Terry is the best mechanic I have ever worked with period. Why? This isn't his job, it's his passion. He is a true automotive enthusiast. I'm pretty sure if you were to cut him 110 octane gasoline would leak out of him. Terry has been working on my vehicles for over 10 years. I tried 3-4 other VW mechanics in the Bay Area before I discovered him. (New Dimensions, AVS, Broadway VW) Not only did they not care to strike up a report with their customers none of them did a very good job on my car. Not only is he the best mechanic of the bunch, he is the most honest as well. He has always taken fantastic care of me and all my vehicles. One time I called him on the phone to schedule an appt for my car, and he was there at the shop at 8pm and took my call. I described the problem over the phone, and he told me to stop at a car parts place, which tools to get and what supplies i would need to fix it myself since I was 250 miles away. It totally solved the problem. Most recently he rebuilt a 1979 VW bus engine and transmission for me - and when I say rebuilt, that's a true understatement it went in a tired underpowered 50hp brick who's top speed was barely 60, and came back a superpowered torque monster at 200hp (I don't dare floor it yet without upgrading the brakes) but it cruises easily at 80 now. I'd give him 11 stars if I could. He is simply the best. I honestly can't sing his praises high enough. He is the rockstar of auto mechanics.
