I’ve been taking my car to Matt for almost 10 years now and he’s always been extremely honest, patient with my questions, and very professional. His pricing has always been fair and very transparent. I recently had to get my water pump and thermostat replaced and Matt, Mike at the front desk, and Arthur, were extremely communicative and kept me in the loop the whole time and got the car back to me quickly. I just want to reiterate, if you have a VW/Audi/Porsche do not look elsewhere. Matt and his team are it!

I’ve been coming to Matt’s A+ for close to 3 years and I couldn’t recommend their service enough! IT’S WORTH EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR!! Matt himself is incredibly knowledgeable of VW’s. I have saved at the very least $4k with the work Matt has done on my 2013 Tiguan. On one occasion Matt worked on my car’s shifter on the spot and saved me $1450 on the bushing for the shifter’s actuator cable. That was pure luck as he had the part available. Previously I was having issues with the turbo, but because Matt invested on a new tool that would reduce labor time, he made the repair incredibly cost efficient and I saved myself having to buy a new turbine. I really can’t be thankful enough to Matt’s A+ Car Care for the high end, professional level of care he offers. If you have an Audi or VW you MUST bring it here. Save yourself diagnostic costs at dealerships that charge you for driving on their lots.

I've been knowing Matt for about 4 yrs now. All I can think of is positive things about this hard working man! He is one of the most honest mechanics out there! Will never sugar coat the situation, all straight to the point. He is there to help you and give you the best customer service one can give. Matt has helped me with my build. From tunes to coding to performance parts to oem parts! Do not hesitate coming to his shop. Him and his team do great professional work! Better than the dam dealer. Thank you Matt for all your help man. Appreciate you bro!!

I have taken my MK4 R32 and MK7.5 Golf R here several times for many services. The guys at the shop get the job done quickly and correctly and maintain a very good level of communication. The prices are fair and the results are always as desired. Highly recommend this shop to take care of your car!

I highly recommend this shop. It has been my go-to for my VW SUV for the last 8 years. Honest, professional mechanics, a clean and organized shop, and friendly, responsive staff who always get the job done — all at very competitive prices.

I took my 2016 Tiguan here because it was running rough and the EPC light had come on. The codes that came on initially indicated that it was an issue with the timing chain. If this had been the case the cost of the repair would have been more than the car is worth at this point. They could have pulled the engine partially apart to check the chain but this would be hours of work just to see if it was, in fact, the chain and might have cost me a few hundred dollars just to find out that the major repair wasn't worth it. I have known mechanics that would have pushed for this work to ensure that they made at least a little knowing that there was good chance I wouldn't be able to do the larger job that needed done. Matt, on the other hand, was knowledgeable and honest enough to recommend a much simpler potential issue that could be checked on faster (and therefore for cheaper) and, if it was the issue repaired far cheaper as well. The issue did end up being the simpler fix and they had it done for me early the next day. The car is running great now. I highly appreciate the great work done and especially Matt using his expertise to look beyond the codes. A couple of quick things to note: 1) I called and spoke with Mike - who was also very helpful - and was able to bring my car in right away for diagnoses. 2) The initial diagnoses was free - the cost I refer to above is for additional work that needed to be done to confirm and that could have potentially taken hours so, obviously, had additional cost. 3) They use the same parts that the dealer would use, but without the insane markup. These guys have earned my business for as long as I have a VW and I highly recommend them.

Today was my first visit, I found out about this place from the MKSIX fb page, its too bad i didn't know about this place sooner! VW specialized, And the fact they do LIQUI MOLY is really great 👍 driving uber/lyft full time i need an oil change almost twice a month. Will be coming here from now on! (2017 Jetta 1.4t) Edit: i moved to Las Vegas and the one thing i miss about California is having a trusted mechanic. There's no shop like Matt's out in vegas unfortunately. 😭

Consistently one of the best auto shops around. Mechanics pay attention to the little details, checking belts, tire wear, fluids, etc and warn early of needed preventative maintenance items. They really know VWs, the quirks and such, diagnose well, and do a good job in repairs. Not one of those rush in and out shops that only do what you tell them - those don't check your car - so call, drop off the car, enjoy an afternoon away while the work gets done. No, not local Vietnamese in Little Bolsa cheap, but for the level of service, expertise, and clean, neat waiting area with comfy seats, highly recommended for anyone with a VW. Both friends with Bugs have theirs serviced here, always a good experience.

I recently moved here from Georgia and the same mechanic has worked on my VW for the last 7 years. I have a 2002 DIESEL VW BUG. I have found a new mechanic in Matt. He is professional, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable.

Super helpful, my car's pretty low so I have to tie up my exhaust as scrapes and it fell off as I was driving. Luckily next to their shop, they gave me a piece of wire to tie it up

They have two master mechanics. Family owned, and much better deal than the dealership service center. Update! Just got some minor modifications done today at Matt's and very happy with the outcome. Had a big smile on my face all the way home.

Matt is awesome! I brought my Audi, a car that he specializes in, and he knew what was up with it and was very knowledgeable in giving me advice on how to maintain it. It was to the point where I even brought my Mercedes to him because he uses top tier German tier German products. I trust this shop and the staff, they’re cool people and easy to talk to and have a laugh with. Very reasonable as well.

Found this shop after cross-referencing Reddit, Yelp, and Google. I was looking for a solid, independent garage for my Audi A5’s 20k service after getting quoted $700+ at the dealership. Called a few times to ask about oil changes and the 20k service and was able to talk to both Matt and Mike. I felt they were honest people with reasonable and transparent pricing so ended up scheduling with them a few days later. Matt was the one who ended up working on my car and it took 3-4 hours or maybe shorter. I decided to wait there and work on my laptop on one of the two small couches they have in the front but I think most decided to drop off and come back later to pick up. My final cost was around $200, which I thought was very reasonable. Matt was very personable and knowledgeable and I believe he did good work. It’s always difficult to find a reliable and honest shop for the first time but I think this place is a great one if you have an Audi or VW. It’s a bit of a drive for me but I’ll still be coming back for future services!

I’ve been bringing my car in to Matt way before he moved to this location. I remember when I went through a divorce, my then husband said that as long as I kept the GLI, to always bring it to Matt. Everyone there is super helpful and knowledgeable. The peace of mind that comes from taking my car in for service/repairs to a place where integrity and good ethics are practiced, is unmatched. The only reason I’ve kept my car this long is because of that and the only reason I’ll get another VW or Audi is because I have a trustworthy mechanic. Thanks y’all.
