I have a 1999 VW Jetta w/ very high mileage. I love the car but I dread going to get anything repaired on it because the first words out of everyone's mouths is- It is a Volkswagon so it is going to cost more to fix. I was tired of feeling ripped off and treated like 'a dumb blond' who wouldn't understand anything so why bother to explain! A few months ago, I had a major problem with a coolant leak and an oil leak. I was told everything from I would need to have the engine replaced (cracked block) to 'it probably is not worth fixing but if you want us to look at it, it is going to cost a bundle'. I found Uptown Imports on the Internet, read the reviews and decided to give them a try. They got me in right away, diagnosed and explained the problems and offered alternatives I could consider. I had them do the work and they charged what they had estimated - which was a shock since I have always ended up with 'add-ons' that appear on the final bill that are unexpected. They did not try to sell me anything extra with the exception of their Car Care Club- John explained that if I bought the card, I would get more discounts on the work they just did than the card cost. I would also have free oil changes and other benefits! I bought it. Monday morning of this week, I went out to the car in the morning and found that the passenger window had fallen off the track. I called glass dealers who estimated that the repairs would be a MINIMUM of $400. Uptown did it for just over $250. They did some other work, charged exactly what they had estimated and explained what they had done. On top of it all, they washed my car! These people are great!
Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: NONE
