I recently had trouble with the electrical and took my 2018 to an Audi dealership. They fixed the electrical system, but not the underlying problem which was a leak in my spare tire compartment. After a heavy rain, I took it into Tom's to have a go at the problem and within 15 minutes, Fender (his actual name) had diagnosed the problem and placed a temporary fix. He then contacted Audi to effect a permanent fix to the problem. He also didn't charge me for the evaluation. Of course, I was very impressed. Needless to say, Tom's now has a lifelong customer!!

It looked like they barely touched it and they overcharged me for their standard labor rates and parts!!! 36.30 each for spark plugs? I went to a different place for a second opinion and it was fixed the same day I got it back from Tom's auto. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! SCAM!! Better Business bureau is hearing about this $1,800 SCAM

Had this fixed and another oil leak developed on the front cam seal and another area and they did fix that one for free but then another oil leak magically appeared but was only seepage.....yeah it is a hemorrhage not a drop or two. . . .this is a car that up to going to their garage did not use oil and had no oil leaks To top it off, they left the car unlocked and some on pilfered through my glovebox and center console they did not bother to tell us this. My wife got in the car to bring it home and both compartments had been emptied, and the contents were scattered all over the floor. Only a few items were missing, but whoever now has my home address because our proof of insurance was in the glovebox . . .so I cannot recommend Walt's at all

In many cases, he has taken photos and even videos of what is going on in the engine or from under the car on the lift, so that I can understand the problem (which I appreciate). He has serviced every car I've had, and I've been very happy to refer him to my friends and colleagues.
