Masters European and Japanese Auto Repair has been part of the Mill Valley community for more than 50 years. What began as a local family business has grown into a trusted repair shop for generations of drivers throughout Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Larkspur, Kentfield, Ross, San Anselmo, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Belvedere.
Today, Masters is owned and operated by Keith Terstegge, who grew up around the shop. As a child, Keith would come by to watch his dad, Jim, work and quickly began learning the trade. Over time, the shop, the work, and the customers became part of his life. After college, Keith knew he could not imagine doing anything else.
That family connection still shapes the way Masters operates today. Many of the customers who first came to the shop years ago now bring in their children’s cars, and in some cases, even their grandchildren’s cars. Being trusted by three generations of local families is something our team does not take lightly.
Our customers come to us because they want their vehicles handled by people who know what they are doing, and who care about doing the job right. Every technician at Masters is ASE certified, with two technicians holding Master Technician distinctions. Four members of our team are also EV certified, allowing us to continue supporting customers as vehicle technology changes.
Our technician team includes Jesus, Luis, Aldo, Michael, and Leo. Together, they bring experience across a wide range of European and Japanese vehicles like Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, BMW, Toyota, and Lexus. Some of our technicians have deep brand-specific backgrounds, while others are skilled all-around technicians who take pride in solving complex problems across many makes and models.
Just as important, our team works well together. Masters has very little turnover, and many of the faces customers see when they drop off or pick up their vehicles are the same people they have known for years. That consistency matters. It allows us to build real relationships with our customers and provide a level of care that feels personal, not transactional.
We know auto repair can feel stressful, especially when you depend on your vehicle every day. Our goal is to make the experience as clear, respectful, and efficient as possible.
Leigh and Axel help lead that experience in the office. They serve as the connection between our customers and technicians, making sure communication is clear and customers feel taken care of from start to finish. They are kind, personable, and passionate about cars, and they understand how important it is to keep customers informed in a fast-paced repair environment.
At Masters, we want every customer to feel that their time has been valued and that their vehicle is being cared for by a capable, experienced team. Whether you are here for routine maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, or specialized service for a European luxury vehicle, our goal is simple: to provide work and service that leave you fully satisfied.
