European cars if everyone was driving one.
Specialized Diagnostic Equipment
European manufacturers use proprietary diagnostic systems. We have factory-level scan tools for accurate diagnostics on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mini, and more.
Trained Technicians
European vehicles have unique service requirements - different oil specs, specific service intervals, complex electrical systems. Our techs stay current on manufacturer service bulletins and technical updates.
Quality Parts
We use OEM or OE-equivalent parts that meet European manufacturer specifications. No bargain-bin parts on your BMW.
Common European Vehicle Services
- Oil service (using correct oil weight and specification)
- Brake service (many European vehicles have electronic parking brakes requiring special tools)
- Suspension repair (especially common on BMWs and Audis as they age)
- Check engine light diagnostics
- Electrical system repair
- Transmission service
Maintenance Intervals
European vehicles often have longer service intervals than domestic vehicles but require specific fluids and procedures. We follow manufacturer service schedules and use the correct specifications.
Cost Comparison
We're typically 30-40% less expensive than dealership service while maintaining the same quality standards and using correct parts.
Questions & answers
Can you service my BMW, Audi or Mercedes?
Yes. European vehicles need the right diagnostic equipment, the correct fluid specifications and factory service intervals, and we work to those rather than treating them like anything else on the lot.
Are European cars more expensive to maintain?
Parts and fluids generally cost more, and the service intervals are specific. What you avoid by using an independent shop is the dealer labor rate on top of that. We will give you the number before the work starts either way.

What Omaha drivers say
Gateway is great to work. Their European specialist knows his stuff! I highly recommend. Loaner car is a nice touch and much appreciated.
Everyone I’ve had conversations with at Gateway Auto has been truly great. I live about 120 miles away from their shop. Sadly, no one else is willing to work on my car. It’s unique European car. Thankfully Gateway is always willing to do what I need. I have taken it there several times and will continue to do so.
Gateway Auto Service Center is the only place I've taken my car since I bought it. They always get my car done quickly and not too expensive. I never feel like I'm being taken advantage of like happens at some other places. My husband has also started bringing his car here. 10/10 would highly recommend!!
