I purchased the 02Q 6speed swap clutch kit with flywheel, and the install was straight forward. I received an email the same day my package arrived with torque specs for the components. The item came very quickly; which was surprising since it traveled clear across the country. And I'm very happy with the performance of the products. Highly recommend!

I'm extremely thankful for Lee and James at Four Season Tuning for fixing my car's brakes with such short notice. I found myself in a last-minute car trouble situation, and they were able to address the issue within the hour. They have consistently provided the best service for myself and many other I know. I highly recommend their team for their reliability and professionalism.

When it comes to taking care of my Mk4 GTI VR6 there is no better place than Four Season Tuning. The team are knowledgeable & Experts in all things German vehicles and will take the time to explain/educate you on what your car may need to stay running strong. Look forward to bringing my car here for many more miles to come.

James, Daniel, and Lee are some of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy technicians I know. My go to whenever I need assistance with my car or just have a general question they will never leave me with a question unanswered. They have worked on my Mk6 Golf R from top to bottom and I rest easy whenever I know my car is in their hands, no matter how full their shop is they always make room for my car. Thank you James and everyone at Fourseasonstuning.

I bought a R32 Mk5 out of state with a number of problems and brought it to a couple of places until I found Four Seasons. My car had a lot of problems with emissions, suspension and overall performance. The diagnosis and fix a major issues without charging a fortune. The also gave me a list of other items that could wait to help out with my budget. I highly recommend them for all your VW and Audi needs. James and crew are amazing as they are very supportive, honest and knowledgable. Simple put they are the only place I will ever bring my cars for service and repair.Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning

This place is a joke. They don't know what they are doing and will give you headaches. I spent almost 10k here to have them install the turbocharger, intercooler, watermeth kit, and together with the tuning. The turbocharger and intercooler was installed with no issue, but the watermeth was failing an leaking so the inside of the car smelled methanol. Took it back so they can fix it but after a couple week it was leaking again. The tuning is a nightmare. They worked with this guy named Kyle (@kyletunedit)that did the tuning on my car and the car constantly went into limp mode when in wide open throttle or when under hard accelerations. They kept blaming it on the fuel system and that its not their fault. But I have tried to tell them that it is the tuning that doing all of that as i also knew a couple of people running the same upgrades without any limp mode problem. I spent an extra 5.5k with a different tuner and he was able to retuned my car remotely and never had any limp mode issue. The car was a lot smoother and much much more powerful than that guy Kyle's tune. Besides these headaches, they also damaged my car's front bumper and rear diffuser that I newly bought and installed. I tried asking them to partially refund me the tuning portion as it had failed miserably and the damages that they caused to my car's cosmetically so i can get it repaired but James the owner would not willing to do so. He told me to ask that kyle guy for refund but I told him that it is his responsibility not mine because he chose him to be their tuner and worked with him directly. This place is a joke don't waste your time and money here. IT's more like you have to look at their negative reviews and see what others have to say about them. IT is very accurate! SHAMEFUL

Seriously the best place you could possibly take your car. James was super helpful and was upfront about any issues my car was having and was honest about the solutions. Overall my experience was amazing! Left with a fixed car and for once not feeling scammed out of money :)

FourSeason Tuning is an honest shop and they perform excellent work! I highly recommend!! James goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about his customers. He took care of me after being stuck and guided me with a tow tuck fiasco - then finally got down there and they had my car up and running with a new battery in a timely fashion! Thank you James for working with my situation last week, you truly helped me in such a difficult time in my life and are greatly appreciated!

The crew here is great. I brought my car in bad condition with modifications from another tuner, and it came out running better than ever. James was very communicative and knowledgeable, letting me know what issues I had, and not only made recommendations for better quality parts but asked for my input on how I would like certain things to be tweaked based on my personal preferences. He updated me live through text and photo on the progress of my cars repair and retune.Great shop to take your car with a personal touch I ve rarely seen from other shops.

James and the crew are great guys who do great work. I did all of my modifications, tuning, and repairs through Four Season and could not be happier with how everything has turned out. Although I do not own a Volkswagen anymore they still give me good advice for my modification plans.Services: Transmission, Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Transmission repair, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Auto brake repair, Vehicle Inspection, Transmission repair, Brakes, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

Hands down the best and most honest shop. I ve been going here since 2012 with the mk6 GTI and now my Audi. Both cars have ran perfectly after mods and routine maintenance. James is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The first time I was there I left my sunglasses and they called me after letting me know to come back and get them. Couldn t recommend them more.

These clowns have zero clue what they're doing, payed $1,300 to replace fans that didnt even need to be replaced, then he has the audacity to ask for another $1,200 so he can try it again. Dont bring ur car here unless u wanna pay thousands for it not go even get fixed. His guy Lee he picked up from home depot has no clue what he's doing either. Couldn t even complete an oil change.

James and crew are the goats. Finished a full clutch job (plus some) in less than two days, and left me confident in leaving the car with them from the moment it was dropped off.As someone who is obsessive over finding mechanics who understand the nuances of particular makes/models, I would not hesitate to return to Four Seasons for future work. Highly recommend!

Called my Porsche mechanic to see if he knew of anyone who worked on VW s. He told me to call Four Season Tuning ..so of course I googled and looked at reviews and decided to call. I spoke to the owner, James, and gave symptoms/codes/etc. and the genius diagnosed right over the phone exactly what was going on. I gave him the year, 2008, and he knew exactly which VW engine. So, I was feeling really good about it. Dropped the car at 10am, picked it up around 12pm the next day and the car runs like a champ!!! James now has a new customer for life!!Great guy, savant-like knowledge, pristine work, and fast turnaround.

I have had maintenance, repair and mods done at Four Seasons. No issues with any of the work that was done, nor the cost. I wanted an APR tune and James told me I had to do the DSG tune as well. I couldn t be happier with this advice. Car is awesome and I just love driving it.

James and his shop are tops!!! I drive (or tow) all the way from the IE for all repairs and mods. The shop knows their VW/Audi platforms, and their work is solid. No one else is allowed to touch my audi but them.

James is legit.Four Seasons threw on an APR intercooler, is38 and a racing clutch/flywheel/plate. Everything ran fine until warm up when the clutch was depressed, it made a certain squeally noise.I sent a video and James was quick to diagnose it. It was the thrust bearing on the 2017s, a hybrid of polymer and steel, and couldn t handle the pressure.Now many shops these days would try to make it a fault of the car, and the original part on the car, and probably try to charge you extra but James was legit, asked me to bring it in and they replaced the bearing for me with no extra charge.Shops that have that old school spirit are hard to find these days, Four Seasons is the spot.Services: Transmission, Auto engine tuning, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Great service, very accomadating and excellent knowledge about what they are doing. I brought my R32 in from San Diego for a long list of maintenance and improvement items. James and his team first off did an amazing job on the work. My R32 feels better than it did when I bought it 35k miles ago.Plus James' estimate on the labor time needed was within 1 hour and so he gave an accurate estimate of the total cost. They kept me up to date with the progress of the work and made good recommendations on other issues they found to address or parts to use. Finally, they worked with me and my schedule to allow me to easily drop off and pick up the car.Overall, I am very happy with my experience and the quality of the work.

Highly recommended. James and the guys run a tight ship and do great work. I've had my Mk4 R32 since new, 60k miles currently, so it has a lot of sentimental value. Wouldn't bring it anywhere else. I'd say it's OEM++ (cams, headers, euro suspension, front and rear Peloquins, AP brakes, and smaller parts) and it's reassuring to go to a shop that has lots of experience with highly modified vehicles. A less hardcore car like mine is no big deal for them to keep running beautifully and troubleshoot any issues that come up as parts age. James has encyclopedic knowledge of everything VW/Audi from the 80s to today so any questions you might have are often answered on the spot. If not, he follows up and explains everything in detail. Even the alignment shop he referred me to noticeably improved the balance of the car during weekend canyon drives. If you love your car, bring it here.Services: Transmission, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Brakes, Oil change

I purchased a clutch kit from James and had fitment issues with a used flywheel I had purchased. James went above and beyond to confirm fitment, source bolts and give me tips on a proper install. If I could give four seasons 10 stars I would. Fast shipping, great quality parts, and amazing customer service goes very far with me. Highly recommended and will definitely be sending a lot of my customers their way.

James and the guys have been great! Highly recommend 4Seasons Performance Tuning. I have a Volkswagen Passat with 100,000 miles (German car maintenance required). James has had all the right suggestions & fixed a transmission jerking & shifting issues others including the dealer wouldn't or couldn't fix! Doug

I had a tune put on my R32 which turned out to be horrible.I came back and instead of providing a refund, he said simply "I'm not going to charge you to put it back to stock". Avoid this ripoff artist.UPDATE:In his reply the owner reveals more about his dishonesty and lack of character. He states you owned the car for years". In fact I owned the car for a just over 6 months which I can easily prove! I came back shortly after the tune was performed.In any case, it is what it is. Just go somewhere else.
