Klever Jurado couldn’t have been more helpful and courteous and truly was amazing to partner with. Not only did he go above and beyond with his help, but he also managed to have me in and out of there well ahead of schedule as well and got a technician to help fix something on the spot which helped me out tremendously. I’d recommend them for anything and everything
Kenny, Alvin and VAS is awesome. I’ve been going there for years, ever since the dealer warranty for our 2006 Audi A3 ran out. Always great!!
This was my best experience with a mechanic / auto shop in years. Would highly recommend for any Audi/VW owner.
Ken was great at clearly communicating what was wrong with my car in great detail. He held his word on how long it would take and stuck to it. He followed up with additional information he forgot to tell me when I picked up the car, which was helpful to know. I will be back.
Kenny took great care of my sq5, after going to Audi Burlingame who tried to charge 4x times more for the same service, actually inferior, Kenny is in town and is a great friendly guy to talk to. Thank you!
If you want to upgrade from Audi dealership service, this is the place. I do business here for the peak professionalism, honesty, timeliness, and cheerfulness. Kenny has been taking care my A4 Quattro since he opened at Polk St. I havent even thought of bringing her anywhere else since.
Kenny is quick, fair and a great communicator. I won’t bring our VW anywhere else from now on. Good mechanics are hard to come by, but Kenny/VAS is one of the best.
I had an outstanding experience with VAS when I recently brought in my Audi Q5. Ive gone to the Audi dealership service center since I bought the car used and never had an experience as positive as the one with VAS.I had a CV Joint Boot replaced and I had my coolant flushed and coolant tank replaced.The work was done on time and my experience working with Kenny was great. He kept the old parts from my car so that he could show me what was wrong with them when I picked up my car.Also, there was a similar car to mine in the shop so I asked what was wrong with that car. He went out of his way to walk me over to that car explain/show me everything they were working on with that car.He even gave me advice about known issues on my own car model to be aware of.Ill be back to VAS for all of my repair needs.
Fantastic experience with Kenny and the shop. Quick fix and fair rates. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing help on their German vehicle .
The gentlemen at Vas Motor works really go out of their way for the customers. I was very satisfied
My car needed engine work done and brought it to VAS Motor Works. Kenny provided recommendations and went above and beyond. Kenny is truly a professional and definitely recommend VAS!
Always very happy with the service and transparency at VAS for my VW Golf, much recommend.
Good, fast service at a reasonable price. Won’t be going back to the dealer, where you get no better service quality and a bill 2-3x higher!
Kenny was great! Honest and up front and took my car in twice before leaving for a convention. Honestly I was grateful to know that a good friend of mine is also a loyal customer! All the reviews are true! Honest, reasonable and easy to work with. He even taught me a few things about my car and confirmed some information that I found out about my car. Looking forward to a great connection!
Amazing service and communication. Ill be back next time my little GTI needs some love.
Great shop. Good communication. Timely work. Local people
Went for 55k service and to diagnose check engine light. Turns out diagnostic cost is different and fix cost is different even though diagnostic took 15 mins. Other good authentic Audi service centers around bay area considers total diagnostic and fix time as same or even consider no diagnostic charge if you are doing 55k $600 service or such. Complete milking service center.
Excellent service.
I started taking my 2010 S4 here for regular service almost 2 years now. I finally decided to stop taking it to the dealer for service. Kenny charges fair prices, and does a great reliable job on my car. Highly recommended.
Excellent communication and services!
Very honest and professional mechanics. They will tell you what your car need with out the BS . I will only have them work on my Audi .
Honest mechanics that are patient and go way beyond the scope of work expected. Kenny is amazing. Ive worked with him twice. Once in 5/18 when I had a major coolant leak that I feared would be costly. He was really efficient and excellent at communicating with me. Turned out to be only a faulty radiator cap for $25. Im sure there are plenty of mechanics out there that would have gauged me for more service, but not Kenny.My most recent experience speaks to his integrity and clear knowledge of Audis. This time my Audi broke down and I had to have it towed to my home in the east bay so I brought it to a local mechanic for convenience. The local mechanic claimed 3 items needed to be replaced; 2 water pumps and a new thermostat. The estimate provided at that mechanic was $2200. I called Kenny to discuss and he never spoke ill of the other mechanic but explained in his many years working on Audis that about 80% of the time it is just the thermostat. The local mechanic apparently just assumed the pumps were bad. Kenny ended up saving me $1700 AND did this by advising me on what to tell the local mechanic, he never ended up making any $ off of this service only making a customer for life!
Kenny is amazing. Hard to find a trustworthy auto mechanic and Kenny is just that. His prices are very reasonable and much cheaper than Royal Motors for same exact repairs on my Audi A4. I know because I got quotes from both about a year ago and elected to have Kenny do the work. My most recent experience was excellent. I had a coolant leak and called him up just before closing time. He told me to bring it in the next morning. He checked it out and gave me the good news that it wasn’t the radiator, just a shredded O-ring near the coolant temperature sensor. He had the car repaired by early afternoon that same day. What a relief! I will continues using Kenny for car repairs and service and I fully recommend him to others.
This father and son team was very knowledgeable in Audi repairs share what type of work should be done to maintain my A4, honest and hardworking family, I will always use them and recommend to everyoneW.Chang
I have a 1981 VW rabbit pickup diesel...Most mechanics wont touch it. Kenny is the man, he takes the time to explain and show you the problems and his solutions. A lot of times the problems require creativity on these older cars and Kenny always if up for the challenge. He is very knowledgeable and familiar with older Volkswagens. Honest and fair with price and quotes. Has taken me a long time to find a place like VAS motor works!
They did an amazing job! They changed my supercharger radiator. Flexible on my time coming in and had me finished the same day. Will definitely bring my car back if I need more work.
Kenny and Alvin are Trust Worthy. Always keeping their clients updated with cost and time to complete repairs.
Kenny and his son know Audis. I brought an Audi Q7 to them after another mechanic messed it up, and Kenny know the problem before he lifted the hood. They have also been great about helping me out in getting restitution from the previous shop. So I will be taking my Audi back to VAS in the future.
Ive been going to Kenny and Alvin for about 6 years to take care of my Audi A4. It is usually pretty easy to get on their schedule, and working with them feels like working with a best friend. They are incredibly honest about the work that needs to get done and what is not really urgent or necessary. I strongly recommend going to them!
Came in to fix my Audi’s A/C because it wasn’t blowing cold and Kenny was quick to diagnose the problem and had it fix very quick. Price was reasonable and he even helped me install my new fog lights for free! Definitely recommendUpdate: Also came here to fix a “Gearbox Malfunction” issue for my Audi S4 and as of now, the car runs great after the fix!
Kenny and his son Alvin were great. My Audi A8 electrical problem was complicated but Kenny knows what he is doing, can be fully trusted and really has his customers interest in mind. Good for them in this era of diminishing customer service and reliability. Use this Audi / VW shop with high confidence.
I find the father & son team extremely friendly, competent, service oriented and honest even if it isnt in their best interest. Their knowledge of my car helped me to decide when to sell my car. I often pop in for an oil fill up because of my turbo engine and they even fixed my sideview mirror that I cracked at no charge! Who does that? I highly recommend them if you have an Audi or the other brands they fix. They will take care of you and your car.
Have a 1987 vanagon and its hard to find someone to trust to take care of it, but luckily I have found VAS Motor Works. Ken makes sure to always check the van as a courtesy, even when I just come in for oil changes and has also gone out of his way to help me with things like my sink pump or headlights to more serious mechanical issues.If you have a Westy in the city - this is your shop.
Kenny runs this awesome auto repair shop. I have been servicing my 2010 BMW 5 series here for a couple years. Always great and honest service. Fair prices. Highly recommended.
I am very happy that I found VAS motor works. Kenny is a very honest guy and has worked on my car (Audi). He is very detail oriented and is very knowledgeable. I am very satisfied with his work, I highly recommend him.
VAS motor works was recommended to me by a friend. When I brought in my BMW for a flywheel/clutch upgrade, Kenny was very knowledgeable about potential issues and we spoke at length. I knew then and there that it would be done correctly.When I picked up the car, Kenny told me of a few minor leaks. I was impressed with his attention to details. The new FW/clutch setup works great, thanks Kenny!Great knowledgeable shop, fair prices, work completed in a timely manner. Couldnt expect much more from a business.
Super nice and honest! They were fair with pricing and did great work. Ill definitely go back.
Kenny, the shop owner, is very professional and easy to work with. He clearly knows his Audis - would recommend if you need work done on your car!
Took my beloved 02 tt here for service and I feel Im in great hands. Kenny is the best. He explained everything clearly, giving recommendations and time frames for each thing so that I dont feel pressured. I feel hes honest and wants to do the best for you and the car. I get the feeling, Kenny values the relationships for long term care of the customer. Couldnt be happier. He even went the extra mile-- he found a nail in the tire, and got it patched for me, saving me a trip! Ill def be back and Ive already recommended VAS to friends
Ive been a customer for about a year now and Ive never been disappointed. Kenny and his team are communicative and efficient. Recently, he went above and beyond by ordering and installing a new component in my interior at cost after I mentioned it was broken. Love this shop!
Great experience. Kenny was very knowledgeable and professional. Answered all my questions and kept me updated while my car was being worked on. Will definitely return for more car services.
I’m glad I found Kenny a few years ago. He and his son are great. My main beam went out on my mercedes and even though he was booked solid for weeks Kenny managed to find time for me. Brought my car in shortly after I phoned and it was all sorted out within 30 minutes. That quick turnaround enabled me to drive the car at night and then book the car in for a service (it’s due) at a later time when Kenny has greater availability. Can’t recommend them enough.
Kenny came highly recommended, so I decided to give it a try and took my B63S in for a few things i,e, Oil Change, Differential fluid, Brake fluid flush, Coolant Flush & inspection. I normal wouldnt let just any shop work on my B63S but Kenny was amazing & did a great job & really took good care of my baby. He also top off the oil on my C350 at no charge. Thats what I call service. All in All, Great Service, Friendly people and knows what he is doing and he aint going to rob you. If you dont believe me, try it for yourself.I also took in my 2009 C350 for a 180k service, brought it there in the morning and got it back by lunch. Also, I had someone backed into the front grill and Kenny did a great job replacing it through insurance. I cant say it enough: fast, friendly & reasonable prices & great service all the time. It makes me just want to get another MBZ, so Kenny can service it.
Kenny is a great, truthful, fair shop owner. I brought in our families VW as the starting idle was rough and some vehicle check lights where presenting, Kenny ran a diagnostic and reset some faulty sensors. He informed me that other then a vehicle reset, which was needed after I replaced the battery, that the car was good to go. No additional charge outside of the initial diagnostic.
Finding a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and affordable car repair shop for European imports is not easy. VAS does it well and is an excellent alternative to the overpriced dealerships. Happy to have Kenny as my service advisor and repair specialist.
Vas Team helped fix my VW GTI and it is runny flawless. I had taken it to 3 dealers prior, but it took taking to Vas Motor Works to make sure the work was done correctly. Very knowledgeable, friendly and reliable staff. Was recommended by family, and will recommend to anyone in the future.
Very professional team, great attention and treatment. Highly recommended!
Kenny is the man I trust with my GTI! He is fair and honest with his pricing and will tell you when you absolutely need something changed or if it just needs a keeping of an eye on, a must for people who dont know anything about whats under the hood. I found VAS when my autobody shop said hes the only guy in the neighborhood to trust with European cars. I rarely write reviews, but Kenny and his team deserve all the love.
Always great service and extremely knowledgeable of my VW products. I have utmost confidence in their insight on the maintenance and estimation for the repair of my Jetta.
I will never go anywhere else. They’re focused on the relationship. Not to mention really genuine and likeable folks.
Kenny was knowledgeable and forthrightly honest about my aging VW. Highly recommended.
I have four cars: Mercedes, Audi, Lexus and Infiniti. I always bring them to VAS and Kenny and Alvin do an excellent job of fixing my cars. They are friendly and explain all the issues and provide their professional recommendations to me. They are able to complete the job in an expected time frame and the cost is really reasonable.
This is a family owned shop. They are certified mechanics of Audi, VW, Mercedes and Lexus. They are upfront, tell you what needs to be fixed and and stand by there work. Kenney and his son do fantastic work. Its hard to find a mechanic in the city that is upfront and trust worthy and really knows what he is doing. If your looking for a shop that will take care of you car. This is the place.
Kenny and the whole VAS team are super helpful and very trustworthy. I highly recommend them for your car servicing needs!
If you own a VW I highly recommend VAS Motor Works. Kenny and Alvin are my excellent mechanics whenever I need my car serviced. VAS Motor Works prices are reasonable and their service is top notch. I have a 2007 Jetta GLI that runs amazingly well because of Kenny and Alvin. I have been a loyal customer for the past ten years.
Rock solid shop. Has been great for my RS4
Will not anywhere else
Quality, honest, work at a fair price.
The father and son team of Kenny & Alvin was tremendously helpful diagnosing my 2012 Audi A4 Avant . With their expertise and hitech tools, they were able to tell me exactly what needs to be done in relations to priority . I am grateful that they spent the time explaining the work thats needed in laymans terms. They will now be the doctors for my pride and joy Audi .
Kenny and Alvin are very detailed in their work. Quick service and great prices.
After getting a ridiculously high quote for 60K service for my friends Q7, a buddy of mine recommend I stop by this place and talk to Kenny. The shop can be easily missed but its the second driveway on the right.Shop is run by Kenny and his son and they do all the work. Dont expect any high pressure sales from him either; hes honest, upfront and very knowledgeable not only with Audis but really German cars. He takes the time to listen to your problems and never hesitates to give you some tips about your car. He uses only certified parts and lubricants and doesnt rush through his service. I was so happy with the service he did on my friends Q7 that I had him do a 40K service on my GL63. He charged me hundreds less than the dealer (but you do miss out on the dealers free donuts and free car wash LOL) and took care of a couple of minor stuff I wasnt aware of at no cost! Not only that, but he also brought to my attention that my headlight alignment were off; something the MB dealer never informed me after multiple safety inspection and scheduled services there. Thats what you call service!One downside is that the father and son are BUSY! So make sure to call and schedule an appointment!
I brought in my 2015 Audi A3 2.0 Quattro to VAS Motor Works for its 35,000 mile service. Kenny, the shop owner was super professional and responsive when I call him for a quote which was at more than $400 less than if I had taken the car to the Audi Dealership (Royal Motors) for the service.I had peace of mind that my A3 was in good hands as Kenny is a certified Audi Technician and worked for Royal Motors for over 13+ years.Kenny and his son performed the work flawlessly and identified that I had a coolant leak that the Audi Dealership never noticed previously when I brought my car in for service. Kenny informed me that I should take the car back to the Audi Dealership to have the issue resolved as my vehicle is still under warranty. He he even told me which service rep I should speak to as he still keeps in touch with his former colleagues at Royal Motors.Overall, I was very satisfied as a customer and highly recommend VAS Motor Works to anyone needing service or repair for their Audi or VW. You will be impressed with the personal service that the mom and pop shop offers and to the attention to detail.
A father and son team. Polite and patient. After noting the concerns I had about noises coming from my vehicle, Ken explained what he would do. After the service, explained what they did and what to watch out for before the next service.
Kenny is always honest and diligent on completing the work. I rely on him for all yhe work to be done on my vehicles.
They know tdis like nobody else
After fumbling around finding knowledgeable and good mechanic shops, I was blessed to find Kenny (and now Alvin) taking care of my Audi and VW. Their knowledge and attention to detail gives me the piece of mind that my cars will be well treated. Their new location is conveniently located by the Polk corridor and makes commuting to the Financial District a breeze. I have referred friends and co-workers to VAS Motorworks and everyone loves their service.
They had my car fixed extremely quickly. The technical advisors are real professionals.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I really like dealing with Kenny, and trust him to take care of my car and charge me a fair price for the work done.
My Audi is being well taken care of here. Kenny has experience on Audis and knows what hes doing.Hope not to be a regular, but definitely not shopping for another place.
So glad I found these guys. I just purchased a audi a3 and had never owned one before.kenny and alvin where so much help thanks for everything.
Knowledgeable professionals that I am glad I found. I am a repeat and satisfied customer for my Volkswagen maintenance and service.
Excellent timely service. Highly recommend!
Best quality work in town, best price, very simple!
Kenny and Alvin (an awesome team) are both very knowledgeable and certified with Volkswagen and Audi. I had my Audi RS4 and BMW M3 serviced by Vas Motor Works and was very delighted with all the repairs on both of the vehicles. Kenny (very respectfully and reasonably) let me know on my options based upon the diagnostic for a total repair cost and his recommendation without pushing any unnecessary extra hours of labor costs for him. Kenny finished the work thoroughly and when I went to pick up my car, he gave me a detailed analysis of everything that was performed along with some recommendation on potential issues that may be forth coming. Kenny and Alvin took their time in explaining to me with the detail works that were completed and were very thorough in providing the summary on the work accomplished. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with their service and professionalism and I would highly recommend this shop to every VW & Audi owner. Vas Motor Works is a great independent VW & Audi service shop in San Francisco which offers an excellent service (professional and courteous) along with a highly convenient hours of operation.
Best place for imports
Dealer quality without the price
