Hi,
Does anyone know of any good, honest, independent mechanics or shops that specializes in VWs located in the NYC area? My 2000 Passat is behind on it's recommended 40K service (tune-up, oil change, check belts, etc). The dealers I called all want $400 or so for this service, which I think is outrageous; plus I just don't trust these guys. I would like to find an independent shop that could do this service at hopefully a lower price.
Do you think any old auto repair shop can do this type of work, e.g. midas, etc.? Is it even necessary to have a mechanic that is familiar with VWs to do this work?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
Jon
