Police swooped in on an industrial unit on Avenue Close in Nechells just after 3pm yesterday.
The raid was conducted after officers received information that the car workshop had a vehicle that was stolen in a car key burglary in Staffordshire earlier this month.
Inside, police arrested eight people and seized a Mercedes M4 that was stolen in Staffordshire, a VW Golf on false plates which had been taken in Dudley, and an Audi which will be examined to see if it was stolen.
Eight men were arrested for theft of motor vehicles, and two of them were arrested for burglary.
All have been bailed while further enquiries are carried out.
Equipment which is believed to have been used to modify vehicle identification numbers was also seized.
