FAQs
Here are some common questions we get asked. However, always feel free to give us a ring.
How do I know if my VW needs diagnostic work or a repair?
If you’re seeing a warning light, experiencing drivability issues, or hearing strange noises, a diagnostic inspection is the first step. We'll assess the root cause before recommending any repairs.
Do you use OEM parts for Volkswagen repairs?
Yes — we use OEM or OE-equivalent parts for all repairs unless otherwise requested. Your VW gets parts we trust and install on our own vehicles.
Do you back your repairs with warranty?
Absolutely. All factory-style repairs include warranty coverage. We’ll clarify the specific coverage with every quote.
Do you service performance and modified Volkswagens?
We’re happy to provide general estimates based on symptoms, but accurate quotes come after proper diagnostics. Every job starts with a digital inspection and scan.
Can I get a quote before booking in?
Absolutely — performance is one of our core strengths. We specialize in tuned and modified Volkswagens, from daily-driven Stage 1 builds to full-track or high-power street setups. Whether it's custom tuning, upgraded turbos, or resolving drivability issues on a built car, we understand the added complexity and know how to support it properly.
