What shop(s) do you guys recomend for volkswagens?
Just wondering because one of my freinds got an R32.

 

I know of a Volkswagen/Audi specialty shop in Falls Church called Volkwerks. However, whenever I saw the vehicles that they were working on, it looked like they were more of a general maintenance/repair service that specialized in those cars rather then an aftermarket performance shop. I can't vouch for the quality of their work.

EIP Tuning does a lot of Euro performance. However, they are in MD...if I remember correctly they are NW of Baltimore actually. It must have a decent reputation because I have heard NOVA Volkswagen people mention the place...I stake my thoughts about the reputation based on the fact that if they are willing to drive that kind of distance for work, then it must be good work. But again, I can't vouch for their work, and for all I know, the NOVA Volkswagen people could all be talking about a different EIP Tuning shop.

I know its not much help, but maybe these shop names will get you somewhere or will encourage others on this board to speak up about their dealings with the shops and/or what they have heard about them.

 

most of your vw tuner shops are gonna be up in MD, it sucks, but its well worth it if what your doing is what you want. I was gonna post earlier about EIP but i figured that was a given, check up in the Regional Forums > Capital section on Vwvortex.com Im certain the guys there can give you good places to check out.

 

thanks

I'll let my friend know and ask if he knows of any himself... I'm also thinking about getting a GTI

Choosing are car is hard man I've changed my mind like 3,000 times.

 

Porsche Pitstop, Currys can do some mods for ya

 

ah yes currys, you can get your car chipped there, they do GIAC i believe...but you have to call in if you go do that because they have like only one guy that does the actually chipping and he goes back and forth between NoVA and Richmond in doing that kind of work. I think currys is in sterling right?

 

a great shop which has them all the time and i take my mk2 gti to, is Edsall Auto Service, 5750-d General Washington Drive. phone number 703 916 7700 main guy is freddy works on many r32's 1.8t and can do virtually any custom job if it pays right. just say Ara G. recomended you

but dubs arent the only cars we work on any cars from 93 hatcback civics to 67 camaros and 06 bmw's remeber just call or come check it out and say Ara G. recomended you.

 

if i had a dub , id never go to eip. my friend has his whole vr6 block ported and polished and they kept it for 7 months and stalled and stalled until he actually went up there.

now currys... all i hear about them is amazing service and good ppl to work with
