Question Searching for a Mechanic

All,

My daughter is having an issue with her 2000 Volkswagon Jetta VR6. Please PLEASE PLEASE.....don't blast me about it being a Volkswagon. I know I made a mistake by buying it and have learned my lesson!

I am looking fro a "GOOD" Mechanic. one that might actually be able to fix the problems the first time!! I have had it in the shop several times for the same things and I need to get it fixed.

Does anyone have any recommendations in the Lexington Park area?

Don't know anyone in Lexington Park, but I've always used Bill's Foreign Auto (301) 843-9073 in Waldorf (located in St. Charles, 35 Henry Ford Circle # B near the emissions testing center). I found him when I had bought a BMW several years ago and continue to use him for my Audi today. Great guy and he really knows his stuff when it comes to the German cars.

Might help if you tell us what is wrong with it that several visits can't fix.

I'm sure they use nitrogen and not air, that's what all the smart drivers use.. .. I mean AIR?
