    hmmm would you say the quality of workmanship sucks or just their pricing?? ive heard some mixed feelings about this place...based on how they go about answering their phone or lack there-of (aka no answer/ straight to an answering machine) kinda makes me think twice about their work ethics

    a bit off topic, but seems as though i have a red icon under my name?? i may have been flagged or shamed for trying to sell my rims...wtf mates? is that how this forum operates? on first strike you get flagged? no warning before deletion of a post? sorry i didnt fully read the rules on when and how you are allowed to post items for sale, let alone notice the classifieds, but dont think a red flag should have been issued or whatever for an honest mistake ...and if the admin is reading this please inform me on how i can get my 'cool points' back?? wasnt trying to hurt anybody's feelings here just trying to get rid of my wheels and possibly make a friend or two in the process...either way kinda perplexing...any insight??

    they suck b/c they gave you a price for something you didn't like? eurotech sucks thats why you have to schedule appointments that are 2 weeks out ... eurotech is one of the most reputable shops in atlanta, how many shops do you know their owners give out his personal cars to his customers when they didn't reach a deadline? i do Brian from eurotech has tossed me the keys to both his GLI and the Rally before; i've been doing this a long time and NO other shop I have seen has done that

    Brian and the crew up at EPG are some of the best guys in atlanta to work with; i don't rock many sponsors in my personal sig but \/ EPG

    Whats up with eurotechs website? do they need another experienced web programmer like myself to finish it for them? is brian the owner of EPG? i should talk to them to see if i can contract this webdesign for them...

    aii here is the scoop...all three: VW city/ EPG/ BarryPalmer all quoted me the same price on the timing belt job....$800.. i went w/ Barry's cuz he could fit me in this week opposed to the VW city and EPG which could only sched me to drop the car off late next week...my car is in desperate need of some attention so i went ahead and decided to go w/ the Barry Palmer...

    during the VAG scan he tells me i need a new coilpack, some new plugs, a new DV, and fuel pump, along with the timing belt kit that i had orignally planned on having done Does this seem right that all this can go bad at the same time?? or is this guy trying to make some $$ off me?? either way im probaably gonna write it off as an expense but that money is still coming out of my pocket and wont be seen till next tax season...anyone have anything to say about barrypalmers shop i should worry about?? he seemed like a pretty honest guy but you never know these days...

    Look at my thread about my swap and I got a huge quote from him but most of it was parts so I saved about $1500 by buying my own parts from www.PAP-parts.com they had everything i needed.

    Well guys i got my car back last week..i did drop a bit of chedder..but man ill tell you what...my car is running stronger then it ever has...Mike(y?) sure does know his ish....whats funny is i see a guy wearing an EPG teeshirt gettin his 'Rado' worked on kinda caught me offgaurd, i dunno if that guy worked for EPG or if he was a customer of theirs at one point and they gave him a shirt or what??...but i guess BarryPalmer and his son really know VW's either way...i should have asked the guy if he was from EPG that was standing there and whats up about their website..now i need to find someone to put in some springs/shocks/ and tackle the control arms while its all apart....but either way a good experience...thanks for the plug

    Do you think they'll do that for everyone though? I could see them doing it for you because of who you are, and how much exposure you give them. Not saying theyre a good or bad shop cause I've never been there. But would they do that for just any ole average joe?

    actually they have done it for quite a few customers... funny thing one day i'm out during the week off of jimmy carter at hooters and i see brians gli pull up... i'm like WTF someone stole his car ... i call brian... what my car where is it? it is at hooters where w/ me... some cubby white kid is driving it w/ two other white guys w/ him... oh its john doe we have his ride here and are still working on it waiting for some more parts to come in

    i'm friends w/ lots of shops and this is the only shop i have seen do this; which to me is pretty impressive b/c i highly doubt his insurance covers customer driving shop cars... let alone 5k in rims on that gli
