I live north of Grand Rapids, MN, about an hour and 45 minutes from the nearest Volkswagen dealer. I'm looking for a cheaper, closer mechanic to service my '14 Jetta TDI, preferably someone who specializes in Volkswagens. The only independent shops closer to me that I can find service "all makes and models". I am apprehensive about taking my car to anyone who doesn't work on VWs regularly because of their complexity, and I don't know if taking it to a general mechanic will keep my car as reliable as it has been. Does anyone have any experience taking their TDI's to general mechanics? If so, what are some things I should look for/ask? Any thoughts or opinions welcome. Thanks!
