They either don't know what they're doing or they knowingly overcharge anyone who "looks" naïve or vulnerable. Read - seniors or women unaccompanied by their husbands or fathers. Because this is 1950, eye roll.. Jay is the real deal. Yes, Apna Garage is a modest shop tucked away behind a gas station. But how many mechanics have a legit 5 star Yelp rating? I'll wait.. The reason is because no-one is as honest, humble or as kind as Jay is. You can drop off your car which is very convenient. Jay diagnosed mine and explained everything in plain English without being patronizing. He's very responsive to messages, gave an honest assessment and didn't try to overcharge or upsell me. He even rode in the car with me to make sure I was comfortable driving it and that my needs were met. In short, Jay will be my mechanic for LIFE. 100% recommend. Thanks Jay!

I like how the prices were clearly visible and how they explained to me the difference of the two different synthetic oils. Jarrell also showed me the oil level on my dipstick. I chose the Mobile Advance synthetic which lasts 8-10 thousand miles, while their brand lasts 5 thousand miles. I like how they honored the $25 coupon I requested a couple days in advance.

Since it was within walking distance, I figured I could get my oil changed while taking care of my appointment and have my car ready by the time I was finished. When I returned, I was informed that two of my tires needed to be replaced, my battery was failing, and I needed new windshield wipers. My initial thought was to have them write everything up so I could take the car to my job and have the work done there. However, the technician showed me my tires, and they were worn all the way down to the white threads. At that point, I wasn't sure I'd safely make it back to Buford, so I decided to have the work done on the spot. While I was waiting, my mom picked me up and took me home. As time passed, I started reading online reviews and quickly became concerned because many customers had negative experiences and complained about long delays. Since I really needed my vehicle, I called the shop for an update. I was told they had to pick up my tires from another location, and since it was already close to 5:00 PM, I worried they wouldn't finish before closing. When I asked what time they closed, I was told 7:00 PM and assured the car would be ready that day. To their credit, they delivered exactly as promised. Before closing, they called to let me know everything was completed. I was relieved that my experience was not like many of the reviews I had read. The next day, my mom and I happened to be back in the area. She reminded me that after spending all that money on repairs, I should see if they could help with my headlight. I'd been driving around for months with a replacement bulb because I couldn't get the housing open to install it myself. We stopped by, and my mom went inside. A few minutes later, the same gentleman who had helped me the day before came outside, changed the bulb for me, and asked why I hadn't mentioned it earlier. Honestly, with everything else going on, it wasn't even on my mind. He took care of it quickly, and I was very appreciative. Overall, I had a positive experience. The staff was honest about the condition of my tires, completed the work when they said they would, and even helped me with an issue I hadn't originally come in for. Based on my experience, I hope the business has made improvements and continues providing this level of service to future customers.

Bavarian Imports on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta referred me to Karma VW and Audi in Scottdale,…read morelocated just northeast of Decatur in DeKalb County. Bavarian referred me to Karma for a second opinion after Bavarian recommended a $6,000 engine replacement for my 2001.5 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T with about 303,000 miles. You can read my Yelp review of Bavarian for details on that. My service advisor at Bavarian said my engine had maybe six months before it would brick (die) and that I should consider putting that $6k instead into a new or used car. As the original owner of my car (still original engine too), I didn't want to give up on it just yet. I took my car to Karma, got that second opinion, and Karma saved my car. It's starting and running better than it has in a long time. General manager Jonathan Parker and mechanic Mike truly are VW specialists. Thank you, Jon and Mike! If you have an old VW or Audi and are looking for a good mechanic in the Atlanta area, this shop is worth the drive. It was for me. Karma is the sixth independent VW/Audi specialty garage I've taken my car to since 2009 and about 105,000 miles. Before then, I took my car to VW dealers. Jon has worked at three VW dealers and two independent garages. One thing that makes Karma different from other independent garages I've been to is Jon and Mike like to do things by the book. Other shops were/are OK with shortcuts and workarounds that aren't factory spec, so keep that in mind if you've had work done to your car that isn't to original VW/Audi design settings. I took my car to Karma (and Bavarian) to diagnose my engine occasionally misfiring upon cold starts. Karma's diagnosis was completely different than Bavarian's. Bavarian said old valve guide seals were causing oil to leak into my cylinders. Karma's diagnosis, per my invoice, was: "Found fault codes stored for secondary air injection. Found someone has misrouted vacuum hoses and blocked several off. Ran output test on secondary air pump. Failed. Found kombi valve sticking open, which allows water vapor from exhaust to build in secondary air pump, which has killed it and popped fuse." Yes, I was aware my previous two mechanics/shops had done various work to my secondary air injection system. Lately, I was OK with "deleting" or removing the secondary air injection system because I was told by at least one VW/Audi specialist that the system was for emissions only and that it didn't affect the running of the car. That was true to a certain extent as I drove my car for several years with the P0411 check engine light code for "Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow Detected." What Karma did solved that problem. Mike performed the following, per invoice: wiring repair at ignition coil harness, removed bumper and replaced secondary air pump and mounts, replaced kombi valve and cracked 90-degree hose, replaced fuse for secondary air pump in ECM box, properly routed vacuum hoses and replaced all of them, and set readiness code to ensure no other engine performance issues. All of this work, parts and labor, cost about $2,500. Mike found some other stuff wrong with my car, which I authorized he and Jon to fix. Mike replaced: my leaking valve cover gasket and camshaft adjuster seals, faulty blow-off valve, and boost pressure control valve. This other work, parts and labor, cost about $1,000. My total bill was $3,477.94. As Jon put it, "Better than a new car payment." I agree. At the time of my visit, Karma's labor rate was $140 per hour. For comparison, less than two weeks prior when I was at Bavarian, their labor rate was $150 per hour. I have no idea what VW and Audi dealer rates are like these days. The bottom of my invoice says all of Karma's work comes with a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty, which is the same as any VW dealer. One thing I really liked about my experience with Karma was the after-hours drop-off and pick-up. I was able to drop off and pick up my car when it was convenient for me. I didn't have to take off work or wake up really early or anything like that. I actually never once visited this shop when they were open. All communications I had with Jon were via Yelp messaging (initially, to set up my appointment), email (to get an estimate in writing/PDF), and phone calls. I paid over the phone too. Convenient. I will say, over the phone, Jon talked really fast for me and sometimes, it was hard to hear/understand him, so it was hard for me to process all of the information he was telling me. We think at different speeds and I'm slower. Also, I'm not a VW expert like him. In general, I try to understand all of the issues and work done to my car. Just from our phone conversations, I could tell Jon was very busy taking other calls and seeing other customers come into the shop. I could hear all the activity and he had to ask me to hold several times, which I didn't mind. Based on this experience, I plan to take my Passat to Karma for service for the foreseeable future.
