Welcome to Ottohaus:

The German Mechanic of Charleston

Quality Control – Honesty – Experience – Precision

At Ottohaus, we provide a superior alternative to dealership auto repair and maintenance. Dealerships often charge significantly more, offering mediocre service with overlooked details. At Ottohaus, you can trust that our highly trained professionals are dedicated to giving your vehicle the attention and expertise it deserves.

At Ottohaus, we prioritize quality, honesty, and precision. We refuse to take shortcuts, and ensure every aspect of your visit meets the highest standards. Trust us for reliable, expert care for your German vehicle.

Ottohaus of Charleston was founded by me, Leo Colwill. It was established on a simple principle…Providing great service with high standards in quality and your overall satisfaction with a passion for automotive excellence. That means doing things right…the first time…every time! Having been dealership trained and certified for the entirety of my professional automotive career, I have seen and experienced first hand what they are lacking. I take responsibility for your auto repair experience from the moment you call Ottohaus to the time you leave our shop. When you entrust your vehicle in our care, it’s my promise to provide insight and education about your vehicle throughout the entire process. This affords me the opportunity to make certain that every aspect of your visit will be executed with the utmost quality, honesty, and precision
