5 /5 Matthew McLellan: Too Quicks is the best custom German mechanic on the west coast, period. As an early water-cooled enthusiast, I wouldnt recommend anyone else. I put a VRt from an Audi tt in an 86 golf. They didnt wince at any custom requests. I put a 2.0 ABA from a mk3 gti into a mk1 cabbi. They didnt hesitate to make suggestions and help with electrical.
These guys are hands down, the best. The shop is always packed with cars because theyre so well known for their work by the VW community. Demand is high. Labor per hour is just a step above your run-of-the-mill mechanic, but the diligence and workmanship is light years beyond what anyone else is capable of. The price is more than fair. Too Quicks always make sure everything is done right and built to last.
They also have a knack for going through the car and fixing all the little things that any other mechanic would skip over. I went in for a quick alternator swap and, before I could pick the car up, they also tightened my loose door bracket, fixed the sunroof seal, and popped in a few door panel plugs in that they had laying spare.
Theyre not the fastest in the world because of their popularity, but if you give them the time they need, you wont regret it.
Ive had the opportunity to meet Cliff, Chuck, and Robert on separate occasions and they are all very accommodating- especially if you provide them with flexibility.
Just dont take them your botched projects and theyll be more than happy to work with you. If they work on something, they like to send it home with you done the right way.
Cliff wont hesitate to tell you that youre borrowing trouble when you try to fix things with a bandaid.
Theyll also always explain everything you need to know about what theyre doing to your car and why.
They have my business for life.
Attached are a few pictures of the projects theyre helped me with.
