Volkswerks

Excellent mechanics! Honest, fair priced, and hard working. Chris has worked on various cars of mine for several years and has always done a great job for the right price.

Friendly, honest, and they saved me a lot of money.
Two years ago I lost the heat in my car and during that winter cold spell I went to a VW dealer. They quoted me $ 1,500 for a heater core replacement. I did not get the work done and wore a coat and hat in the car for that winter.
Last winter I tried another VW mechanic in town. They told me they may be able to get some heat by flushing the system. They charged me $ 189 and I got luke warm air for a few weeks. Disappointing.
This past week I tried Volkswerks. David told me right away that they rarely have to replace a heater core and they have good experience with a full flush and clean out of the system. He said he could raise the air temp by 100 degrees or so.
They charged me $ 252 and showed me the gunk that was in the core. I drove to work today with very warm air; so warm I had to turn it down.
As far as I am concerned that saved me $ 1,200.

I moved to this area after living many years in California and was afraid I couldn’t find a replacement for my stellar CA VW mechanic. This place has treated me more than fairly, professionally, and with courtesy. I have a Eurovan, which means it’s expensive to fix anyway, but their repairs have been very reasonable. They’re even helping me to solve a problem that Molle VW has botched — it was a dealer-​only repair. I would definitely recommend this place.

I’m having a hard time coming up with something good to say about this place. I’ve had too many overpriced trips to this garage that I’m searching out someplace else to take my VW. They just don’t know how to take care of their customers. I could go into a lengthy rehash of my latest trip there, but I’ll spare you the gory details. The short version is that they charge double for the same work that I get done at my neighborhood garage, but since they’re a VW «specialist» they feel like they can get away with it. By all means, avoid this place if at all possible, unless you hate money. I think setting my money on fire would have been preferable to giving it to them for absolutely no resolution. My normal mechanic is Hank’s Auto on 39^th Street. They are honest, reasonable in their pricing, and much friendlier and respectful.
