They are legit, definitely recommend
I hired them to do my pension refund. At first I was skeptical of hiring a company off of the internet since I was not in Germany anymore but everything went smoothly.
I talked to a colleague who had used their services and he said they are legit and his experience was positive. Would definitely recommend them as they got my pension refund in a timely manner, and Christian was transparent and fast to respond. He guided me through the entire process and did all the heavy lifting for me.
Would definitely recommend this over trying to do it yourself due to language and bureaucracy issues. The fees they charge are totally worth it.

I am Zalak from India and I am here to provide my review of working with 'German Pension Refund(GPR)'. I has started my process few month before and from very beginning I have guided effortlessly and with extreme transparency by GPR. They guided be with every smallest queries and doubt about the process and advice me with utmost simplicity and authenticity. Initially, I was skeptical about the whole process from oversees. But GPR made this journey very smooth and simple. I would strongly recommend GPR as they are extremely professional and trustworthy.

Regular and prompt in responding
I'd rate them more than 5 star, if it was possible. Mr. Johannes was really regular and prompt in terms of responding emails. I've also searched for similar agencies before communicating with them. After my short research, I've found this company takes the least interest from the refund amount compared to others. Additionally, they will send the money how and where the clients want it to be sent. Thanks once again to Germany Pension Refund company.
