I have booked a gear linkage and thermostat repair job my 1996 vw golf and so far have been extremely impressed with the professional and knowledgeable staff at volks affair. Having some car knowledge myself and having done research about the requirements for these 2 jobs I must say the volks affair team knew exactly how long the job should take and how much the job is going to cost and are very very competitive price. I don't usually leave reviews but oh I am so impressed with how great the service is here. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating while you wait.

Will update the outcome when the car is finished but I must say I have full trust in their workmanship from the moment I first spoke with volks affair team:)

***Update***

Repairs to my gear linkage and thermostat issue have been carried out to top notch quality! Genuinely 10/10 job!

Feels like a brand new car. Gears are solid and shifts same as the day it came out of the factory!
The thermostat issue that the team at volks affair easily diagnosed and repaired at my request has solved the temperature gauge fluctuations and car operates at optimal temperature as it should now.

Big thanks and keep up the great work
Will definitely be back for any future repairs if needed

I have been a customer at Volks Affair since 1998. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my 2 Kombi's. One of my Kombi's is 40 years old and I get Volks Affair to service it before I go on a long outback road trip. Since 2013 I have clocked up 18,000 kms in the outback and haven't had any mechanical trouble at all thanks to Volks Affair. I wouldn't go to any other mechanic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I took my 2000 Beetle in for a second opinion after a failed roadworthy certificate from somewhere else. The staff were very efficient and transparent about the repairs that needed to be done and I didn't feel pressured to commit like I had at other places. I was really happy with the customer service and found the pricing honest and reliable. I ended up having Volks Affair do the repairs and am very happy with the results and the timely turnaround. I will be returning for future servicing and repairs.

Originally was quoted an outlandish amount for repairs on my Golf by a competitor, the guys at Volks Affair looked at my vehicle and knocked off a significant amount giving me a huge saving. The car is in great condition, and I have felt well looked after by the team. Great work Volks Affair - will definitely be coming back!

Michelle and the team have looked after my Caddy really well over the past 5 years, including fixing my botched home engine replacement. Ha. They do a thorough job, highly recommended.

Timely and friendly service with very helpful guidance on repairs and next steps for trade in or private sale for Audi A6.

Very happy with the outcome. A VW dealer suggested I buy a whole new Sat Nav for $5500 because it couldn't be repaired and you fixed it for less than $300. Thank you!

Been coming here for many years. Great service, honest pricing. The team give you a sense of assurance that your car is going to be looked after!

Charged through the nose and weren’t very polite. Somehow made my 50k driven 2010 polos service into a 3k affair

These guys are great! Recently purchased a golf gti and needed it serviced and these guys were able to book me in two days after I called. I needed a minor service and a suspension issue fixed and they were done within a few hours!

Great service and were fairly priced:) Will be using Volks Affair again!

These guys almost killed my partner when they did work that resulted in a fire destroying my car. Court action pending. Do not take your car here!

Fantastic service, very fairly priced, and always let you know what needs to be done, and what can wait. Such a refreshing contrast to the gouging of dealership servicing.

The team at Volks Affair did an amazing job with my Volkswagen Passat CC. It was a complete transmission overhaul and Matt did a great job trying to diagnose the issue, find second hand (cheaper) alternatives and was very communicative and forthcoming with information. I also had a Roadworthy Certificate completed, and cannot recommend their services more. The official Volkswagen Service and Repair guys are a complete rip-off in comparison. Thank you Volks Affair!

I've had my car serviced by Volks Affair many times and each time have been completely satisfied with the quality of work, their expertise and the costs for repairs.
