ÜBER-WERKS – AUTOMOBILWERKE THOMAS OTTEN

Since 1980, Thomas P. Otten has been involved in one form or another with German cars.  Working after school in a VW repair shop, he learned the basics, from oil changes then on to engine tear-downs.  Enamored by Karmann Gias, Porsche 911’s and 914’s, what impressed him most was the design.  The drive comes from his father, who imigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the 1960’s and was involved with VW/Porsche repair in Germany and in the United States.

Since 2006 Über-Werks was formed first as a hobby, then started offering restoration services, and also offering restored vehicles for sale.
