As a native Texan, Brent arrived in Austin to begin work professionally in the German car field way back in 1996 when he was still in college. Starting from the bottom, he swept floors, disassembled junk cars, and began repairing them. Air conditioning system installations on vintage BMW’s accelerated into a comprehensive career that still hums right along today. With decades of experience helping get people back on the road, Brent has honed his skills at each step of the car repair journey. At Hill Country European you will communicate with a competent and concerned technician that will explain all possible avenues available to get you back on the road.

Lazaro "Laz" Monroy
Laz was born and raised in Cuba surrounded by vintage machines. With a natural curiosity for understanding everything that contained a mechanism, he grew up working with his hands and learning to fix things.
The shop's first apprentice (now an ASE Certified Technician) came to Austin in 2008 and quickly made it his home. Here he attended and graduated from Austin Community College's automotive technology program before expanding into the world of German engineering. Eager to learn from some of the best technicians in Austin, Laz has grown to love and appreciate these luxury machines and the attention to detail that is required to keep them operating at peak performance. Continuing education classes and ASE certifications are part of his ongoing education and Laz has not hesitated to take advantage of every opportunity to grow. Being a part of the Hill Country European team since 2016 has been just one step in the process of learning to provide the best service possible. |
