Guys I have tried to call the only person I know Daniel but can't get a phone call returned. I will be in need of a 120K service on a 2013 Passat SE soon and need some help as I am in SC and zip is 29690 and can not find anyone else near me and do not want to take it to the dealer. I have had work in the past and paid what was wanted always on time. Don't know what is going on???????????????
Anyone can help?

Don't expect someone to find you here.
Try our list (in my signature), local groups, referral services like car-talk or angie.
We also have regional forums- South Eastern USA
all ready listed in southeast could you pm me about car-talk or angie sorry don't know what you are talking about there.
Thank You

Did you search the SE forum?
Go to CarTalk.com and AngiesList.com, others, search mechanics, then research those names for one with TDI experience.
Maybe contact user DanG144 and ask for a referral, he's in SC I believe.

yes both including text and vmail as well
Ok, thought it might help but sounds like the same issue I have around Charlotte. There are listed mechanics but none that seem to want anymore business. At least VW of South Charlotte has improved dramatically over the last 17 years. There are or have been a few employees there that are also frequent posters on here.

I'm now in Virginia Beach - I'm willing to take on customers starting in March 2017. I have a place to work.

Also - TDIJetta99 / Dignardi - man.... could you do my rear axle bushings like I seen you do at Ho5G? I've done rear axle bushings a handful of times and each time I wanted to cry. Damned calcium chloride.

You talking about Appalachian Diesel Works? Daniel getś busy (works alone) and can be hard to get a hold of from time to time... Did you leave a message? Keep trying, heś a great mechanic.

I have taken the TDI to my normal trusted gasser mechanic for normal service (Daniel is a ways from me and less practical), and never had an issue... as someone said ¨itś not rocket science¨ so ask if you have someone who is good... A good mechanic and google can do just about anything!

Cheers!

You may need a VW/Audi expert, but probably not a TDI expert.

Please remove me from the Trusted Mechanics List as I have retired from car work. I have previously attempted PM and email to get this done with no success.

Thanks,

Aj's automotive service does a really good job. They are located in Ann Arbor mi. One of there techs did a automatic to manual conversion for me. No issues.
There is a standard format for these recommendations. Without more information, how is another TDI owner going to find or contact this shop?

I recently had my injectors worked on by Mark Talbot of Berryville VA. I found the problem (copper washer seal wasn't cleaned and seated properly) and shot Mark an email and he had me come in and he replaced all the washers within the hour. I was in and out just like that! I highly recommend Mark. Great guy and great service.
Thanks!
