The gratitude I feel for Accomplished Auto is indescribable. My car is a twenty-one year old 2001 VW New Beetle. It is my first car and I have loved it every day since I bought it through a private seller six years ago. Lately, it's been showing its age and with the average cost of hourly labor for a VW specialist being $180, I haven't been able to afford having it thoroughly assessed. To Trade or not to Trade? That has been my question. I needed a full "doctor's" diagnosis by a VW specialist that wouIdn't cost me as much as a dealership. THIS WAS 100% THE RIGHT PLACE FOR ME TO GO! After calling multiple mechanics for over a year and not being able to afford any of them, and then after hiring one in July 2022 who did some mediocre repair work and literally damaged my car while it was in their care... I was near tears on the phone with Accomplished Auto's receptionist, April. She was kind, and warm and receptive to me. The mechanic offered to do a completely thorough inspection on my car AND provide a comprehensive list of all services the car needs now/would eventually need with individual cost estimates for only $45. I dropped my car off to them with only a wing and a prayer in my pocket and then left the State to visit my family across the country. They kept my car safe for two weeks, and sent me the list of potential services thru an editable PDF to my cellphone. Upon returning from my trip, I sat down with the mechanic and he explained everything I wanted to know and more. He was willing to cut future service repair costs in whatever way he could, and was willing to source parts from a VW junkyard nearby. He told me honest advice about the costs of continuing ownership of my current car, and also provided insight about trading it in for something newer. I even got to meet the VW Specialist in their garage and ask him additional questions as well. They do pre-purchase inspections which I will be hiring them to do if I find myself needing to trade in my Bug! Overall, I got an enormous amount of information for less than a fraction of the cost at other places, and I could tell the place was legitimate and being run by genuine people. As a natural sceptic, I sometimes read these types of reviews written by other reviewers, and doubt whether I would have the same experience. I can plainly say that YES, even YOU would come away from this place feeling satisfied and safe regarding your vehicle. Five stars for an on point business. Thank you, Ryan, Nick, and April!
