If you have a VW, I highly recommend getting it serviced here. I am not originally from here and anyone who drives a VW knows how hard it is to find a good mechanic. Mike fixed exactly what was making the dreaded noise without recommending thousands of dollars of unnecessary work. The other shop that I got the original quote from wanted to replace the front strut assembly and the sway bar end links, when all it took was the tightening of a few bolts. I had a great mechanic at home who I took my multiple VWs to for years, making it very difficult for me to find a mechanic who is just as good. I believe after just one appointment; I have become a lifelong customer.

Originally I didn't plan on typing a review and just leaving it at 5 stars after reading the low reviews. I felt it was so necessary to share my personal experience. I obviously am a female. My name is destiny Lol..well, he quoted me every single time on my 1986 cabriolet. Better than any other place that I had ever been to by hundreds of dollars.I went to him for about.I wanna say 3-4 years I had the most positive experiences with him over any place I've ever had to go to. He does such a quality job. Everything that he has suggested. I get done the first few times that I went to him. I had checked out on another place. And they told me the same things needed replacement. This created a bond of trust. I never had an issue with him being sketchy. I never had an issue with him being flirty, which happens a lot. I went to him as a young teenager which is really a hotspot for being taken advantage of in a job like this. He always got me in very quickly. Got me out just as quick. I don't think my car would have ran as long as it did if I did not find him. He treated my car like gold. I've never seen any of his other cars on his lot. Ever sit for too long unless they were needing extreme repair or his prject type cars. I personally think he is an amazing person. I think he is an amazing mechanic. And now that I have moved back into Nebraska from California, I don't plan on ever going anywhere other than here. I understand that sometimes things happen that lead to a bad experience. And I completely understand that I understand some people didn't have the best experience. One review that I read said that even though they had provided proof that the charge had gone through on the customers end it wasn't coming through on the mechanics end. And they kept their vehicle as collateral until it went through. I've had this happen to me at upscale. Dealerships, it is not unheard of it is to protect the owner. And mechanics that put hours and hours and money into correcting any issues in your vehicle. I know that it might not be an experience that 99% of people who get their vehicles fixed anywhere have to deal with but it is not unheard of I have this happen in California and here in Nebraska. Other than that, all I have to say is, if you feel like you're taking a chance going here, DONT! You are in great hands and I promise you will have a great experience like I did for so many years.

The service at Corky's is outstanding very happy with the work and the price but highly recommend any Volkswagen owner or other import owner to go there for service Mike is a good businessman and an honest mechanic

Been going here for my 03 Passat for some years now. Always reasonable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I drop it off with a time frame discussed beforehand and he’s met that timeframe every time. If you have a VW and are looking for a place to take it, look no further. Don’t listen to the bad reviews either. If you look, 2/3 are by the same guy and that lengthy one complaining about a card decline is BS. See for yourself you won’t be disappointed

Mike at Corkys has taken great care of my VW's for many years. He is very knowledgeable and fixes whatever I bring to him for a reasonable cost. Hope he never retires!

I called this clown to have my timing belt replaced on my 02 Passat. He quotes me a price to do it but he needs money up front. Never in my 60 years of life have I been asked to put money up front for mechanical work. Sketchy!!! I wouldn't take my grandchilds bigwheel to this guy after meeting him. Paranoid skits.

I want to thank Mike at Corky's for taking good care of my 1974 beetle and all of its little repairs needed after sitting in a shed for 19 years. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was helpful and patient as I typically have a lot of questions. I am grateful to find them, and plan to use them for maintenance and repairs in the future.

I'm late on this review but they fixed my mom's 71 Beetle to better than new condition when we brought it in for service in 1976. Glad to see you are still in business!

I happily drive 28 minutes across town knowing that my car is going to be in the best hands possible. My 2000 Jetta, thanks to Corkys, is thoroughly enjoying its golden years. They are always upfront about their very reasonable prices .When a business casually mentions the free oil change you'll be getting, you really feel like they gave you and the vehicles best interests at heart. 5 stars , have, and will continue to recommend!

We've taken our old VW to Corky's several times in the past year and we are always pleased with the price, service, and friendliness. Straightforward and timely service that we trust. When he quoted us a price for a big repair the final bill even come in under what was originally estimated; that's honesty.

My girlfriend took her 1989 Volkswagen Jetta here to have four struts replaced. New to Omaha, I wasn't sure where to take an old Volkswagen for repair. After a quick Google search I came across Corky's Garage. The reviews on Yelp and Google seemed favorable, so I told her to take her car here. When she took her car in Monday to have an initial inspection done, they told her she was low on oil and asked if she brought any with her because they didn't have any. What kind of repair shop asks people to bring their own oil in? This should have been the first red flag, but I let it slide. They also said she had a badly worn tire. She just got four new tires less than 10,000 miles ago. Corky's quote for parts and labor was actually a bit higher than some other quotes she had gotten, but I figured that based on the reviews, the quality of the work justified the higher quote. She went to Tires Plus the next day and had the tire replaced that they said was worn with a brand new tire. She dropped the car off today to have the work done. When she picked her car up, she was told that her card was declined. She checked her bank account balance on her phone and it very clearly showed a charge going through from Corky's Garage for the amount of her bill. After this charge she still had over a thousand dollars in her account. They refused to release her car, even after she showed them on her phone that the charge had clearly gone through and cleared her account. They said they need to hold the car as collateral until the charge shows as approved on their end, which can take several business days. So she's left without a car. They also said that she "really needed" to change that worn tire because she hadn't yet. The worn tire was replaced literally less than 24 hours before with a brand new tire. Either they didn't even bother to look and see if she'd replaced it, or they don't know what a new tire looks like (I'm going to assume the former). She wasn't even allowed to drive the car to check the quality of the work before she paid and they refused to release her car. Sketchy, to say the least. No mechanic I've ever been to has acted as strangely as the guy at Corky's. I'm very disappointed. The reviews on Yelp and Google were so positive that I thought I had found my new mechanic in Omaha. After the experience she has had, I won't let them touch any of my cars. Even if the quality of their mechanical work is great, their customer service is garbage.
