Experienced & Trustworthy Volkswagen Mechanic Needed!

Hi Moms-
I have a 2006 Jetta that I have had to replace my back break pads 3 times since I bought it. I cannot afford to have the dealer do it because it costs over $400. Does anyone know of a fabulous & reputable Volkswagen mechanic in contra costa county? Are there any other Jetta owners who have had to deal with constant break issues? Bought this car brand new.. Just don't get it! Thanks Moms!

We live in San Ramon. After getting mixed messages from the Honda dealer, we were referred to Valley Imports. They have taken care of our car ever since. We have a 2000 Honda Accord, and although not German, they do work on all cars. They tell us what exactly needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. Jeff is the best there!

Hi T.,

I lived in Lamorinda for several years, at that time I had a Jetta, Mr Lara (owner and mechanic) at the German Auto Clinic in Walnut Creek took amazing care of my car. Cheaper than the dealer but not cheap and well worth every dime.

Good Luck,
C.

My Brother is a mechanic in Benicia off 680. I am not sure if that is too far. His speciality is foreign cars. He has been fixing Volkswagens since he was a kid. He is VERY honest. Please respond and I will give you his info. His shop name is Automedic. Good luck. T.

BP atoumotive in Pleasanton is the best!!!!!. THey are trustworthy and inexpensive. The other thing I like about them is that they let you know what your car will need in the future. Example- Your brakes have another 10,000 miles left on them and will need to be replaced. They give you options and alternative solutions to problems that may be too costly to fix right now. I have been going to them for 10 years now (they used to be in Hayward and relocated to Pleasanton about 7-8 years ago.) They have service my 66, 98 and 2006 Beetles and other cars as well. Tony & Jason will take good care of you! 925-846/2025
