Alert

On April 11, 2021, BBB received a Scam Tracker report from a consumer alleging that after he paid Shamburger German Motor Service an up-front cash deposit to repair an oil leak, the business insisted on additional payment to repair a "new" oil leak the car had sustained while it was in the business' care. The consumer further claims Shamburger German Motor Service’s became unresponsive when asked about the repair completion date, and eventually the consumer had to pay $650 for the business to release his car in a worse condition than when it was received.

In October 2020, a different consumer reported a similar experience to BBB, claiming Shamburger German Motor Service charged him $595 to remove his car from its possession, even though the car had not been repaired and the business left its interior unclean. 

According to a complainant, the Shamburger German Motor Service operated out of a facility at 4444 S Broadway in Englewood, CO. Based on Arapahoe County property records, that address is owned by a different business named A & A Transmission Clinic, Inc., which was voluntarily dissolved with the Colorado Secretary of State's office in June 2020. The Englewood facility is not associated with Shamburger German Motor Service's Colorado Secretary of State registration. According to the Secretary of State's Office, the business' primary address is a residential address in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. 

BBB contacted Shamburger German Motor Service on Aril 20, 2021, and again on April 30, 2021, but as of April 30, 2021, BBB has not heard back from the business.
