i have not bought anything from him but have met him and know the truth of the matter of his recent" buying of a vw shop that closed down" this is one of the fellows that uses coat hangers, silicone, and the removers of all air flaps and other parts. A real no-nothing vw fellow. They had to haul all their stull off of the site where the 80+ year old gradfather of one of this hipster's freiends had a shop for 40 years. When the old man died, it was all down hill........hard to have a successful shop when you show up whenever you feel like it, are never there when you say you are, and can't fix cars worth a hoot.

i bought my 88 from these idiots for $1000..Mind you they are the so-called vw shop..........they could not fix it...I had it running well within 2 hours. Told me motor was blown.

I work on cars that were formerly serviced by these guys all the time.....and customers walk away smiling, and so glad that their car is ready when I say it is, and that i was actually at the shop when i said I would be!

I would not depend on these guys for squat...they are what gives vw's a bad name.
