I have nothing but good things to say about Steve and his professionalism and ability.
I took my car into him, after finding him on NTAG, to have my cam replaced due to a worn out follower. He was able to complete the job so quickly and at a price point that didn't break my 'college budget' bank.
A little back story, was driving my car and started to have idle issues(fluctuation as if the computer was trying to over compensate.) I then had a whining noise develop shortly after. I diagnosed the cam to be the issue after I pulled the pump and saw a hole in my cam follower). He swapped out the cam, fuel pump, follower, water pump, and various other parts required to complete the job. He also did a timing belt service and my 034 HiFlow Cat.
He gets the car put back together this morning and the whining is still there; however. it was not his fault. I had the car towed from Autoscope, in pieces, after they quoted me a price above my budget(nearly double what Steve quoted me). Turns out to have been the PCV valve(making the noise and idle issues), picked one up and swapped it out...
Good thing I misdiagnosed the cam as the fault though, it was toast!!
Car is back to normal now, no codes, no fuel cut, BIG SMILE ON MY FACE!!!
He cleaned my car as well, though, I wouldn't have blamed him for not cleaning it... it was a mess and I APOLOGIZE to him and every other Audi owner for that, I am not a messy person.
Want to give my solid recommendation for his service! If anyone has questions, please feel free to contact me by PM on here.
Apparently, Steve will be posting a thread on my cam replacement full of pictures and such... So be on the look out for it!!
Thanks again Steve,
JOHN
