Recommendations for VW auto repair shop in richmond?
It's for an older 2005ish golf if that matters. Dealership wants $100 just to run a diagnostic (battery been having issues lately, but it's a new battery). Is that a standard price?

I always thought dealerships charged a premium for service and it was better to find an independent auto repair place but don't know any off the top of my head in richmond.

The owner Julian is a German car specialist. Great guy and very fair pricing. My buddy a4 /s4 has been under his special care and it's actually still alive

The shop owner, Yogi, can be a bit blunt or rude at times but he is a VW specialist (especially with older models) and has reasonable rates

It's in new west, but i think it's worth the drive there if it saves you a couple hundred bucks.

Right behind Hoegler's. He's a VW/Audi guy, drives a V10 Touareg and an S4.
