5 /5 Nhan Lam: As a woman, sometime I feel like automotive shops take advantage of me by charging me more for services.
I needed to get fluid change on my Volkswagen Golf. My husband is really into cars and said he would help me out, but also wanted me to learn.
I didnβt know where to go so I first went to the dealer. The quote for AWD service was $212 plus tax and fees. It is called the haldex service. My husband told me that dealerships are not always the best option. He said taught me that for VW they usually just drain and fill not clean the pump screen.
I wanted another quote so I searched for european automotive shops and found Conaway. But they wanted $513 for the haldex service!
That is when my husband stepped in to help me. He had enough and so he ordered the fluid from VW for the haldex and rear differensial and sent me to Top Spec.
I guess they work on his mustang and he likes them. With part supply, it was less than $200 out the door. So I guess I will use my husbandβs shop since they are honest. But I donβt like trying to find parking there. They keep too many cars and so it makes the parking lot stressful. But aside from that, they are awesome!
