2nd time leaving 5 star review because they deserve it. Have an Audi Q5 and Das handles my maintenance. I’ve used them for new brakes and recently had the misfortune of my a/c cutting out. Das had my car back to me 1 biz day later and completed the work quickly so I wasn’t without transportation over a holiday weekend. Several times now since the ac repair, I’ve actually had to turn it down a few notches because of how cold it’s blowing. Quality work at a fair price! If you own a German car, this is your guy for maintenance needs

Brought in my BMW for inspection and oil change. Quick service, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Also cool that they include photos of the issue (leaks for example) in their estimate.

They are super knowledgeable and will explain everything clearly. You could leave your car here without a worry and know you will be treated fairly. Highly recommended!!!

What a great company. Took my brand new 2024, VW Golf R to have lowering springs, front splitter, side skirts and new rims put on. Great depth of knowledge and provided personal opinion on the style I wanted. This the best garage/mechanic/VW specialist, I have ever utilized.

Had the timing chain service as a preventive measure. All new chains/guides etc etc etc. Also had the haldex serviced. Overall job went flawlessly and haven't experienced any issues. I actually noticed a healthy jump in MPG. This shop definitely knows what they are doing with VW/Audi. Highly recommend and will be going back for more maintenance and upgrades down the road. Overall down time was 1 day. 👍

Honest and fair priced repair shop.

Dec 06, 2023

I have been to 3 shops so far with my 2015 Audi 2.0T. Josh is by far the most fair, and easiest to work with. Handled the timing chain maintenance no problems. Definately will be back for next go around. Thanks!!!!!

I highly recommend DAS Autowerks for their exceptional service and expertise. They have been extensively working on my MkIV R32, and I couldn't be happier with their honest approach, responsiveness, vast knowledge, and fair pricing. They stand out to me due to their unwavering honesty. They explain vehicle issues transparently, earning my trust and confidence in their abilities. They are also incredibly responsive, promptly addressing my concerns with urgency. Their knowledge is impressive, especially when it comes to working with R32s. They diagnose problems accurately and efficiently, providing trustworthy recommendations for repairs and maintenance. I also appreciate their commitment to fair pricing. They provide detailed estimates and ensure cost transparency, making them a reliable and trustworthy choice. If you need a skilled, honest, and responsive mechanic, look no further than DAS Autowerks. Their knowledge and fair pricing make them an invaluable asset. I am grateful to have found such a reliable mechanic for my R32.

I took my 2020 VW Tiguan to DAS to have its 80,000 mile maintenance done. What can I say. You would think I had a brand new car. It runs great & has great pickup. I would recommend this auto service to everyone.

I tried to get them to make this right but nothing has been done. I brought my BMW 7 series in for AC issue. They charged me over $100 for diagnosis but said needed to do more research to verify the issue. I've called several times no call back. It's been over a month so I had to take it somewhere else. If you can't figure out the issue you should at the very least return phone calls. Terrible customer service and ill be glad to adjust this should they make things right.

I would highly recommend DAS Autowerks. I recently installed a downpipe and exhaust for my TDI, and DAS Autowerks tuned the transmission. Not only did they perform the tune, but they also helped me troubleshoot some issues I was having with the kit I purchased. After I had left, they continued to troubleshoot with the manufacturer and discovered that I was missing a crucial sensor that should have been included with the kit. DAS Autowerks informed me of the problem and mentioned that they could obtain the part the same day. They saved me hours of chasing down codes. If you have a VW, especially with performance parts, this is the place to go.

Josh and his team are great. Good prices, fast and easy to work with. If your in the tampa area this is the place to go for you Audi/VW Needs! Thanks DAS

Someone told me about DAS autowerks years ago but I only took my car to Brandon VW since that's where I purchased my VW CC. My husband actually used to ask me why I insisted on using Brandon VW due to their high prices. But I felt like it was better to take my car to the dealership for repairs. After a not so pleasant experience with Brandon VW I told myself I wouldn't be taking my car back ever again. I decided to take a chance and take my car to DAS and I'm really glad I did. I believe I've found an honest dependable mechanic shop. I waited to write this review because I wanted to use them a few times to make sure I wasn't sing their praises too soon. Plus I'm just really sceptical of mechanics. This shop has continuously done good work. I tell everybody when they ask who does repairs on my car to take their car to DAS. My mother recently took her BMW to them and she is also very happy with their work. But hey, don't take my word for it. Take your car and see for yourself. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

This is the only shop I’ll trust with my GTI. Very knowledgeable and determined mechanics. Came in with diagnostic issues no other mechanic has been able to figure out, left with car running better than ever. You get what you pay for!!

Dec 06, 2023

Trusted these guys with car, they took AMAZING care of my car! Warning they are usually busy (cause they're good and fair pricing!). They helped me in a pinch so I was able to attend my brothers memorial service. Charged less than most shops would have, and didn't try to sell me on things I didn't need!! They're amazing and will definitely use them in the future!

Dec 06, 2023

Came in for a frame notch and they sent me home with my lower control arm COMPLETELY unbolted.

Dec 06, 2023

Integrity, honesty and professionalism is the least I can say. Outstanding technicians, fair and respectful management. Don't take your car anywhere else. This is the only place my cars will go get repaired at.

Dec 06, 2023

Josh and his team are top notch. They do fantastic work and always communicate about schedules and do their best for quick turnarounds. Thank you for the great work 🤙🏻

TL;DR - This shop is by far the WORST experience I’ve had of my life in dealing with a mechanic. The owner Josh did not and will not admit that one of his mechanics ruined a brand new turbo on my MK8 GTI. Instead of replacing the turbo like he should have done from the beginning he held my car hostage for 6 weeks until I finally gave in and bought a 3rd Turbo. 3 turbos in 2 months is not acceptable! Now let me explain,back around June 15th I blew the first turbo for this car being stupid and I totally own that. I was dumb and paid for it. $3,500 to be exact. At that time Josh advised that the MK8 Golf is so new that there was no way to fix or rebuild the turbo. Okay no problem, I had him completely replace it and paid the bill. At this point I had only good things to say about the experience.But that’s when the biggest auto repair nightmare of my life would start. When I picked the car up Josh was out of town so his partner Eddie was there instead. 2 blocks away the check engine light comes on. I bring it back to Eddie and come to find out one of them left the oil cap loose and it blew off,flying onto the side of the road and spewing oil all over the engine bay so,Eddie drives me down the road to look for it. Thank god he somehow saw it and we were able to retrieve it and put back on properly. Now I've got oil all over my engine bay so,they proceed hose it down w a pressure washer. Not the biggest fan of pressure washing my 2k mile old engine bay but okay,whatever. I’m just happy I finally got my new car back in working order. About 4 days later the brand new turbo started to whine and flutter really bad. Feeling an overwhelming sense of anxiety and hopelessness I pop off the intake pipe and what do I find? See pic 2. Yep,almost the same exact damage that the car was just in for. The thing is,anyone that knows cars knows that turbos are sealed systems when it comes to large debris. There is almost NO WAY something just happened to get into the Intake from just driving the car. What more than likely(Most definitely)happened was whoever was putting the intake back on didn’t pay attention to the rubber oring on the turbo inlet,it was forced on with half of the oring in the path of the intake where the turbo pulls in air. Just that simple,or some other debris was left in the pathway by his shop. Auto manufacturers go to great lengths to make sure that you can’t just“suck”debris into turbos,if they didn’t factory turbos would fail in this way ALL THE TIME.After a 2nd,3rd&4th opinion it is very apparent that whatever it was that caused the damage was something left in the intake area. Now,this was Josh’s make or break moment for me to see if he was an honest mechanic like his website claims or just another shady shop that won’t take responsibility for a HUGE mistake. Josh was immediately in defense mode and completely lacked any sense of accountability or empathy towards the situation. Also,the method of repair drastically changed,now all the sudden the“too new”turbo that couldn’t be rebuilt before now magically could be.It’s almost like Josh knew that telling me to pony up another 3k dollars for a completely new (3rd turbo)wasn’t going to cut it and he needed a way out while also not having to take the blame.So,the turbo was pulled out and taken to Boost Lab to be rebuilt. What Josh should have done at this time was apologetically offer to replace the turbo that his shop completely ruined but,that was wishful thinking. Now,once it was at Boost Lab the“too new”turbo excuse began to rear its ugly head once again. Boost lab first said 3 weeks, then 4, then 5. Finally,after six weeks I couldn’t go any longer w/o a car so I gave in and bought a 3rd new turbo(yep#3). Not only did I have to buy that but Josh also charged me labor to put it in. Boost Lab has yet to contact me to this day. 3 turbos later on a 4 month 2k mile old car! ThxJosh!

The owner of the company is a very respectable and friendly person! Not to mention very honest, he kept in contact with me the whole time about my 2007 VW GTI after I picked up my car. I noticed that the fog lights were not working. I text him to let him know. I took my car back although it was the bulbs he replaced them for free and he did not charge me. His employees are also very nice and respectable. I highly recommend anybody to go there.
