I have some work I need done on my 2000 Jetta, (timing belt change, and some performance upgrades) and am wondering if there is anyone near the St. Clair Shores area ? I know there's Marty B (TDI trusted mechanic) but he's at least an hour and a half (one way) from my house. If he's my only choice I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Well it looks like Marty is it... as soon as I can get the car in. I picked it up last Friday and haven't driven it since. Can't wait to get all the stuff done.

Grand Rapids is like 3 hours away... I live in St Clair Shores which is on Lake St Clair , north of Detroit.

For those that have used Marty B , how long does it usually take to get a vehicle in for some work ?

I've been to his place twice. Both times were pretty easy to schedule. One time last year, I was having some major turbo issues and he saw me that evening.
Has anyone spoken to him lately? I'm actually looking to have some suspension work done. I've called and emailed, but haven't heard back.

I'm at 696 and 94 but I'm no guru. If you need help with basic stuff, oil changes, fuel filters, intake cleaning, etc I can assist. I also Drive to Marty's as needed for timing belts, suspension, nozzles, etc.

Kirchner,
I actually talked with him briefly , I think he's really busy. I waited around 3-4 days for a reply on when and how much then just decided to save the money and do things myself. Between him and the guy in Grand Rapids (kirk) I think they have a ton of work.

Jason,
I'm at 9 and harper. I decided to just do it all myself. I have the car apart at the moment , things are going pretty good.... although it isn't running yet !
