I failed an emission's test so I went to Autostatt based upon a referral from a business associate who works on new VW beetles as a hobby. (My friend tried to help me, but only could partially). Mike is very straight-forward and honest. Like all great mechanics, he gave me a very reasonable estimate for the repair needed to pass the emissions test (thermometer issue set off a code) and also alerted me to a slow oil leak. He assured me there wasn't any urgency, but that I should monitor it because eventually it could cause damage. I decided to do the repair for that at the same time. Total estimate was $400, but I was nicely surprised to total out at $350 because he was able to do the fixes in less time than he had thought he would. He also showed me the failed parts and explained what they did very succinctly. Good work. I could tell my air conditioning was working better within a few minutes of driving away. I will definitely go to Autostaat for future repairs (my car is 11 years old, so it's just a matter of time). Only tiny issue I had was communication. Everyone is very kind, but it is a small team so there was some back and forth getting the estimate and okaying the work, so be prepared to be a bit patient on that front; however the work they do and the price they do it at definitely makes them worth the small amount of extra communication time.
