Premier Eurocars, Your European Performance Specialists

Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors, May 2022
Delivering quality and personalized service for over 30 years

Premier Eurocars, previously known as Don Galbraith Motoring, has been in business on the Main Line for over 30
years. They have built a solid reputation for high-quality and personalized service for all makes and models of Porsche Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and other fine European cars.

Located at the intersection of Old Lancaster, Waterloo and Devon State Rds in Devon, Premier Eurocars is hard to miss: They’re located in the historic building that served as a toll house in the 1700s before becoming a tenant’s farmhouse in the 1800s. Then in 1908, the building was home to the Devon Tea Room, with the newly constructed barn serving as a carriage repair shop. In 1914, the carriage repair shop became a car dealership until 1920. Then, during WWII, the Tea Room closed and became the office for the repair and car sales location it is today.

From 1990 to 2012, Don Galbraith Motoring’s focus was primarily on Porsche brand automobiles. But when Mike Forbes purchased the business from Don in 2012, he expanded the business to service more of the popular German automobile brands seen on our roads today. Mike explained that not only do they service newer model vehicles, but they have expert technicians that can work on vintage and classic cars as well. “We have the knowledge, experience and the latest diagnostic capabilities to handle everything from simple oil changes to full mechanical restorations,” he said.

Premier Eurocars’ technicians are specifically trained and have the expertise to work with both modern and vintage models. “Many of our customers have an air-cooled Porsche such as the 356, 911 or 930 models, as well as many older BMWs and Mercedes models commonly seen on our lot,” Mike said. “The majority of our business today is servicing and repairing those cars that are just out of warranty from the manufacturer, using the same sophisticated diagnostic tools available to the dealerships.” Premier Eurocars also specializes in selling select used Audis, BMWs, Porsches and Volkswagens. They not only have an impressive inventory of cars to choose from, but if they don’t have what you’re looking for, they will use their extensive network of sources to find the car of your dreams.

Aside from your typical automobile repairs, Premier Eurocars can also work with your vehicle’s service warranties and even provide extended warranties on the cars they sell. They’re also a certified Tire Rack installer for all makes and models of vehicles, from sedans to full-size SUVs.

Premier Eurocars Office was once the Devon Tea Room

At Premier Eurocars, delivering quality service is paramount, but so is being a cost-effective alternative to a dealership. “We competitively price our parts sources and benchmark our labor charges below area dealerships and other specialty shops,” said Mike. “Our technicians are skilled in Bosch automotive parts and are Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified and/or factory trained. We’re proud to be able to offer you dealership quality, knowledge, and experience at reasonable prices.”

Mike and his team understand and appreciate that when a customer comes to Premier Eurocars for service, they expect quality service from a team they can trust. “Our customers know that their satisfaction is our number one priority,” Mike said. “We are not only upfront and honest about repairs and pricing, we also follow up each appointment with a phone call or text message, to be sure the job was done right.” Mike definitely knows a thing or two about customer satisfaction. Prior to owning Premier Eurocars, he was instrumental in developing and implementing automotive customer care programs for dealerships nationwide, resulting in significant improvements in their J.D. Power Sales and Service ratings.

Winner of The Best of The Main Line many years in a row

It’s no surprise then that Premier Eurocars has consistently been named Best of the Main Line year after year and that their website is full of 5-star reviews and glowing customer testimonials. Mike said that a big reason for that is clear communication, reasonable prices, expert guidance and honest advice. “We are proud of our reputation as one of the most trustworthy auto repair facilities in the Philadelphia region.”

When we asked Mike why he decided to be a Sponsor of Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors magazine, he said, “Being in the center of the Main Line, we like to support both the immediate surrounding community and their neighbors. Newtown Square is very close to us and many people drive past or shop on their way to the Rte 202 corridor. It makes sense that Newtown Square residents know about us and how we can assist them.”
