Re: Mechanic for 1999 V6 Passat
I know a great shop for Volkwagen repair-its on San Pablo by Omega 2 and is called AVS Specialists. I have a 2000 Passat station wagon and they always do my service. The owner, Eddie knows all about Volkswagens and can tell what's wrong in a drive around the block. He explains what I need and gets my car back to me in a day or two. Their prices are good and Eddie goes through the bill with so I know that I'm getting what I pay for. The shop is terrific! The phone number is 981-1837. Volkswagen fan

Re: Mechanic for 1999 V6 Passat
We have been taking our Passat and Audi to AVS on San Pablo for several years, and as far as I'm concerned, they are the best around. They only work on VW and Audi and they really know their stuff. Eddie Delgado, the owner, is always there and provides amazing customer service. They don't overcharge, don't do work that doesn't need to be done, and always try to look for options that will save money if possible. When we were less than thrilled with a recent interaction with an employee (who is no longer there), Eddie bent over backwards to make things right.

It's such a pleasure to deal with someone who really stands behind their work. I highly recommend you go to AVS. Their number is 981-1837 and they are at 2210 San Pablo, a few blocks south of University. Happy to have found AVS

Re: VW service in Berkeley or Oakland?
I’ve been a Volkswagen owner since the mid 80s and spent many years trying to find a reliable and capable mechanic for my cars. I think I’ve really found a gem in AVS Specialists on San Pablo at Allston. I’ve owned a Jetta, a Golf and now a Passat and I have never had such great service. The owner, Eddie is a younger guy but he has experience beyond his years. He knows everything about Volkswagens and is great at diagnosing problems quickly and efficiently. He can work on older cars as well as new ones and does a great job. His prices are very reasonable and he always gets my car back to me the same day. I’d call AVS Specialists the next time you need service-510.981.1837. Finally found a great shop

Re: Where do you take your Audi?
Hi, I saw your message asking about where to take your Audi for repair services. I have owned Audis since the mid 1980s and have finally found a repair and maintenance business devoted to them. AVS Specialists on San Pablo works only on Audis and Volkwagens and is a great shop. The owner, Eddie, loves Audis and knows everything about them. They have very skilled and experienced mechanics and can diagnose any problem. They are reasonably priced and have a good turn around time. AVS is at 2210 San Pablo Ave and the phone number is 510.981.1837 Long Time Audi Owner

Re: Where to take my Passat with McNevin gone
I am a long time Volkswagen owner and I wouldn't take my car anywhere but AVS Specialists on San Pablo by Omega 2. The owner, Eddie Delgado, works only on Volkswagens and Audis and is a true expert on all aspects of them. He is honest and reliable and is really good when it comes to helping you make decisions about when and why to make repairs. The phone number is 510.981.1837 and the address is 2210 San Pablo. Happy Volkswagen Owner

Re: Local VW repair shop? (June 2006)
Hi, For people looking for a great Volkswagen shop, you couldn't do better than to go to AVS Specialist at 2210 San Pablo next to Omega 2. The owner, Eddie Delgado has about 20 years of experience with Volkswagens and Audis and his mechanics are dealer trained. He will explain what's wrong with your car in terms you can understand and will help you set priorities for what needs to be fixed. They only use high-end parts so when your car gets fixed, it stays fixed. They also send you reminders so you know when to come back for service.

Last time I was there Eddie told me some ways to drive better to improve my fuel comsumption as well. I can't recommend AVS highly enough. The phone number is 510.981.1837
Happy Volkswagen Owner

Re: Mechanic for 1999 Audi (May 2005)
Hi, If you need service on your Audi, you should go to AVS Specialists at 2210 San Pablo Ave in Berkeley (they are next door to Omega 2). I have been having my Audis serviced by the owner, Eddie Delgado, for the past 15 years and I couldn't be happier with the work he has done. He diagnoses the problem using both computer technology and plain know-how and manages to get the car fixed in a day or two. I have never had to take my car back to get a repair ''repaired''.

Eddie explains what the problem was and gives me advice for how to maintain my car better myself. He also sends me reminders for when standard maintenance should be done. I think he's great.

The phone number at AVS is 981-1837.
A Happy AVS Customer

Re: Looking for good and honest VW mechanic (Nov 2005)
I just took my VW Cabrio to AVS Specialists (510-981-1837) on San Pablo next to Omega 2 in Berkeley. Two weeks before that I had my 30,000 mile check up at McNevin and was shocked by what they wanted to charge me for some break repair. So, I tried AVS for the first time. They diagnosed the same brake problem (without me telling them anything) and charged almost $300 less to fix it. The owner, Eddie, also explained everything to me clearly and respectfully. My husband took the car back the next day as planned to have the interior light fixed while he waited. On his way he noticed a slight rattle. Eddie checked it out and found something slightly loose from the day before. He fixed it immediately and refused to let my husband pay for the light or the labor to install it. I felt well taken care of at AVS for a reasonable price in an honest way. I will definitely return again and can certainly recommend them. anon

Re: Good repair shop for our out-of-warranty VW's (Feb 2005)
I can recommend a new shop that I had a wonderful experience with. It is AVS Specialists (510-981-1837) and is in Berkeley at 2210 San Pablo a couple of blocks south of University, next to Omega 2.

They only work on Audis and Volkswagens. The owner, Eddie Delgado, has been working on Audis and VWs for over 15 years. He did a thorough inspection of my car and figured out what was going on with it and what needed to be done. He made sure I clearly understood what work needed to be done now, as well as what could be postponed, helping me save money. While Eddie was explaining all this to me, he treated me like I was an intelligent person who didn't need to be talked down to because I am not especially versed in the inner workings of cars.

He fixed my car the same day I dropped it off! He even gave me a ride and picked me up from the BART station. Their number is 510 981-1837. I highly recommend AVS.

finally found a great auto repair shop
