i have not bought anything from him but have met him and know the truth of
the matter of his recent" buying of a vw shop that closed down"  this is one
of the fellows that uses coat hangers, silicone, and the removers of all air
flaps and other parts.  A real no-nothing vw fellow.  They had to haul all
their stull off of the site where the 80+ year old gradfather of one of this
hipster's freiends had a shop for 40 years.  When the old man died, it was
all down hill........hard to have a successful shop when you show up
whenever you feel like it, are never there when you say you are, and can't
fix cars worth a hoot.

i bought my 88 from these idiots for $1000..Mind you they are the so-called
vw shop..........they could not fix it...I had it running well within 2
hours.  Told me motor was blown.

I work on cars that were formerly serviced by these guys all the
time.....and customers walk away smiling, and so glad that their car is
ready when I say it is, and that i was actually at the shop when i said I
would be!

I would not depend on these guys for squat...they are what gives vw's a bad
name.
