Bert and Jacks downtown, straight up guys

I took my VW in here (to test before I would take my Audi), it ran great, but had an engine light triggered. Long story short is they did a good job but were VERY VERY VERY expensive. Lets just say I spent close to $1000 to have it diagnosed a belt and thermo replaced.

They originally charged me $160 to run the code.... I just moved back from the US where I was going to Beach House Imports and paying $49 AND if was something major, they would just wave the charge assuming I got the work done there.

Hourly rates were $160, which I find hard to swallow for basic mechanical work. They were nice, and did a good job, but had my car for close to a week and just felt they charged too much. Although, they do offer credits towards future work and road side assistance.

Just my one experience there. I think I'll shop around a bit on where to take the A4.

At 160/hr, I would be at the stealership. That is absolutely ridiculous. My experience says take it to George at Tunedub or Lawrence at Calgary Autoworks. I try to do most of my own work, but when I just can't do it without a hoist, it goes to either of these shops.

The dealership rate is $135.
As I stated before - 2Square introduced a "floating rate" - the customer is charged based on the circumstances .....
Looks like their business model works well on a "certain group of users".
(I've got a timing belt quote without specifying the engine model => wizards, indeed)

I took my Audi to Two Square a couple of times. Never again. I stopped going to Glenmore Audi because of their over charging and sloppy job. Two Square wasn't much better. They caused oil to leak all over my garage. Now I only take my Audi to Tunedub. I've taken another car (a Mercedes) to Mid Town as well and they did a good job.

TuneDub - Word ! <- the waiting list isnt that long they work fast !


My 05 TT's clutch started to Slip, i aint got no garage either its booked into TubeDub. I cant wait its been garaged for a few weeks now till i could afford it. However Tune dub is always my first choice.

However my father is the kinda guy who likes a bargain, so he decided he was gonna call around and get price quotes for me cause he's like that. Soo.......After i made him promise not to get quotes from mechanics who don't know audi's i let him do it.

After a few days he came to me looking rather disgusted and said i quit ! Then he gave me that look hes given me for 30 years and said your $#%&ed.

Some quotes he got

Dealerships : Theres only 2 of them in calgary. They are the typical install oem parts at oem prices and put on by most likely good audi trained mechanics for an oem price.

Midtown : They wouldent do it at all, unless they got the clutch and sold it back to me on the bill. No deal I pick the clutch

German Car Spec/2Square <-- This is why pops quit
They gave him 2 quotes

1) Clutch with no flywheel + labor = 2400+ Dollars
2) Clutch with flywheel "Dual Mass" + labor = 5200+ Dollars
These quotes made dad turn green and right then and there he got out of the game.

Good thing too, i hear heart attacks suck !

My opinions -

1) Tunedub
2) Concept One
3) Calgary Autoworks
4) BushMaster
5) Dealerships
