Our Story

German Autowerke was founded by Hans, an immigrant from Czech and Germany, who retired and passed the torch to current owner Vincent Tinoco. Vince grew up in an automotive repair family and is a UTI Graduate and BMW STEP Graduate. With decades of dealership experience combined with exposure to the auto repair industry from a very young age, Vincent was born to be a leader. He has been recognized as a 5x winner of the Profiles in Achievement Award. Today, he is the proud owner of German Autowerke and is committed to carrying on Hans' legacy.
