We are lucky in NH to have some great shops that know TDIs. Here are a few. All are TDI Club members:


Merrimack Meinekee, 227 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack, NH 03054 (603) 429-0679

This must be the only Meineke in the country that advertises they service TDIs! Owner Scott Wallace is TDI Fanatic and owns 3, including a wild Twin Turbo A3. He knows the cars and has helped many members with mechanical and custom exaust service.




Dupont's Service Center, 28 Sumner Dr, Dover, NH 03820 (603) 742-8627

I first met owner Dave Dupont in 1990 when he already had a reputation for being one of the most advanced shops in the area. Dave has expanded and invested extensively in Factory level equipment plus finding and training superb techs. This would be a top choice shop for any make vehicle. If you bring in your TDI, most likely long time TDI club member Chris Smith (pictured above) will service it. Chris has an A3 with RC3 and he really knows our cars.




Reflex Tuning, 65 Londonderry Turnpike, Hooksett, NH 03106 (603) 232-1143

Doug Pauley and partner Heather Zaccone (yes, she is a tech!) have been specializing in VW - Audi since 2000 and have extensive knowledge of all the models, including TDIs. They have just moved to a new, larger facility (Rte 101W Exit; 1 and go one mile north on 28 Bypass). Well equipped shop plus huge waiting room with leather sofas, big TV, X-Box, etc. If you are in the Manchester area, you want to check the place out.




Tremblay's Last Chance Garage, 636 North Mast Rd. (Route 114) New Boston, NH 03070 (603) 529-5510
Rich has finally realized his dream and opened a shop where he intends to specialize in TDIs. Shown here, he is standing beside his 422,500 mile 2000 Jetta. He is going through the pains of starting out, but is really eagar to please TDI owners in particular. He is having a GTG Saturday, March 27 at the shop from 12 - 4pm. Shop is an easy drive from Manchester, just a few miles from the center of Goffstown.

If you need non-ECM related work to your TDI, Steve Boutwell at Boutwell Automotive in Peterboro, NH does AWESOME work at a way better price than pretty much anywhere. He's honest, hard-working and will share a beer with ya after knock-off. He installed my huge turbo and has done all of my brake work. Can't recommend him enough.

I just called Reflex Tuning about finding some tripple squares, they recommended a place Robbins Auto Parts, they should cary a 4 piece kit by wiles. I called up the store in Concord had low and behold they have a 4 piece kit by wiles on the shelf, it'll have my name on it and ready for me to pick up tonight. Yeah for RSB switch out.

Herm is in Maine, but not to far away from the NH ME border.

another suggestion

I recommend Precision Imports in Manchester (183 Faltin Drive, Manchester NH 03103). Tel 603-624-1113

They are a Bosch service facility and one of their mechanics, Josh Weatherbee, used to work at a VW dealership.

Josh performed the conversion of my balance shaft from chain to gears and has done routine maintenance on my b5 Passat and Touareg V10.

Bosch Service Facility - what does this mean? Do they rebuild alternators & starters, or do they just r&r complete assemblies just like I would?

You can become a "Bosch Auto Parts Specialist" or BAPS for short by simply signing up for the program. They offer incentives for purchasing a lot of bosch products and offer information and updates for their expansive line of products.

This might be what he means, or may be something else....

I've never been here, but Lakes Diesel Injection specialists in on 3A Bow NH 1800-995-2537, are Stanadyne dealers, and their prices for additives are cheaper than IDParts.com. They also have Bosch signs all over their building. My guess is they are more for big rigs but I'm sure they'd entertain us little guys.

Lakes

Lakes in Bow I have done business with - they are a good shop for what they do, but they are strickly a mechanical shop. They can r/b TDI injectors, but definitely not the way that Drivbiwire does. Also they send TDI pumps out. To who exactly, I can't get them to say for sure but I strongly suspect it is D&W. Better just to go to D&W right from go.
