When my trans broke down i have shopped around for a mechanic shop to get it fixed. I visited about 3 shops that specialize in VWs and they all wanted to replace my tranny instead of figuring out what the problems is and fixing it. A friend of mine at work told me about Allstate transmission. I went to them and in about half an hour they figured out that they needed to rebuild my transmission. over a year and 12k miles later, my was still going strong. recently i have noticed that it started hard shifting in the 2nd and 3rd gear., so i took it back to them to check it out. They diagnosed the car and figured out what the problem is. Unfortunately it was not something they could fix; however they took the time to shop around for the parts to give me an idea about how much it would cost and referred me to someone who can help.
My car has been having this problem "that i chose to ignore" where the rotter was rubbing against the break plate. I have spent $150 at another shop to get fixed but they did not. I never even told Allstate about that issue but when i drove the from they parking lot i noticed that it was not making any noises. When I got to work i noticed that the issue was fixed. HANDS DOWN THE BEST SHOP YOU WILL EVER DEAL WITH.
One last thing, when i visited them, i spoke with Mitch and Nicole, the 2 people at the front desk; let me tell you; they are the nicest and most knowledgeable people you will ever deal with.
THANK you guys for everything, you have a customer for life.
