either way for big jobs, I will go elsewhere.

like I said I have no bias towards him ... he didn't exactly do the greatest job to be honest ... overfilled the oil in my car and my intercooler hose popped off on my way home as it was not secured properly.

I am just stating facts, to each his own.

Shhhhhhh.......

One must be carefull of what one says in threads like these... One slip and it could call forth the dreaded "Thread-Lock Hammer of Doom"......

Questioning the ability of ******** or ******* may be just the ******* needed to call forth the dreaded Hammer....

Oooooooo.... The Hammer....... the hammer..........

The great thing about this forum is you will learn about the choices you have.

Or had. Sometimes the nose doth spite the face

 

[TDIMAXIMA]

HEHEHEHEH. The great thing about experience is you already have it.

People always wish for more time and not money right before they’re going to die.

the thing you lack from not going to the dealer is missing out on the RVUs the dealer performs. find a dealer where you can be with the mechanic through the whole service.

Just had my tdi serviced by brandon. Couldnt be more satisfied with the work and expertise. If youre looking for a place to get things done right, dcb is the way to go. If youre looking to penny pinch then go elsewhere but keep in mind that you may be at risk for a major f*ck up. Shoulda bought a yaris or fit if youre looking to keep maint. cost low.

Or learn how to do it yourself and don't rely on anyone.

The funny thing is that Brandon joined this forum as a vendor (I believe) and I don't think he joined under the misconception that everyone is going to be happy with him. It's quite apparent a lot of you love his work and a few of you don't. I myself would go with the majority.

I've only dealt with him once and it was a good experience with some solid free advice over the phone.

I believe defending him is a good thing, to a point. From the looks of things he won't lose any business to anyone from the little negative feedback he gets.

My only issue here is that some of you are obviously close to Brandon. Friends I would think from the posts that I've read in other forums. It is hard to remain unbiased if this is the case.

Cheers all and see the FS thread. I have a 2004 wagon 5sp on there for sale.

And if nothing else, in the doldrums of a soggy January....it keeps the forum alive.
