Daniel’s European was founded 2013 when Gerardo Orozco decided to turn his lifelong passion for cars into his own business. His love for working on cars started early, spending time in the garage with his dad as a teenager, learning the ins and outs of automotive repair.
In 2006, Gerardo took the next step by becoming an apprentice, and later, he enrolled in the Automotive Technology program at Rio Hondo College, determined to build a career in the industry. After finishing school, he got hands-on experience working at various automotive repair shops around Los Angeles. By 2010, he was refining his skills as a technician at a top Audi dealership, where he developed a strong focus on quality work and great customer service.
With years of experience under his belt, Gerardo took a leap and opened Daniel’s European in 2013. His goal was simple: provide expert European car repair with top-tier service at a fair price. Today, Daniel’s European is the go-to shop in La Habra for drivers who want dealership-level expertise without the dealership hassle.
At Daniels European, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We take pride in offering exceptional service and ensuring every client leaves with complete confidence in their vehicle’s performance. Your trust and satisfaction drive our commitment to excellence.
but above all the guys are honest dudes which I really appreciate. When it comes to the job This is by far the best place to bring any European car every where else in the area was always a nightmare.
EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on Yelp Elios A.Verified Gerardo has been my Porsche 911 mechanic for the past 5-6 years and does great work and knows Porsche and BMW's inside and out. He's honest and upfront about what needs to be done. Gerardo also keeps the old parts to show you what the issue was. He'll make recommendations and leave it up to you what you want to repair, etc.. Gerardo has helped me several times in a clutch when I had to tow the car in last minute. I never have to worry about my car mechanically because Gerardo's got it covered!Posted on Yelp Gerardo Z.Verified About 6 months ago I had Gerardo install a new exhaust on my Panamera. As always he said no problem set up an appointment and dropped off my car. Picked it up and it sounds amazing so much better than before. I have not had any issues with the install. She is up for a 70k service, I know who I will be calling.Posted on Yelp Jean-Pierre H.Verified I had an issue at Laguna Seca with my new 2024 M2. I was recommended to Daniels European and could not recommend their team more! Gerardo was on the phone with me looking up fuse diagrams making sure I was able to get back out on track in no time!Posted on Yelp Blanca R.Verified Great experience, Gerardo explained parts needed in detail. I saved a substantial amount compared to dealership. Shop looks great too! I will be back and will recommend to my friends and family.Posted on Yelp Peiter L.Verified Many thanks to Gerardo, you done great job and excellent quality services,you're the best !!! Highly recommend this Daniel's European Happy thanksgiving to you GerardoPosted on Yelp Nino G.Verified Great customer service, Clean shop Gerardo the owner is a very friendly guy And also very knowledgeable, he personally took care of me. I took in My BMW M5 for a clutch replacement. He went above and beyond even took me home when I dropped my car off at his shop. He kept me updated the entire time the car was there. He finished the job on time and he even suggested a couple things that might need to be worked on soon. ( most mechanics won't ) his prices are fare and I believe that if your looking for a good mechanic with high knowledge on European cars this is the place to go. thank you! Gerardo & staff I will see you guys soon .Posted on Yelp Matthew D.Verified An honest mechanic and overall a good person. Very polite, courteous, and professional. I'm definitely coming back. They helped save me tens of thousands on an engine repair by thoroughly inspecting a car I recently purchased.Posted on Yelp David C.Verified Great Service, very happy with repair. Daniels European went above and beyond for me and I can't reccomend them enough. I do reccomend calling to see about scheduling in advance as they do get busy.Posted on Yelp Jared P.Verified TL:DR - You get what you pay for but here, you'll get even more. The team are auto enthusiasts and to quality work paying attention to every little detail. They caught things others wouldn't have and essentially saved me over $1,000 in labor doing so. Good mechanics are everywhere, but trustworthy mechanics are not. This team you can trust whether it's your daily or your baby. All service they do is updated into carfax history as well for increased resale value. Boy am I glad I found Gerardo and his team at Daniels European. You can tell from my review history, I've been on the hunt for a perfect Porsche Indy and I do believe I've finally found them. Through my journey over the past few years, I've found shops that have great reviews but didn't meet the expectations. I've had shops who do good work, but only the work assigned and paying close attention to the details that could save you from a second visit. I've had shops that are just mediocre for a mediocre price. I've had shops who do great work but aren't really 'up to speed' and are still doing the work they have been doing for 40 years and don't have the capacity to answer modern questions you may have based on forum knowledge and research. Daniels European met all my expectations and then exceeded them. The owner and team are car enthusiasts not just mechanics, so they are up to date on skills, knowledge, products, and even modification/aftermarket stuff. While working on my CTT they had a very keen eye and spotted a few things that doing now, for $0 extra cost to labor, saved me a trip in the future to repay the same labor getting back to that spot. They took pictures along the way, and even saved the parts for me to see on pickup. They stayed late as heck when no one asked them to because they knew I only had 1 car. I could honestly go on for ages but the point is, I'm extremely picky when it comes to mechanics. I have been searching for a 'home' to build a relationship with for a long time and I'm stoked I found it. If you're looking for quality work, OEM or better parts, nothing but the highest quality fluids, and customer service rivaled by no one I've met so far, then you've found your new home with the team at Daniels European.Posted on Yelp Debbie C.Verified Solid mechanic and business practices. Everything is always organized and clear. You can tell he cares about the work he does. Not the cheapest, but trustworthy.
