Re: VW Shop in N. Va. needed

How far are you willing to drive? I was recommended Deutsch American by a friend with a Mercedes, who does all hs repair there. They did a really good job for me with scheduled maintenance. They are in Ijamsville MD, just south of Frederick on I-270. 301-696-1314. It's a long drive from most of Northern Virginia, however.

Hmmm...volkswerks seems to be defunct. Their web site advertises "adult services in New Orleans." Not exactly a clutch change, but more likely to get your motor going, I guess.

If you deal with Ted at Volkswerks, never mention anything online and never EVER mention the Corrado club - he will suddenly stop returning your phone calls... too bad, he does do decent work, but he's got a serious attitude re: the Corrado list. Dunno what happened but someone rubbed him the wrong way and he apparently holds a grudge.

some shops that are OK in a pinch: WB Motors, Pickett Road, Fairfax; Auto International, Annapolis, MD (highly recommended); Ranier, College Park, MD; and a shop that I disremember the name of but it's owned by a guy named PEter and is right near the Wheaton Metro station.

I'm very close to Fairfax City - about 6 miles and drive to Frederick is also within reach. Does Deutsch American work on VW also?

Thanks for you replies.

Yes, DA works on VW. I own a VW Passat. The guy's name is Jason Alexander.

Make sure you get directions, unless you own a GPS system. He's located in a hangar at a runway near Frederick.

I think you're thinking of Wheaton Service Center on Fern St. Also, Rainers has apparently morphed into Auto Boys; not sure if they have any of the same staff as before.
