My apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question, but...
I need an honest mechanic for my 2000 Passat. Has various needs, from emissions to headlight to door handle (damn thieves).
Thing is, we are a one car family, so I'd prefer walking distance. I'm near S.O. Ave and Wyoming, which means in the vicinity of downtown South Orange, or in a nearby town if it's by their train station. |

I've posted many times in the last few weeks about Dave at Euro Tech on Lackawanna Place (off Valley near Pathmark). Although, he likes to be called a technician & not a mechanic.
He's done so well by me that I'll call him anything he likes.
I have a 2002 Passat & was having electrical issues & warning lights. He did an oil change and the 30k check-up (dealer cost $90; Dave's cost $55). He showed me all the warning codes & told me what to do if things happened again, sending me to the dealer for warranty work. A week later, my radio died & he fixed it. Couldn't find a problem, but popping it in & out worked. He didn't charge me since he didn't feel he did anything and couldn't explain the problem.
He takes regular VW classes & seems to know them like the back of his hand.
Dave is on my list of favorite people these days; I just think he's groovy. |
