I think I finally found the Audi shop I was looking for in Seattle. Although a little far up the beaten path, they know the car well and don't charge an arm and a leg. A lot of their work is tuning and aftermarket upgrades, so they understand the inner workings of the car very well. I recently had my clutch pads replaced. The new clutch drives really well, it cost me substantially less than the dealership's quoted price (40%), and they identified a few other potential problems that were missed by other shops (I was able to determine that they are legitimate problems though). All in all, well worth the drive."<br> -David N.</p> <p class="style12">"Awesome Service. I have been a customer to Fine Tuning for 2 years. This has been with 2 different cars - and this shop has always been very thorough and honest. From oil changes to suspension, to head gaskets and exhaust systems, they have been pretty decent on prices and the work was top rate. I have no complaints with Fine Tuning - only great reviews on their customer service and their workmanship! Great Job Fine Tuning! I would recommend them to anyone! :)<br> -Kloey P. </p> <p align="left" class="style12">"Simply the best. I've been a customer of Fine Tuning Performance for a couple of years now. Chris and his staff have handled everything I've thrown at them brilliantly and efficiently; everything from routine tune-ups to troublesome little diagnostic problems (that other shops had failed to solve) to complete engine and drive train rebuilds. The technical knowledge and expertise and sheer, raw intelligence in this shop simply stands out from the rest of the VW/Audi shops! Couple that with an unfailingly dedicated determination to fix things - and fix them right - and you have an unbeatable combination. Prices are more than competitive with other local independent shops - and well below dealer prices. Chris stands behind his work 100% and on those rare occasions something gets missed, he addresses it promptly and without excuses or arguments. In response to the previous poster's comments about Fine Tuning Performance being unreliable, there was indeed a brief (fortunately) period where some of the staff were dropping the ball and not handling service requests and coordination well. Chris reacted quickly and fixed the problem completely. All aspects of Fine Tuning Performance service is now back up to their previous level of excellence! "<br> -Wes N, Loyal Customer<br> </p> <p align="left" class="style12">"This is the place to take your German car after all the other shops have bungled the repair job. If he is backed up with other jobs, he will tell you. If he finds that you have other problems needing immediate attention that you were unaware of when you brought your car in, he will tell you. He completely guarantees his work, he uses the highest quality German parts, unless you specify otherwise, he is a stickler for repairing your car to spec, his custom work is immaculate on Vanagon conversions (and any other conversion you might dream up) and he is patient with the do-it-yourselfer."<br> Shop Rating: Excellent<br> -Anonymous, Roadhaus.com</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"Fine Tuning is the only shop I trust to work on my VW. They are hands-down the best German car shop I know in the Seattle area.<br> Shop Rating: Excellent"<br> -Anonymous, Roadhaus.com</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"The Best Place to take you VW or German Vehicle! I have had nothing but exceptional service from Fine Tuning every visit, I have never felt ripped off or swindled, and I am always treated with the up most respect. The Guys here are hard working, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable!<br> <br> This is the only place I would think to take my much loved VW TDI!"<br> -James F, Seattle, WA</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"You say you drive a VW? Audi? Oh man you are going through the same amount of check engine lights, creeking, and all out crazy sounds that VW/Audi (VAG) go through. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!<br> <br> As owners, enthusiasts and crazy nuts that love our cars we all need some help from time to time. Fine Tuning is that place for your german automobile. They will do anything from a pre-buy inspection to a TDI swap into your syncro westy vanagon. (and they do a sweet job at it) <br> <br> Chris (owner) is just the right kind of nut that keeps all kinds of information in his head that would make a book look bad. He is so into what he does its not a profession its an obsession! His lead tech Hank is a master as well and Audi Certified to boot. When giving the shop a call its a safe bet that the service adviser Ryan will answer the phone and help you with your issues. All in all the staff is great and has one thing in mind... YOUR CAR RUNNING GOOD. They will treat you right, sell you what you need, recommend what they think is best and put everything right in front of you so you can make the choice. <br> <br> They are big TDI geeks as am I so I have learned a lot from these cats but they are happy to share knowledge with willing people. <br> <br> Free VAG-COM scans too!! (VW/Audi diagnostic tool) No charge to pop in and have them check out why that pesky check engine light is on or why you have a weird clunk from *fill in the blank*"<br> -Dave R, Seattle, WA</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"I trusted my beloved 1993 vw corrado to Fine Tuning and had a great experience. If you don't know what a Corrado looks like, then I feel a little sorry for you. Onto the review.<br> <br> The previous owners of this vehicle did not treat it like a future collector car should be treated and it needed some TLC and more than I can give it. The suspension was in bad shape and the cv axles needed to be rebuilt and my sway bar was hurting. I left my lil green vdub in their loving hands.<br> <br> Fine Tuning are enthusiasts first and businessmen second. They take great care and pay enthusiast attention to the vehicles they work on. The recommendations I received for Fine Tuning were well worth reading and the service I received and the care my VW got made this experience a rewarding one.<br> <br> I trust my car to Fine Tuning and I hope after reading my review you will trust your beloved vehicle to them as they will treat you both right.<br> <br> Least you can do is call and chat with them about your car woes and judge for yourself. Worth your time for sure"<br> -Anthony C, Mulketio, WA</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"You love your VW. It has it's gremlins and electronics problems and it breaks down more than a Honda, right? That's what gives it character. Well, I've had to get my VWs fixed plenty and I've got nothing but good reviews for Fine Tuning. <br> <br> I've taken my 1981 Rabbit Pickup Diesel and 97 Passat TDI. Chris and his crew are very experienced and knowledgable. They don't try to rip you off. They fix what needs fixing and give you a good deal at the same time. They have a recommended service list after they see your car, but they're good about avoiding the hard sell. Good and thorough."<br> -Stan R, Seattle, WA</p> <p align="left" class="style12">"I inquired about having my wheel bearings replaced. Rob told me could work on it Wednesday. Told him that I would have to call him to tell him when I could take time off work...probably not on Wednesday.<br> Well, I Brought the car in on Wed. Pretty late in the day without much forewarning, but he got to it straight away and had it finished real fast. Long story short, I am very happy with the service I received at Fine Tuning <br> Rob even vacuumed the floormat area after he took it for a spin <br> Thumbs Up to Rob and Fine Tuning"<br> Taken from VWVortex.com user Name "white_rice" <br> </p> <p align="left" class="style12">"Those guys did a great job and saved me a bundle on the 40K maintenance service for my MKIV VR6.

I took it up to my friend at Fine Tuning and they hooked me up. They looked over my car for next to nothing and let me know what was wrong. They had my car fixed in one day. They put in a new clutch in my car, put in my new drive axles, and put on new rear calipers. They also told me everything that was wrong with my car. I am happy with all of the services I got and would strongly recommend it to any other person. Chris knows all of his stuff about Volkswagens and the other employees are also knowledgeable. Just go in there and ask for a "CHRIS LIST" and they'll let you know". <br> -Taken from VWVortex.com user Name "Fuzzy Jetta" <br> </p> <p align="left" class="style12">Chris, Rob and Paul...<br> "Thanks for the great work, good price, and awesome customer service in regards to swapping out my crusty old cis-e 8v with a fresh digi 8v, lightened flywheel, exhaust, k-bar, and steering wheel in the rabbit.

This time, with a great price for my 60K maintenance and New ATE Power Disc slotted rotors for my 01 Black VR6 (I guess 60K is pretty good for stock rotors). As I said in a previous posts, go to these guys instead of the stealerships (e.g. University VW). <br> -Taken from the VWVortex user name "EZ-E" <br> </p> <p align="left" class="style12">"Took my g/f's mk3 golf there yesterday to get the autotragic tranny fluid/filter changed.
