I highly recommend Fred's Garage:

416 D St. / Industrial Way
Redwood City

(415) 368-5343

VW/Audi only, run by a German Family. Very honest, fair prices, and they use 
only good quality parts (Mann, Bosch, Teves, etc.) They're out of the way for 
me, but I still go there for major repairs.

I like wrenching too, but you can't do everything....
