Took my car in just to install a Southbend Daily clutch. I called several times to try and talk to Aaron to get pricing prior to taking it in. He is near impossible to get a hold of, but I went ahead and took my car anyway. When I got home I notice they failed to put the plastic cover back on my engine. Fast forward two weeks, the grinding continues, so I call Aaron (again takes several different calls) and tell him of the issues. Back I go taking my car into their shop, when I get there Aaron takes the key and says that it just needs an adjustment and they will take care of it. Three days later Aaron calls and says that the adjustment didn’t help and that it is probably the shift forks or synchro. Any reputable shop would have noticed these issues while the transmission was out and told me at the time versus me finding out after I already paid over $700.

I ask Aaron what our options are and he says that they can change out the forks or synchro but it will be another $700 of labor only, So I tell him not to do anything that I will go pick it up. So I take the morning off from work to get a ride to pick it up, and when I get there the door is locked, but they see me inside. I call on my cell and tell him I am waiting outside. Rudely, Aaron sends one of his workers out to hand me the key and the worker walks off. Unreal, I spend all that time and money thinking I am working with a reputable shop and Aaron does not have the decency to go outside to have a conversation with me. Instead, he hides in his office.

I urge anyone that needs work done not to go to Aaron and his crew. They will rob you coming and going and not have the decency to meet you face to face, if you can get ahold of them at all. I will certainly never go back to that shop and I will be sure that everyone in the local VW scene knows how you all really operate. It’s no wonder that place is always empty.

This is a no BS shop, honest and trustworthy, give them a try
