This is my first VW and when I was ready to start having fun with it, I was curious about who around town would be the best fit. After a ton of research, I contacted Phil over at Dubsquared. From the first, "Dubsquared, this is Phil", I knew I found the perfect fit for my car. I just got that sense of passion and respect from him. He presents himself in a way that makes you feel like you have known him your whole life. He got such a huge amount of respect for people and that reflects through his shop and the rest of the team up there. I have been going to them now for about a year, little over a year now. I am SO happy that I found Phil, Tyler and the rest of the guys over @ Dubsquared. If there is one thing in my life that I have always hated leaving in other people's hands, it's been my cars. It always seems like something else is wrong after I drop it off somewhere. No matter what car it was. I can say, with more confidence than ever, that I have found the PERFECT shop. I literally have no fears when it comes to these guys. This is the only place that I have ever dropped any of my cars off at, a day prior to them needing it. I get so scared that something will happen to my car when I don't have it in my possession. It's like I am taking my car to my second garage. There is absolutely ZERO fear with these guys. Talk about knowledge man....they all have their own skill sets, that set them apart from everyone else. Phil can sit there and straight educate you on how the certain part will work and the benefits that you will receive, literally without images, just by using words. It's truly mesmerizing. Tyler seems to always know which parts will be the best. He is like a human google search for VW & Audi. you can bounce a question off him and he will come right back with the part that is best for the situation. Absolutely unreal man. They ALWAYS have an answer for you. The greatest thing about them, in my eyes, is their un-relentless dedication to make the customer happy. If something you want doesn't seem right to them or they know it won't work the way you intent it to, they will offer other options, but options that make complete sense. They are extremely genuine and respectful. They will always lead you in the right direction. And they will never make you feel ignorant or stupid about questions you may have. I told them right up front, I may have some off the wall questions, but I just want to do all research I can before doing something to my car. They read my mind. Every time I take my car into these guys, I leave with such a great sense of accomplishment and confidence. They truly make you feel like you are the heartbeat of their passion. I have been blown away by the work and service that they provide here. I tell them all the time, this is my one and only shop. I will never go anywhere else. This is home man. Being able to walk into a shop and feel like family is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I don't doubt that I could spend all day talking with these guys and learning more than I have ever imagined. I have friends that go with me up there and when we leave, I always here the same thing..."Dude, I wish I could have a shop like that for my car..."-damn straight! I took my car in damn near bone stock. I had no idea where to start. I think I had some flush mount spacers, mud flaps and lowering springs. I had no idea where to go from there. From day one, they have taught me so much about this car. Things I never thought I would ever know, but they go far and beyond to help you understand the reasoning behind everything. They have done so much to my car, from installing sway bars, suspension upgrades, to hooking me up with an APR IC, S2 tune & so much more. They have turned my car from just a VW into an actual work of art. Seriously, it is truly amazing what these guys do. Nothing has been a disappointment here. It's not just performance they do either. Nearly every time I am there, someone else is picking up their car for an oil change or a simple tune up. Who in the world do you know that operates as a #1 repair and maintenance shop, but also does performance mods that would make Paul Walker want a VW?? Dubsquared is THE place. I never thought my car would have what it does on it now and it has so much to do with Dubsquared. I cannot say enough about these guys. Truly one of a kind. I have read and researched other shops around town and what not. I am sure they are great and do great work. But the personal one on one experience you receive at Dubsquared, paired with some NASA like knowledge on VW & Audi, you won't want to go anywhere else. Dubsquared is heaven for me and my MKVII. I cannot thank Phil, Tyler and everyone else up there enough. Y'all have truly brought back that insane passion for cars I once thought I lost. Y'all have truly made the past year or so such a pleasure, a dream come true and I look forward to bringing my cars here forever. Thank you so much gentlemen!!! read more
