Currently, five German companies and seven marques dominate the automotive industry in the country: Volkswagen AG (and subsidiaries Audi and Porsche), BMW AG, Daimler AG, Adam Opel AG and Ford-Werke GmbH.

German car makers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen have been producing desirable and attractive models for many years, with the manufacturers themselves being amidst some of the world's most recognised brands.

These include Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Volkswagen. Here at German Specialists Ltd, we specialise in servicing, MOTs, ECU mapping, and repairs for German cars, so we use our expertise to guide you through these manufacturers in our latest blog below.

In short, German cars are reliable as long as you maintain them properly. Have a proper maintenance schedule, and they should last longer without any issues. Brands like Audi have good depreciation values, but contrarily, Mercedes Benz decreases in value.
