The mechanic was a nice gentleman and the curtosey car was a nice gesture. Unfortunately the service was a disappointment. I was quoted $900 to fix a timing belt. After he completed the said repairs, the car still did not start, and I came to find out that a compression test was never run before the repairs. I towed my car out of the shop in the same condition I brought it there in, minus $900. I was not happy, I would not take my VW back here and I really wish I could get my money back.
I am so sorry the way things worked out for this VW. Her dad had given her the car at 40,000 miles. It now has 170,000 and a timing belt had never been done according to the customer. This was the 1st time we had seen the car. Whoever had been doing the oil changes should have told her when the timing belt should have been done. It should have been done at 105,000. Also, she said we should have done the compression test before. You have to be able to turn it over to conduct the compression test. Also, this is an interference engine and should have been done at 105K Still I am sorry and wish there was something I could do.
