Good VW mechanic?

[Quadrifoglio]

Hey everyone,

I brought my dads transporter down because it needs work done on it and we've had one hell of a time with some VW mechanics.

Does anyone have a VW mechanic that they would recommend?

I've heard tuned dubs is good, but this is a diesel van, and the idea of taking it to a tuner shop seems wasteful.

Thanks!

I would call and ask George about it. (403 - 238-8633) www.tunedub.ca. Even if he cant do anything for you he will be able to help. I am a huge fan and have all the work done on my 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T done there.

Tundub isn't just a tuner shop, they do everyday average stuff too.

NAH.... go to stevo auto clinic 287-1334 its a small shop but price is good and work is the best in town for VW

[Quadrifoglio]

I will call both of those places and figure something out.

Thanks!

Tunedub for Audi or VW, I wouldn't even bother looking anywhere else. Amazing service and prices.

For a van, and especially for a diesel, I would say Tony's Auto Service is your best bet.
611 11th Ave SE
(by the Stampede grounds)
266-3397
Paul and Dale are the best when it comes to vans.

hey everyone, thanks for the replies!

Like I said I've booked an appointment to diagnose what exactly is the problem on the van, and will go from there on what/where by getting quotes.

If you guys would like I can go into detail about how bad some vw dealerships treat their customers, but I think i'd start a new thread. Or pm.

George at Tunedub has got to be the most honest mechanic I've ever met.

Yep... i agree with all the good things people have said about tunedub. Great and honest service at a very fair price.

The fact the majority of the replies have been for George from TuneDub shouldn't be a coincidence. He does great work, and most importantly, he is forthright, polite and transparent.

I've had issues with many types of Stealerships and it's a welcome change to have a trustworthy and competent mechanic.

i've taken my GTi 337 (25th anni) for all it's work there.

George at Tune Dub has a great rep... If you wanna make a drive out to Red Deer or are from around there, Chris from Das Auto Haus is also amazing and has a wicked reputation and following as well...

Bump from the dead for a good shop to do pre-purchase inspection on a VW. I called tunedub, and they told me it would be a two week wait to get in for an inspection. That's not really going to work.
I know those "german car specialists" say they do VW as well. Just wondered if anyone had a reccomendation specific to VW that might be able to get me in within a couple of days.

Tonys auto or paul at bert and jacks.

Call those fellows.
