A friend who had gotten ill and had heart bypass surgery brought his pick up for repair there over a year ago. A man named Fred Baum told my friend that he paid the mechanic $600 to fix the truck . The truck has sat there over a year and has not been fixed,,..and then we find out that this guy Fred never paid a dime for any repairs......( who is a buddy of the mechanic) Three times the mechanic told me that he WAS fixing the truck ...... Well the truck NEVER got fixed, Joe the owner pulled a fast one and stole the vehicle from my friend by putting the title in his name......

The early Audi CVT transmissions are notoriously bad and I figured mine was shot. I called VAP and spoke to the owner, Mark, on the phone and described my issue. He told me to bring the car in. He to,d me right up front that if it was tge transmission, they are hard to find and costly to rebuold, about $ 4000.00. From my research on the internet, this price was spit on. We left the car there in April of 2015 and returned to our home up north. A week later Marl called and said that the transmission was fine, the engine eas misfiring on 3 cylinders, and that he had fixed the problem. The bill - $600.00. While he had the car I had them replace tge timing belt and water pump as well as the transmission fluid, all reccommended maintainence by Audi at 100,000 miles - which was where my car was at, as well as an oil change. The total bill came to $2800.00. I was very pleased. The car runs great. Last week we were down and the check engine light came on. I called Mark and he to,d me to bring the car in and he would check it for me. He hooked it up to the computer as soon as we arrived and said it was a nothing to be concerned about and he reset the onboard computer. There was no charge. This is an honest shop run by very nice people. I will never take my car anywhere else.

A call was made to Flecha Automotive. The management and staff immediately made arrangements to transport the motorcycle to their facility. They worked with my insurance company to get approval for repairs. The repairs were timely performed and the motorcycle looks good as new. I have nothing but praise for this facility and their staff.
