We can almost guarantee that he'II take longer than a VW mechanic, which means that you can almost be guaranteed that he's going to cost a lot more. For one thing, he hasn't spent years going to our transmission sohool, our electrical sohool, our rear end school, and so on. He hasn't been back to school every year to Iearn about improvements we make every year. And he probably doesn't have the special VW tools, (we desig n them ourselves) that not only help a VW mechanic do beUter work, but do it faster, too. So whenever you need something done to your VW, bring it to us. We've taken the time to know it better than anyone else. *V OWASCO VOLKSWAGEN INC. An *I Gare" and CAA award winner. Since 1972.
