I’ll start by saying that I do 90% of my own maintenance, but I felt like I was in a little over my head doing the timing belt/water pump service on my 2014 VW Passat TDI. The dealership wanted $3500 to do it, so I called around to all of the independent shops that I could find or were recommended. Vintage Auto was WAY cheaper than the dealership and when I called to get a quote for the service, I was given a price immediately, no searching for parts and labor prices. That made me feel like they do the timing belt service enough that it’s pretty much routine for everyone in that shop to deal with.Vintage Auto happened to be one of the closest shops to me so it was much easier for my wife to go with me to drop off and pick up my car.They requested that I drop it off on Sunday evening so they could start on it first thing on Monday. Early afternoon on Monday, I got a call that the work was complete and I went over to pay for the work.Everyone I met was incredibly friendly, including the guy that worked on my car, who they say is a TDI guru, which is a huge plus.The price was exactly what was quoted, and they were cool with me leaving my car there until my wife could bring me back to get it that evening.I still do most of my own maintenance, but I’ll definitely keep this shop in mind if there’s something I’m uncomfortable doing or lack the proper equipment to do correctly.Overall, I had an excellent experience and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone with a VW or Audi who needs service work or mechanical repairs done to their vehicle.
