seems a bit far. looking for something close. doesnt have to be a VW or euro specific shop, just a shop with a good rep that can work on vws.

I have always gone to terry's service center on new falls and tyburn in l-town for stock stuff. He's very experienced and knowledgable with vw's and honest. But... he is a perfectionist so if he's working on your car and sees something else wrong, he'll likely fix that as well. Also, he's not a reccomended choice for any performance mods. Anyway, I've known him for years and the stuff you mentioned is well within his capabilities. Other than that, I know a lot of people like volkstech in Jersey. Never been and the only time I called the person seemed a bit rude, but I know many like them.

Please only create one thread for this topic. I have merged your two threads because they were the same thing.

That shop would be Terry's vw. He only likes doing old school vw's. Its at the end of new falls rd. He calls Tommy for anything newer. Just ask Tommy John. It won't bite.

Bill Shimmel (hopefully correct spelling) is REALLY sick with V.Dubs, located in the Ivyland area... You will pay a little bit but for excellent quality work from someone who knows a lot about the variety of problems and issues involving VW's..

Haha, go to Schimmel for chains and a gasket, and you'll end up coming out with a 40r and 500hp. And on Terry, while he may have a preference for working on the older vw's, I know that he does work on mk3's and mk4's, as well as late model benzes. To what extent, i am unaware. However, that Tommy cat sounds like a winner, give 'em a buzz if you have'nt already done so.
