ABOUT
NORTHWEST EUROPEAN AUTOWORKS


at our shop, expertise meets passion — to us, European vehicles are more than just machines. They’re works of art, precision engineered for performance, beauty, and a lifetime of driving enjoyment.

Rooted in Experience. Driven by Integrity.

Founder Ron Ager, a lifelong Bellingham resident, opened Northwest European Autoworks to serve a growing community of European car enthusiasts who wanted more than just a quick fix — they wanted a trusted partner. Many of our customers have known Ron for over 30 years, a testament to the relationships, transparency, and exceptional service that remain the heart of our shop today.

Who We Are


We specializes in the service, repair, and performance upgrades of vintage to modern European vehicles — including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, and MINI.

Our technicians combine deep technical expertise with a craftsman’s mindset, using dealership-level diagnostic tools alongside a thoughtful, personal approach. Whether you need scheduled maintenance, advanced mechanical repair, or a performance upgrade, we work with precision and pride, always treating your vehicle with the same care as if it were our own.

At every turn, our goal is to deliver excellence — not just in the quality of our repairs, but in the quality of your experience as a European car owner.

OUR DIFFERENCE


We don’t just work on European cars — we live and breathe them. Our unique background blends years of racing experience, in-depth European car knowledge, and Sprinter van fabrication, putting us in a rare position to solve problems that other shops simply can’t.

But our true difference goes beyond expertise. It’s how we communicate, listen, and treat each project as an opportunity to honor the design and engineering behind every vehicle. We believe servicing a European car is about more than repairs — it’s about craftsmanship, trust, and helping you enjoy every mile ahead.

at Northwest European Autoworks, it’s not just about fixing cars. It’s about honoring the craftsmanship behind them — and helping you enjoy the journey ahead.
