VAS Motor Works

Oct 09, 2024

The short version: I can't say enough positive things about Kenny and VAS Motor Works. They are friendly, knowledgable, honest, and efficient. Would highly recommend them. The long version: My MK7 Golf had a check engine light for an intake air leak, and another nearby shop quoted $8800 to replace the intake manifold, PCV, injectors and do a carbon cleaning, as well as replace the coolant expansion tank. That price seemed ridiculous, so I called Kenny at VAS, who said they'd usually charge less than 1/3 for the same work. I brought the car to VAS, and they did their own diagnoses, and found the air leak to be just the PCV and the coolant leak was from a cracked hose, not the expansion tank. 24 hours later, my car was back on the road and running great for less than 1/5th the original quote from the other shop. Huge thanks, you've gained a new forever customer for VW and Audi work!

Feel super comfortable having Kenny take care of my Audi A3. Love finding a spot that I can trust

I am very pleased at the service to my Audi 2014 Q7 that had a tire pressure sensing failure. They figured out the problem quickly, and solved it quickly.

Kenny is an engaging individual who guided me thru recommendations for my lady friend's daughter's Tiguan. Living in Southern California and having a reliable mechanic 400 miles away is invaluable. His observations and maintenance recommendations were spot on, very collaborative and the daughter felt comfortable. Everything was explained nicely -- and priced-out well. The daughter's "treasured" Tiguan will continue to seek his shop's treatment in the future. So might my Golf R when I make it to San Francisco. A great experience.

Great work great price and they knew what they were doing. I had my new audi q3 serviced here after having a not so great experience at the Audi dealer. This was also significantly cheaper.

I was looking for a trustworthy Audi mechanic in the city, and heard about VAS from a fellow enthusiast. They’ve been great at communicating throughout the repair process and setting expectations for the cost before doing any work. It’s also rare for a mechanic to appreciate my knowledge of the car and take my perspective into account, and VAS definitely does that. Highly recommend!

Kenny is very friendly and explains things so that it’s understandable to anyone. The work is excellent and reasonably priced. I’m glad I found VAS Motor Works.

As someone who has owned and worked on Audi/VW cars my whole life, this team cannot be beat. They have extensive knowledge of every single vehicle and drivetrain and will do the job the right way every single time. I wouldn't trust my cars with anyone else.

Kenny helped us out so immensely. He was very nice and helped us understand the details to make a good decision along the way. Hope we don't have any more troubles with our EOS but if we do we'll come back again immediately

VAS Motor Works keeps my GTI running tip-top! I definitely recommend their services.

Kenny was super nice and seems like a very honest person. My car went in for service and he went through everything found a few things that need attention but gave the truth and said what things could wait and what in needed to do immediately. He only charged me a couple hundred and my car runs the best it's been in a while. Totally recommend Kenny and will be taking my moded out GTI to him from now on. Thanks Kenny!

A very experienced and helpful shop for servicing your car.

Excellent communication and service. I was treated well and my car was taken care of promptly and well. I appreciated the neighborhood vibe and direct contact with the technician and business owner. Very personable service.

Excellent shop for VW service. Great service, fair prices.

Nov 09, 2023

Great customer service! Quick service. Will definitely use again for service on my Audi

I have an older VW diesel Golf. I noticed my clutch slipping and found these guys as on a recommendation. With any new mechanic there is always a bit of hesitation, but they made me feel welcome. I used to be a mechanic as well so I know a few things and they immediately impressed me with their deep knowledge of my car in particular. They did brakes, clutch replacement and oil in basically one day. That blew me away. I've had the car our for a few long drives to test out the work and it is flawless. Absolutely money well spent. I'll definitely be back with any future work I need done.

I was due for a 70 K service and my back up camera light stopped functioning. I brought my Audi A3 to VAS and he was able to perform the service and repair the wiring for the back up camera in the same day and at a reasonable price. Very efficient with great communication regarding the service he provided.

Kenny and Alvin are the best! Great service and honest work. I would highly recommend!

Kenny and his son are super cool to work with. Definitely a lot more affordable than the other places around the Bay Area. They are honest and fast with their works. They took 2 days to finish service my RS5 and change control arms, Amazing! I’m so glad there are still honest mechanics out here. Thank you Kenny!

My wife and I recently moved to the city and were recommended to take our Audi Allroad to VAS for any and all service needs. Kenny and his team are fantastic, very knowledgeable and have many years of experience. We recently had an issue with our car that made the vehicle almost inoperable. After patiently listening to me explain strange and unique symptoms, the car was dropped off, diagnosed quickly, repaired and back on the road within 24 hours. Kenny and his team are honest and reliable, and give customers the confidence they will be taken care of. Thanks again, VAS Motor Works!

Team at VAS is competent, honest, and friendly.

Nov 09, 2023

They were very helpful here and completely knowledgeable in their industry. I took my 2015 Audi in for sunroof repair and they were able to provide me with exactly what was wrong along with other details in the car. Pricing is very fair and they are honest with repairs + cost, up front. Highly recommend!

What a RIPOFF!! I called in to inquire about replacing a leaking brake master cylinder for an older 2005 VW and they quoted me WHOPPING $400 dollars just for labor!😱 While other repair shops quoted me between $250 to $275 since I was savvy enough to call around first. This type of repair is not "brain surgery" and just a matter of unbolting and bolting parts then bleeding the lines. Not a difficult job for experienced mechanics and can probably do it in their sleep. This job is certainly not worth paying someone a "$400" for an hour and a half worth of work. What ripoff this place is! I thought since it was family owned it would be more honest and fair but, they obviously are bleeding customers dry!! Ignorance is bliss - if you don't know about cars and don't know how to "QUALIFY" the work/job versus the cost, then you won't know you're getting screwed over like this place does. No wonder why they have such a fancy shop💰. People that "don't know" about cars and how to qualify work vs. Cost should not comment on how good a repair shop is out of ignorance! $400 dollars???! I don't think so. Keep your greed and I'll take my business elsewhere.👎

A talented father and son team who you can trust! I drive over from Oakland because I know my Audi is in the best hands at Vas Motor Works. They are friendly, and experts in their field. So happy I found them.

Nov 09, 2023

Detailed and very honest. He took the time to answer all of my questions on the phone. Volkswagen wouldn't even call me back.

Nov 09, 2023

Everything done as promised reasonable amd on time

Nov 09, 2023

Kenny was fantastic, explaining what he needed to do and how much it would cost before he started the work. Then he was faster and it cost a little less than anticipated. Can’t say enough good things about this shop and their work.

Nov 09, 2023

They did good work, but I found out other businesses that could have done the same work would have charged $500 less.
