"It was 2007 in Carpinteria when I first met Anders, then the owner of Christensen Performance. What really left an impression on me was his attention to detail and thoroughness. Since 2007 I have been a loyal customer and have never had wonderful things to say about the results with my vehicles."
"I absolutely recommend ABC European! Their team are always such an incredible help to me. I had bought a rare garage find in a 1974 911S Targa Porsche and they went out of their way to bring it back to superb condition. They are an incredible source of knowledge and I honestly don't think I would be driving this class European import car today if it were not for ABC European."
ABC European's work is absolutely impeccable and I would tell anyone in need of auto repair for their European import vehicle to go here without hesitation.

ABC European is pleased to introduce our valued team of automotive repair & service specialists. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring our customers get only the best auto repair in Ventura, at the right cost, and to their complete satisfaction.
Lee's familiarity with the industry came from both the drive-ability and diagnostics sides of automotive repair. His career began just as vehicles transitioning from being analog to that of the computerized vehicles the majority of the customers of our Ventura auto repair shop drive today. This has enabled Lee to be quite familiar with both the newer technology as well as that found in older cars and trucks. As the owner of ABC European, Lee supervises all repairs, ensuring they are completely properly. Additionally, Lee will road test each vehicle after being repaired or serviced to make sure they meet the high standards set forth by our team of automotive specialists.
