An excellent place to get repair work on your car. Emmanuel is very friend and easy to get along with. He also takes time to explain the situation and check with you if there is any additional work that needs to be performed. I've never trusted a mechanic as they usually tend to over-charge and/or make up more work than necessary, but this is the first time I have a mechanic and his team that I trust. Would greatly appreciate it if they move their operations to the US when I move back.
The only bad thing about the garage is that it is a little out of town and the sign is hard to find if you aren't sure where the turn-off is. However, it is a minor inconvenience as compared to trying to explain to a mechanic in French what is wrong with the car when you don't know how to say the words in French.
Overall, I recommend this place to anyone, whether you are bringing a car purchased in Switzerland or importing your car from another country (personal experience), this is the place to get it serviced.

After reading the reviews here I decided to take our car to Emmanuel @ Pitstop for him to check it, clean the engine anyway, just to leave the car ready for the mechanical inspection at carouge. Excellent service. Great prices. Can not agree more with what everybody else has said about Pitstop Garage.

In a city known for bad service and high prices, Pitstop seems to have skipped that lesson at school.
Excellent attentive service, fairest prices in town.
I'm not a car person and I am very pleased that they did what they said they'd do, that they didn't overcharge, and they answered all of my questions to the point of exhaustion.
Now, if only there was a restaurant like Pitstop, I'd be there every day.

Emmanuel is great and very professional. I inquired about changing the car brakes through e-mail. He was prompt in replying, providing valuable information and a good price. I truely appreciated his advice/assistance and highly recommend Pitstop garage to glocals members and friends. Thanks.

Emmanuel was a great help, I highly recommend him to all my friends - he and his team are doing a great job :)

Emmanuel is simply the best mechanic in Geneva. I'm a complete dolt when it comes to car maintenance and I've been taken advantage of in Geneva by other garages. After taking my late model BMW to several other garages to fix a problem with the brakes and getting repeatedly screwed by mechanics who did not fix the problem and overcharged me, I found PitStop. He is professional, honest, punctual.

Good value harnessed by Expertise

Precise

Honest

Able to get the work done, being honest in doing so.

Thank YOU

Great service, expert knowledge, professional attitude and reasonable prices.
I go there every time.

after seeing the good reviews and a friend telling me about their reasonable prices, i brought my car to pitstop just to re-attach the interior rear mirror that had fallen off and i had tried in vain to glue back on to the window .. however, one of my tires was about to explode and i had a serious problem on the front left wheel, which i hadn't seen !! they advised me of the cheapest option and fixed it (they even managed to save me changing one piece) .. it came to several hundred francs and i joke that it was expensive just for a mirror, but in reality they probably saved my life ! and they gave me a smart car for 2 days, hoovered my car before giving it back to me, found 2 identical brand tires to mount so i could re-use the 2nd good one later if needed etc. etc .. they are reaaaaaaaaally nice guys and very friendly .. at least one speaks fluent english .. they were also quick with the rendez-vous, i called friday and went by monday .. seriously, cars are expensive no matter where you go and the tires were the same price as elsewhere but i did get the impression the blokes were dedicated and honest .. i'll be going back for my services .. they are a bit out in the boonies it's true, but it's handy for me as i work at the airport and it's out in the rive droite countryside in peney which i much prefer to having to cross to some garage on rive gauche at 6pm which would have included traffic jams and hassle ! .. ladies : the guys are handsome too LOL .. irrelevant i know, but just wondered if u read my whole review !! LOL

Very impressed by PitStop. Delightful staff and excellent mechanics who obviously love what they do and really care about cars. As a girl who just wants her car to be safe and in perfect working order, for the first time in my life I feel I can trust that the people working on my car are doing the best job they can. Highly recommended - and they will even give you a car to use whilst you car is being worked upon.

Simply great... ! With that all essential human touch!
Well being a self confessed car nut and owning 3 very special cars... I always look for that special care for mine.... were I know my car will be taken care of as if it was one of there very own! It has been very difficult (read nightmare) for me to find a good garage in Geneva or France... with many garages doing very poor work at ridiculous prices and being insulted when returning due to their poor work I was starting to lose hope and had no more confidence in garages! Then I found Pitstop.... I couldn't believe how well these guys worked and how passionate they are about the work they do! Taking the time to explain and diagnose problems with a logic and proffesionallism I've never seen before.... At last I have no fears of taking my beloved vehicules to a garage but only one garage (Garage pitstop!) Plus a price that is very pleasing....

So to summarise if you care about great treatment of you and your car then you will find no better garage than Garage Pitstop......

Probably the most helpful garage I've come across in Geneva, covering a wide range of vehicles (even sports cars like M3s). And in particular, willing to take a look and normally resolve issues with older vehicles without resorting to the extraordinary cost of the rip + replace approach used consistently by many garages I've spoken with in Geneva (especially the mainline dealers). It's a little bit out of the way, but if you have checked it is right next door to Pneu-Claude so most of us go up that way twice a year for the winter/summer tyre change anyway (I get my car serviced at the same time!). Or if you ask up-front they'll let you take one of their Smart cars for only 15chf/day. And if you ask nicely beforehand, they may be able to drop you at the end of bus line 6, which is a 3 min drive or 20 min walk away, and runs straight back into the center of town in 20 mins. There's the car jet wash en route also. Think 3 of the 4-5 people that work there speak good English, except the owner that speaks America, poor boy ;-) Grew up with the motor & racing trade (grandfather, father, uncles...) and must say, my feeling is Garage Pitstop has never fed me b*s, it is a reliable outfit that charges a very reasonable and honest price for their work. They do pretty much all the work on both my cars (BMW & Audi), from insurance jobs to bodywork to servicing to tyres. Would prefer they were closer to the center of town as that's were we live, but I'm fine with making a little effort to use a garage I feel I can trust.

After trying several other garages and experiencing sky-high prices, poor service and consistent language-barrier problems with them, I tried Pitstop Garage on the recommendation of a friend. They really are excellent. I have had the car repaired and serviced several times and have just booked the car in for bodywork ... following a close encounter with a wall. Emmanuel always responds quickly by email to questions and has been exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Unlike other garages, he has often suggested things that have actually saved me money (like tracking down non-genuine wiper blades and other parts that I had not been able to find). This garage is a real 'find' and although it may take you a few more minutes to get there, it's well worth it. It's hassle free, good value, great service and reasonably priced. I have recommended them to several friends and they have also been very happy with the work.

it took ages to find this place as it is serviced by the smallest of sign posts. When I got there, speaking English was somewhat of a problem as the mechanic barely spoke a word.

On the positive side, they gave me a half decent Smart car to tide me over (although not doing so is not much of an option since the garage is waaay out in the sticks) and the work was good. I have to say that the price was also quite reasonable.
