I cannot stress it enough for anyone that has a Volkswagen Audi or anything German engineering. Stop going to a dealership and come to someone who will take care of you at an astounding price. The level of care and having a master at his craft is noticed. I will definitely be back.

Armand came highly recommended, and didn t fail to hold up. Quick turn around even after asking to add a service while doing diagnostics/repairs on my older Q7. He thoroughly explained what I had thought was going on, and offered several solutions, starting with a cheaper option that may fix all my issues before jumping to the more expensive thought and it being wrong. Can t recommend enough for anyone with a German/VW product.

I m so impressed with Armand! I had an issue with my car that the dealership said wasn t covered and on his own he figured out it was and took my car to the dealership that day and I had it back that evening. He went above and beyond for me! Saved me so much money. The best! I would also like to mention - it s always so nice to call and talk to Linda She s the sweetest!Thank you for everything!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

Let's face it in today's world honesty is hard to find. I brought my daughter's VW Tiguan to Armond for a engine problem. Even though he had 40 other cars there he found time to get us in. He diagnosed the problem as the manifold a common problem I was unaware of. He called to let me know it was covered under warranty and he took it to the dealership. We are about 45 min to a hour away and I will return if any other problems come up. We will be in touch soon. Thank you for your honesty we appreciate you.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

I took my car here a few weeks ago to diagnose an issue that seemed to be a mystery to other shops. With it being a VW, I knew I could trust Armand to check it out, . When he called and told me the problems, he explained everything in detail and broke down the costs based on what he could fix now and what could potentially be affected later on, and ultimately helped me reach a decision on what to do with the car. This is very rare, and I would 100% recommend them for anything VWService: Auto engine diagnostic

Armand is incredible. Honest , fair and friendly. I ve gone to Armand for over 6 years now, and I have recommended him to friends and family. His prices are always fair and he s quick to get your vehicle back in top notch shape. Family run business with his friendly mother answering the phone. Armand does all my repairs, maintenance and yearly inspections on all my vehicles. It s nice to finally have an honest mechanic that s an expert. Thanks Armand :)

I went to Armand to ask him a question about a sensor on my GLI. He hooked up his laptop and found out there were more significant problems than I had anticipated. That's because he is a professional mechanic and I am not. He was honest with me and we talked about me going to my dealership garage (which I do not like to do) and ask about repair under warranty. Turns out, the engine is still under warranty. I will definitely be back to Dub Junkies. Good people there.Service: Engine repair

Dub Junkie Garage will always hold a special place in my heart for the years of wonderful service they offered me while I was driving a 2001 VW Beetle during college. Being an older car, there were many instances of a light coming on, a weird noise, a potential leak, etc. -- Armand always made time for me to come by so he could check it out. He gave his expert advice, cost-effective solutions, and never once took advantage of my (lack of) mechanical knowledge. Linda is an absolute gem in the office and in conversation. More than a few times, they were the reason I was able to feel safe on the road. Having sold my beetle, I think I will miss the people at Dub Junkie more than I will miss the car! These people know what they're doing, and I feel blessed to have experienced the care, honesty, and trustworthiness they bring to their work.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Vehicle safety inspection, Oil change

Armand did what many other local VW shops could not do - actually figure out what was wrong with my car. Not only that, he suggested several solutions - all of which came with fair estimates on price and zero-pressure on his part.Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

Armand is the best in the business without a doubt. He has serviced multiple cars of mine and his work is top notch! He is also very honest and saved me tons of money in repairs that I did not know fall under warranties. Hes gone above and beyond every time!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repairServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Armand goes above and beyond to make sure your car is taken care of. He worked tirelessly to clean carbon buildup out my engine valves. The car is running so much better! I've never worked with a better garage.

I HIGHLY recommend Dub Junkie! Took my Audi S4 to them for State Inspection and they were great. Very reasonably priced. If you have an Audi or Volkswagen definitely give them a call!

Brought my Passat to Armand for an engine replacement. He was upfront and honest through the whole process. He was able to find a used, low-mileage engine to significantly drop the cost. The car is running great, it s quiet and rides smoother than it did when I bought it.

Mk5 GTI needed all new motor and clutch. Done very quickly and professionally. Got it back and an ignition coil went and he took pity on me and just charged me for parts. The kind of great service I miss from small town mechanics. I'll be going back for every service my car needs and any upgrades I may look at.Tldr: Great fast service. Would highly recommend.

Would not think of taking the VW anywhere else. Armand is a highly skilled master VW mechanic- competent, honest, kind. Highly recommend. Can take a bit of time to get in but beyond worth the wait. Gratitude!

Re VW EOS engine and PEC indicator light. Called Armand after Cochran VW service estimate of >$2,100. Just based on his knowledge of the VWs, he provided options prior to seeing the car. Left Cochran and dropped off on Thursday night, he called Friday afternoon with estimate of <$500. My car was ready by 6 PM. He explained and showed me the repairs. Extremely knowledgeable, polite and thorough. I'll be using Dub Junkie for all VW service now.Services: Engine repair, Oil change

Did the timing belt and water pump on my 2003 Golf for a very fair price. Went above and beyond six months later and wrote a letter to the insurance company describing the vehicle's pristine condition after another driver ran a stop sign and totaled it. Will be coming back in the future if I have another VW.

I am ecstatic to have found a knowledgeable VW master mechanic in the area. 2 dealerships and 2 euro repair shops are closer, but I came here anyway, and am glad I did. Quicker, friendlier, less expensive, and better service by far. You can't lose! I will be bringing my GTI here for everything.

They found an annoyingly random issue we had with our Jetta. Did not think it would be so quickly fixed. Definitely will go there again.

Called in about with a question about a problem with my 2012 Beetle and informed me it was likely covered under extended warranty. I have never had work completed by their shop but I will certainly be bringing my vw's in the future after the class and ethics they showed. THANK YOU!!
