V-Dub Folks

Cheap but my car wasn’t fixed correctly (or something else was wrong?) and they wanted me to pay to have it towed again :(they finally fixed it and I haven’t had an issue since.

While I had to sell my GTI a few years ago, I did bring it to these friendly folks a couple of times. I’m posting this because these are nice people who deserve recognition.
Firstly, my distributor went out. Very quick fix, took less than a day. Secondly, my spark plugs were arcing. Again, just a couple of goes to fix. Also, very reasonably priced for both jobs.

We have been going to V Dub Folks for about 5 or 6 years. They’re quick and always available. My GTI has over 200,000 miles on it and they do the repairs to keep it going great. Oil changes are cheap. They’ll work on other cars too. I don’t feel over sold and they let me know what and why they are doing the work. They have wifi and desks in the waiting room.

All the good verbs: honest, trustworthy, friendly, knowledgeable, willing to give great advice in general.
Off the beaten path, but this is a nice facility: large, bright, comfortable waiting room with 2 comfortable cushioned chairs and 2 tall tables with bar stools perfect for working on a computer. And they have free, dependable WiFi available so you can work while you wait. There’s a Keurig machine and a 75¢ Coke machine.
Not only did I get my car serviced, but when I mentioned I might be moving away to a small town that may not have German car specialists, the guy at the desk (Ben) said to have the mechanic call him and he’d be glad to talk him through any issues.
V-​Dub Folks are like a blast from the past when you could trust people because they were just nice folk.

I have a 2004 Jetta 2.0. The car lost all electrical power while driving. No local Dallas shop wanted to look at it since it was an electrical issue. We towed it to VDub right before they closed. Early the next morning, I got a phone call saying it’s fixed and it will be $ 105 which included the diagnosed, parts & labor!!!
He also found two leaks and noticed my bushes needed repairing. He gave a great price for all 3! I will be back to get those items done next!
Lastly, they have a very kind staff that was able to help me out when I got out of work at 5pm and they closed at 5:30pm.
Highly Recommend!!!

From college, I was relocated to Texas with my high school 1999 VW bug. Needing much attention, I needed a trusted and low cost mechanic. I sure found that at VW folks. John took care of me, explaining and showing me why I needed fixings, and what i could wait on for different prevention items.

Very honest shop! Took our 05 Jetta to the dealership for an oil change and like usual they found a problem that would cost me a lot of money to fix. To make a long story short we called these guys and the price was several hundred dollars less than the dealership.
From what my husband tells me all the employees are former employees of a VW dealership.
I will only take my car to them now and no one else!

I have been taking my sick aging Westphalia camper van to these guys for 15 years and they have mostly helped it to recover and limp along some more. But sometimes it takes them a really long time. I did just start taking my Jetta to them too though, and they were quick to work on that. So, if your car is not too messed up and too hard to work on, they will get your work done quickly and for a reasonable price. I can certainly say that in 15 years v dub has never cheated me or misled me in any way, and that is worth a lot. Their prices are reasonable and they are honest. If you have a VW definitely consider them. Plus, they don’t make you watch Fox News in the waiting room like some of the dealerships…

I love these guys. They charge a reasonable hourly fee, they will explain anything and everything to you and let you SEE it for yourself, they don’t try to upsell you, and most importantly, they don’t try to screw you over. I was so happy to find them to fix my Passat Wagon — on which the last people to fix it told me I needed to replace the clutch, and that was 2 years and about 30k miles ago. These guys will let you know what they see may need to be looked at in 3 – 6 months and prioritize issues for you, which on an older car (mine just turned 10) is important. Totally trustworthy, friendly, and helpful!
