What to Expect When You’re Expecting… Car Service at Joe Davis Autosport

Posted on in Auto Repair, European Repair

Spoiler: There are no diapers involved, but there might be donuts.

If you’ve never been to Joe Davis Autosport, first of all—welcome! You’ve just found Perkasie’s most personable, peculiar, and precision-obsessed European auto repair shop. We specialize in keeping your Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Mini, Porsche, Saab, VW, and Volvo young & alive!

But what actually happens when you book an appointment with us? We’re about transparency, communication, and occasionally sarcastic humor.

So here it is—everything you can expect from the moment you schedule to the moment you roll off into the sunset, car humming happily beneath you.

Scheduling: Let’s Make It a Date

Whether you call us (we do love a good chat) or book online (tech-savvy, we like it), you can request a free shuttle ride or a loaner car. We offer both because we know sitting in a waiting room with three-year-old magazines and a Keurig isn’t everyone’s dream.

Need a loaner? Awesome. Just be:

  • 25 or older
  • Cool with returning it by 5:30 PM with a full tank
  • And if you're cruising the Turnpike—bring your own EZPass. We don’t Venmo toll money.

Prefer to drop your car off the night before? Even better. Our 24/7 key drop box is always open and waiting. And here’s a fun fact: our techs roll in an hour before we even open. That means your car can get looked at before most people have their first cup of coffee.

Who’s Wrenching on Your Ride?

We don’t just hire any tech who knows how to turn a bolt. We’ve got specialists. Like, fantasy football-level specialists—but for Euro cars:

  • Peter: The Audi and Volkswagen whisperer. If it’s German and has electrical quirks, he’s your guy.
  • Ryan: Handles Mercedes, Saabs, and Porsches. Yes, we said Saab. No, they’re not extinct.
  • Justin: Master of all things BMW, MINI, and Volvo. He probably knows more about your car than the manual does.

Basically, your vehicle is in the hands of people who obsess over European engineering so you don’t have to.

Inspection Time: No Surprises (Except Maybe How Good We Are)

Once we’ve got your car, we start with the reason you came in—oil change, weird noise, mystery light on the dash, etc. But then we go a step further.

We perform a courtesy digital vehicle inspection on every car. We take photos, check over your car from bumper to bumper, and send you a report straight to your phone. Because nothing says “we’ve got your back” like a crystal-clear look at what we’re seeing under the hood. (And no, we don’t circle things with red markers like it’s a high school essay.)

You can approve or decline any recommended work right from your phone or just give us a ring. Nate, our Service Manager, will walk you through it all—step by step, question by question. He’ll even talk to you about lawn care or the best fishing gear if you want. He’s versatile like that.

The Work Begins

Once you give us the green light, we order the necessary parts, knock out the work, and keep you updated the entire time. You won’t be left wondering if your car’s been abducted.

When the job’s done, it goes through a final quality control check because we don’t send anything out that we wouldn’t put our own families in.

Picking Up? We Keep It Easy

When your vehicle is ready, we’ll call you. You can:

  • Pay in person, or
  • Use our secure text-to-pay link if you’re still in your slippers.
  • We offer Affirm (90 Days Same as Cash) as a payment option

Can’t make it before we close at 5:30? No stress. We’ve got 24/7 key pick-up via lockboxes. We’ll text you your lockbox number and a 3-digit code so you can scoop up your keys like a secret agent.

Pro Tip: Inspections Require Paperwork

Coming in for a PA state inspection? Don’t forget your current insurance card and vehicle registration. It’s like showing up to the DMV without your soul—completely useless without those documents.

A Little Backstory

This isn’t just some pop-up Euro shop with shiny signage and no soul. Joe Davis started this whole thing in his garage—literally. What began as a side hustle fixing cars to support his family 35 years ago is now a 10-bay European repair powerhouse trusted by folks all over Bucks County and beyond.

We didn’t get here by doing it “quick and cheap.” We got here by doing it right, building trust, and making car repair feel a little more human. And hey - we were just voted Bucks County’s Best Auto Repair Shop in the 2025 Happening List.

In Summary (Because You're Probably Skimming Now Anyway)

Here’s the Breakdown:

  • Book online or call us
  • Drop your car off the night before if you can
  • Loaners and shuttles available (just ask)
  • We specialize in Audi, BMW, VW, Volvo, Porsche, Saab, Mercedes, and MINI
  • Every car gets a courtesy digital inspection with photos
  • We communicate clearly every step of the way
  • Easy pay + 24/7 pickup options
  • We’ve been doing this for 35 years, and it shows
