An edit for the spreadsheet: for what is shown in North Carolina, change Import Motor Werks to 105 Woodwinds Industrial Court, Cary, NC 27511 919.439.3321 and their website is https://importmotorwerks.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=gmb

Please update Wolfsburg Automotive, new address at 5331 Summer Ave, Memphis, TN 38122 , upgraded larger shop about 2 or 3 yrs ago. There is no better place in the Memphis, North Mississippi, SE Arkansas for VW TDI than Wolfsburg in Memphis TN. They are an Independent Audi/VW/Porsche repair shop with Factory Trained Techs, who can do routine maintenance to big repairs, troubleshooting and restoration. Their prices are fair and Jim Boyd and Patrick Findley are the owners and gear heads. Why do I recommend them? Dealing with them for 10 yrs never disappointed. The only issue I found is they can get booked out for a few weeks during busy times of year. However they have more Techs than the Local VW dealer. They are good.

Jim and Patrick opened Wolfsburg Automotive in 2008, because they felt a strong need for an Independent German car repair shop in Memphis - a shop providing quality service, but could also help ease the blow to the pocket book when trying to maintain a German car.

They took my business after Stuttgart Autohaus, which I found on the list, told me they no longer service cars older than 2005.
Chris talked to me about the work they did and the reasoning behind decisions in some depth. Although I've only gone there for diagnosing shifter problems and a bushing replacement, they were knowledgeable and obviously familiar with my ALH.

To add a note about Stuttgart Autohaus (614 E Glenn St, Tucson, AZ 85705),
Stuttgart changed hands some time ago and regrettably the work I've gotten had declined as well. A few months before they said "nothing older than 05" I brought my 2001 jetta in and asked to replace all worn vac hoses, and ended up replacing all of them myself as several visibly cracking hoses were not replaced and one had been replaced with a bit of fuel line.
Judging by the reviews, I'm sure they still do good work on newer cars, but I would be a little wary.

Looking to be added to the Member Recommended Mechanics List or have someone you want added?

There are many that ask how does one get on this list.
I will do my best here to help you understand what it takes.
After reading this, if you have any further questions, feel free to PM me.

First and foremost this is not a list for any and all mechanics.

If you are a TDIClub Vendor, this does not mean you bypass the rules below.

It's for Member Recommended Mechanics, specifically TDI Specialty mechanics.

The formula to qualify for this list is quite simple.
You must prove competent in repair & maintenance of our baby's that we paid a lot of hard earned money for.
You must use the right tools.
You must do things BY THE BOOK as VW intended.
This means using the right tools.

Secondly, you must not go replacing a turbo thinking its going to fix the car. You need to KNOW it's going to fix it. This is our hard earned money, remember? If the turbo is truely the problem, does the whole thing need replaced? This is an assembly. This means lots of parts on there that could be replaced rather than the whole assembly.

We look for member vouches on a mechanic to get on this list. How many we need may vary. If we have a high level technician on the forum here that refers a mechanic, chances are its going straight on the list. Otherwise we need more than one person to give a good word.

If you are referring, please be sure to have the confidence in whether this mechanic is doing things by the book and using the right tools. This means you gotta have knowledge of the manufacture's procedures yourself.

Also, be descriptive on why you are referring. Be sure to cite facts on proving to us this person should be on the list. Let us know what the symptoms were, what work was done, what tools were used, how much was charged. Does this shop specialize in only TDI’s, all European, any car on the road type shop.

Please utilize the following format when listing the shop:
ABC Shop
123 Road
City, State Zip-code
(123) 456-7890
ABC@shop.com
Any short blurb you may feel is relevant for the list

BTW, please post this rather than private message so others may comment.

Edge Motorsports
4065 W 11th Ave # 22
Eugene, OR 97402
(541) 242-3343
edge-motorsports@hotmail.com

This is more of a request to update shop name and location for a trusted TDI mechanic already showing on the map.
Springfield German Import is no longer open. The mechanics that worked there opened their own repair shop in Eugene Oregon.
They are the only mechanics in the area that I trust with my VWs. They have all the right tools and all the right knowledge. They specialize in VW, Audi and BMW but will work on other vehicles if needed.
Please consider adding them to the trusted TDI mechanics map.

Looking for a TDI Mechanic near Los Angeles/ San Gabriel Valley - Thank you

I've found LA county a bit of a wasteland for good TDI repair shops. It's a ways from you, but a customer recently told me about having a good experience with his TDI at this shop in El Cajon: https://european-auto-repair-specia...ness.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral Might at least be worth a phone call.

I suggest looking for a well-regarded independent VW/Audi shop, which I suspect will be easier to find in Orange County than Los Angeles County (because the legal environment for small businesses sucks in LA).

The #1 Independent European Auto Specialist in Austin. No one comes close to Brink Motorsports when it comes to German automotive repair and service.

Been bringing my Audi S4 to him since 2012.
Specializes in VW, Audi, Porsche. Had his shop do my timing belt services and a CP3 swap.
Highly competent, highly recommend

Garnet VW - West Chester, PA (45 minutes southwest of Philadelphia). I cannot say whether they are good for normal VW 4-cyl TDI Jetta/Golf/Passat, but I can say I trust them wholeheartedly with my 2016 Touareg TDI.

their shop foreman is a Touareg guy who owns a V10 T1 and a V6 T3. He knows the Touareg platform in and out as well as the TDI motors offered between the two generations. He brings me in the shop bay to prove to me how good condition my car is in mechanically - pointing out how good shape the underbody is in etc. he does perfect alignments. He makes me feel good about my car, and knowing that it’s well taken care of by someone with specialized knowledge and passion for the platform.

 

[Lightflyer1]

Daughter has a P0322 code that just came up. Going to try Brinks I think. Oil change needs done and it looks needed or better to have the filter out of the way anyway, and check/fix/replace the Engine Speed Sensor (G28).

Iowa Mechanic Wanted

I noticed that there are no mechanics listed in Iowa. Does anyone know how I can locate a reputable mechanic other than using the local Dealership I purchased from.

Many thanks!!

CycloneTurboHead

There is one by Frytown. I did find a map of where he is. unfortunately My computer shut down and I'm looking for it again. If you have any luck I would appreciate it if you would let me know.

 

[dieseler]

Moving to NW Arkansas. Any recommendations for a mechanic when I need one for my 2003 ALH?

 

[dieseler]

Nothing? May use one of the traveling techs if anyone has a ref. Thanks all.

 

[BobnOH]

It's not like there are thousands out there. Plus many mechanics are not heavy interweb users. Looking at the map, you'd need to go out of state.
But check other resources for leads. Local car enthusiast groups and such.

 

[TornadoRed]

From NW Arkansas your best choice are all north toward Kansas City: Cool Air VW, Ben's TDI Service (who used to travel, don't know if he still does), or Glen's VW Repair. TDI Mechanics

California:

Matt's A Plus Car Care 7322 Autopark Dr, Huntington Beach, CA 92648

I trust Matt Torian with my car so much, I towed my car a few days ago from my home all the way to his shop (70 miles) because it turned out I had a damaged hose that goes into the turbocharger. I was leaving my driveway towards work Friday morning and realizing the car would not accelerate and the coil light turned on. I first found him on this forum maybe like 5 years ago and I thank the person who put his name out there. I've had bad luck with the local shop when living in Whittier and with the local dealer. Not with Matt. He's been consistently solid with the quality of his work and his prices are fair.

Anyone in texas that is familiar with Manual Conversions? Will also consider surrounding states, or others if I have a way to get there.
