*Part 1I knew Gary LaVere lived up to his stellar reputation when he fixed my daughters VW bug last year. Most mechanics would see two women coming in with a car repair and take advantage. He didnt. He treated us with respect, told us exactly what was wrong with the car, and fixed it for far less than we thought wed have to pay. I bought a 1969 Karmann Ghia a few weeks after my Dad passed away four years ago in 2017. Its always been my dream car. It ran for a few weeks, broke down, and hasnt run since. Its been sitting in my parking lot for four years. When my property manager gave me a week to move it or theyd have it towed, Gary came on his day off, ready to change two flat tires, to hook it up to a tow bar and tow it to his shop, where its currently waiting for repairs. Not only does Gary know his cars, he does the work with integrity and a true love for VWs. I know he will do right by me and my car. He knows that for me, its not just a car. Its a dream car.*I will keep adding my reviews as Gary progresses with the work.

Jason was a pleasure to work with. The owner, Gary, however, only responds to male customers. Hence, 99.9% of the positive reviews are from the male species. Gary, the owner, treats women with disdain. Women; there are many choices available to get a simple car maintenance service and where your patronage is appreciated - avoid this place.

Gary was awesome good price and great work. I will definitely return for VW work. Really honest man and has lots of information on Volkswagen.

I have had numerous positive experiences and transactions with Gary over the years - not only vehicle repairs, but 2 classic VW vehicle purchases as well. Gary is a straight shooter that you can trust and hes also like a walking talking VW encyclopedia. His 50+ years of VW/Audi knowledge is amazing and interesting and hes always willing to answer questions - and usually with some humor. He also has 2 (at least) top mechanics that have been with him forever, and the continuity & synergy w/ his staff/crew is very apparent. I highly recommended Gary and his shop for any/all VW/Audi needs.

Very helpful. Didnt have the right key for lugs but dent me in a very helpful direction to figure it out. Thank you guys

Gary is very knowledgeable and very helpful when a guy like me doesn’t know much about a Volkswagen

If I could give 10 stars, I would! The words honest and mechanic arent usually mutually exclusive, but I cannot express how appreciative I am about the honest work I received from Gary & Jason. This was my second excellent experience at Laveres and I will remain a customer for as long as I have my Audi. The dealership gave me a diagnosis that was going to cost double what I was charged here. The convenient after hours drop off had my car ready to go the next day and its driving great. Thanks again to Gary & Jason for the great service :)

It is a nice place to buy vw stuff !!!!

Great shop. Finally found an audi mechanic that is trustworthy. Hour away from me but worth it. Peace of mind.

Affordable parts and helpful advice.

Kind, honesty, expertise .... Those guys are real outliers and are not afraid of any job from restauration to performance. Great team !!!!

Gary is the nicest guy ever, a joy to work with!!

Ruins your cars

Talk to Gary. attention to detail. laveres is doing a restoration project for me. so far so good.

Stumbled on this little gem by accident. Stopped in for a friend for a few minutes and talked with one of the guys about a Westy. I could of been there for hours learning more info. But I had to leave. :(Really good place to go. Not sure on prices since I wasnt getting anything done but I have to say if I owned a car they could work on I would be there again. Ill refer everyone I know there.

Gary holds true to original VWs and does it right!

They are a great shop very honest and good at what they do I recently spent alot ot money with them and iam happy with the outcome.

Always a pleasure always helpful, Great Care & Honesty.

3 decades I have been restoring vws.

If you happen to have a 2002 audi TT Quattro, I wouldnt take it anywhere else. These guys are about the best mechanics Ive dealt with in 10+ years.

Best vw service in the bay

Awesome

I called asking advice. Gary answered my questions and was open book with what he would do in my circumstances. Thats exactly what I want to hear on an initial phone call.

Freaking awesome.

Good service.

I WANT One!!!
