Im sure matt doesnt need any MORE testimonials, but i just wanted to say how GREAT of a job matt did on my '03 Eurospec Golf yesterday!! Honest and knowledgable, his prices are better than any shop!!
New quiet clutch SMF, trans mount, dogbone, rebuilt inner CV joint, replaced missing bolts, fixed other stuff too. Car drives better than new!!!
I have two TDi's and matt is the ONLY one that touches either of them. I wish he was moving south instead of north.. :|
STAY AWAY FROM UNITED DIESEL IN EL MONTE, CA.

lol, not moving--yet. Just have been toying with the idea of going closer to the Bay Area. I get far more work there than any place else. Would be nice to not have to drive so much at some point.
There are no plans being implemented, just thinking about it and tossing ideas out there to a few people

To paraphrase Monty Hall: "Come on UP!" (though I'd prefer you closer to Sacramento and Northern California)lol, not moving--yet. Just have been toying with the idea of going closer to the Bay Area.

Bay area is over populated. Stay where you are. You are already centrally located to access both the Bay area and Los Angeles county. Just advertise more and wait it out your clientel will grow with time. You have only been in SM for how long 2 yrs? Give it another 2 yrs before making that decision. Thats what I would do. Plus the cost of living up there is more. FYI

So is Southern California. However, Northern California isn't, so forget BOTH Southern California AND the Bay Area; come to Northern California.

I'm just waiting for my stock clutch to wear out before calling you for my next set of work. I already have over 100k on the clutch. Gonna do injectors and clutch when it goes. I forgot where do you get your parts from Matt? You get discounts right? I know I can get discount in the vendor group buy section also. What is your favorite clutch for light mods like injectors and tune? Glad to know you are also doing tunes also! How are the Malone tunes? What are the prices on clutches and injectors and labor and all? I'm on a budget this year big time so might just do the clutch first since my factory injectorys seem to be spraying fine! How do you like the ulsd injectors from that place in colorado? Can you get ULSD injectors?

thinking of moving closer to the bay area or in the bay area???? well i am sure there are many people that would help you to move.......myself included.
i actually know a guy who is a vw mechanic (gasser focused), is looking to get out of his business, which is located in san jose.
food for thought.

Well, the last times I was driving through Central California whether on SR99 or I-5, it was very hot and dusty. As Southern California, the Bay Area, and the Eco-freaks get their way, Central California will become drier and the land unusable.
When Alta California is finally separated from the PRC, we will be able to restrict the theft of our water. Any in excess of Alta California's needs will be available for anyone to buy at not less than $20/gallon.

Were not near the 5. Probably 40 miles towards the coast with a nice marine layer each morning. Check out a map. Water is also cheap here.

Before we all take this thread too far off topic. Let's remember this is about Matt making a living and all of us getting the services of a very talented TDI mechanic ( to use an old term).
Anyone needing great service needs to talk to Matt. You will get the straight scoop. AND work done right.

That lease for the big space? It's over $3k/month!
