About Anchor Motor Works
About Anchor Motorworks
Anchor Motorworks LLC opened its doors in early 2024 to fill a much-needed gap in the Lake of the Ozarks automotive world: a trustworthy, highly specialized European car repair shop that actually enjoys diving into German engineering. From VW and Audi to BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Saab, and Mini, we handle all the quirks, warning lights, and “who designed this?” moments that come standard with European vehicles.
In 2025, after quickly outgrowing our original location (turns out there are a lot of Volkswagens, Audis, and BMWs around here), we expanded into a full five-bay facility in Laurie, Missouri. This larger Euro-focused shop gives us the space and equipment to take on more diagnostics, performance repairs, diesel services, and major mechanical work for drivers throughout the Lake of the Ozarks area.
We also offer professional four-wheel alignments using advanced electronic alignment equipment — essential for keeping European suspensions riding correctly, tires wearing evenly, and handling feeling like it should. Whether your BMW needs precise subframe adjustments, your Mercedes is pulling left, or your Audi just ate a pothole the size of a canoe, we’ve got your alignment covered.
Beyond suspension and alignment work, we’re especially known for our advanced starting and charging system diagnostics, alternator and starter remanufacturing, and small diesel repair services. With over ten years of hands-on experience rebuilding starters and alternators, we restore no-start issues and charging system failures using only high-quality OEM components. That expertise has earned Anchor Motorworks a growing nationwide following — customers regularly contact us from across the U.S. for our specialized alternator rebuilds, wiring solutions, and hard-to-find European diesel repairs.
While European cars are our specialty, we also service small diesel vehicles from Chevrolet, Jeep, Ford, Land Rover, and of course VW, Audi, and BMW. Whether it cranks, starts, charges, steers, or occasionally refuses to cooperate, we bring expert diagnostics, precision repair, and a good sense of humor to every job.
If you’re looking for a reliable European car mechanic in Laurie, MO — or even a shop that enthusiasts across the country trust — Anchor Motorworks is here to keep your Euro running, driving, and handling its best around the Lake of the Ozarks and beyond.
