• Experience: German Auto Body has been in business since 1966.

• Quality: Technicians are factory trained. 

• Family Owned: Started by Joachim Rost, now owned by his son, John Rost. 

In 1951, Joachim Rost began an apprenticeship in a Berlin body shop that would lead to a passion for repairing and restoring German cars. He learned what quality auto repair truly is; only the best craftsmen, materials, and techniques should be used to do a job right. In 1966, Joachim carried this tradition of quality repair to the U.S. and opened German Auto Body in Palo Alto. Joachim taught his son, John, about this tradition of quality. Since joining the family business 25 years ago, John has kept alive the spirit of passion for quality auto repair that his father acquired in that small shop in Berlin.
