I’ve spent over 2. 5k at this shop. Four days later my car starts making a loud humming sound. Took it to another mechanic and was told that VW replaced my old cv axle w 5k at this shop. Four days later my car starts making a loud humming sound. Took it to another mechanic and was told that VW replaced my old cv axle with a non VW part and it’s causing noise. The service advisor told me he would give me the axle at their cost which is great, but now I have this loud buzzing sound coming from my car and I feel like my cv axle wasn’t repaired correctly and now I will have to pay more money to get it fixed. Glad my car is not leaking oil but wish everything was fixed correctly. More

The service manager I worked with was friendly and helpful, and I had no issue with him or with the work done. It was the prices! They wanted over $840 for two tire pressure sensors, something I can helpful, and I had no issue with him or with the work done. It was the prices! They wanted over $840 for two tire pressure sensors, something I can have done at a tire shop for $128. A fuel pump controller module that VW gives an MSRP of $318 was $406, and I could find the exact same factory part for sale online at $232. Altogether they quoted me $3500 for a few small repairs. I had them do only those things that I thought really should be done by a dealer and went elsewhere for the rest. They’re even expensive compared to other dealers... their shop rate is $185/hr, but Deery Bros where I take my truck is $140/hr. They offer good service, but at exorbitant prices. I expect to pay a premium for factory parts and trained technicians, but this seemed excessive. More
