George repalced my timing belt tensioner by the end of the day when i needed it, less expensive and better customer service than the audi dealership!

Have been going to George for 3 years now, the BEST mechanic I have ever had, super accommodating and very honest!

2003 VW Beetle Turbo S
Originally, I had take my car to another dealer to get chipped. What a mistake that was. First thing that happened was CEL light. Researched and called up George from tunedub, he recommended the unitronic stage 1+ chip upgrade. Sounds good, and he fixed my CEL light for cheap! I'm impressed, I now have a hot fast beetle @ 225 hp/250 torque. woo hooo!

First time Audi owner, so I naturally went to dealer. Wow, talk about expensive. They provided good customer service, but no better than TuneDub. Really like these guys, good price, service, and never any problems with quality of work. Thanks!

2004 Audi A4 Quattro
First time Audi owner, had a tranni job done as well as some other things. Everything was done within days, got a great deal on a good tranni. Rates were very competitive, but most of all service was extraordinary, George is very accommodating and was willing to do whatever he could to get me on my way as soon as possible. I've been to many different mechanics and none of them can compare to Tunedub, I'll definitely be back.

Second time at TuneDub, second time walking out knowing George left me confident I wasn't being ripped off. Can't say the same about the dealers! He had it looked over and quoted me within a half hour. Great service, recommend tunedub for any v-dub owner.

JETTA
Good afternoon, My name is Preston and I was in today for a timing belt and various other work on my Jetta. I was referred to your shop by a co- worker. Thought I'd send a quick note of thanks. After years of being screwed over(at least part of the time) by dealerships with various makes of cars my expierence with your shop was the first time that I have left a mechanic without feeling unsure if I got a good price and if the work done was actually required! Once again thank-you and I will never take my VW anywhere else. Infact because of your service my next vehical will likely be a VW! Any chance I get I will send other VW owners your way. Regards, Preston

GTI
Hello, I just wanted to extend a huge appreciative thank-you to George & staff at Tunedub for getting my Mk4 GTI in and out so quickly after my timing belt broke. I was expecting my car to be out of commission for much longer than a couple of days, it was a refreshing change from typical VW dealer service. Thanks again! Brittany

2001 VW Jetta 1.8T
Was told about George and Tunedub by a co-worker. Brought my Jetta in to have the timing belt changed. Great work, definitely cheaper than the dealers. Now he is working on another issue, the ASR has stopped working. Looks like the diagnosis from the dealership was not correct and George is now looking at it. Tunedub will get all my business from now on.

2005 Audi A4 1.8t
Heard about George & Tunedub from a friend.Had timing belt,water pump and related items replaced,also had low heat output at idle, George/service techs check and found problem to be the blocked heater core,flushed, heat problem solved.Excellent service,knowledgeable fair price will be using Tunedub in the future

2000 Passat & 2005 Touareg
I needed major front end work on the Passat and the work was done fast and price was reasonable. I then had a misfire in my Touareg. I phoned George and he said to pop over. It was faulty coil packs. George had me in and out within an hour. He did the work himself. I will take my VWs to Tunedub from now on. Highly recommended!!

2000 VW Passat 4Motion
Well I tried replacing the cam chain tensioner seal by my self, and ended up braking a part of the top shoe. That was it, so I called up George, he was very helpful, turned out he had a new one in stock so I towed it to tune dub. Service was great, friendly and fast. George and his whole shop gets my full recommendation and thanks for the great service.

1992 VW Golf
After many negative experiences with other mechanics, I found George at TuneDub. I dropped it off in the morning before my shift (9-6). It needed rear wheel bearings, reverse light switch, brake lines, adjusted shift knob linkage, alternator properly remounted with new belt, spark plug replacements and many other things as well. I received a phone call around 4 pm letting me know that everything was done. I was shocked. I figured it would have taken longer, but not these guys. I went to start the car after paying for the service, but it didn't start. I talked to George, and he IMMEDIATELY fixed some loose/frayed cables on the battery and sent me on my way. I was completely stunned. Nobody has cared about my vehicle like this before!! My Golf has 525,000 km on it, and it runs absolutely amazing. I plan on driving it for a LONG time. I will be getting my 2005 A4 and my 1991 Passat Wagon serviced here later on as well.

00 Golf GLS 1.8T
I had heard about Tunedub through the grapevine and some forums. I had drove over 2 hours to get to Calgary and have my timing belt and associated parts and fuel filter changed. They had it done in under 5 hours. And fair priced! With over 255,000km's on my Golf now it still drives fantastic. Great job guys.

George fixed a mystery intermittent rattle coming from the car. It baffled, and annoyed the heck out of me, so I took it to the gurus at Tunedub. George was thorough, fair, and delivered what he promised. After a recent 1200km road trip, the car is rattle free and I couldn't be happier! Thanks George and crew for the excellent work!
Jon said...
2001 Jetta
I had taken my car to 2 different places and was put in touch with tunedub by a friend at BMW. George found the problem that others couldn't and was honest the whole time. - Something i see is quite rare in the business.
Keith said...
Jetta 2.0
My Jetta was overheating. George found a leaky hose and a cracked water pump - he was able to replace the parts very quickly and at a very fair price. But what really impressed me was that without me even asking and without charge he fixed the temperature gauge and some loose plastic panels under the engine. Many thanks!

2003 S6 Avant - 2003 GTI
In the last few months have used George's shop for a number of repairs to the my S6, sorting out some items for my old A4, and today sent my wife over with her GTI. Have used audi and vw dealers and specialty 3rd party shops in both Edmonton and Calgary and no question that quality and service at Tunedub is far and away superior. Absolutely beyond what I have dealt with anywhere. Complete confidence in recommending this shop to anyone. Extremely accomodating, fast turn around, and very clear on what does and does not need doing, and when. Pricing was significantly better than estimates from the dealers. Go nowhere else. Ken

Do not even consider going to the dealership to fix your VW. Just go see George at Tune Dub. When you experience the service, expertise and honesty here... you won't want to go anywhere else.
Steven McNabb said...

George and staff changed my timing belt and I couldn't be happier with the service that tunedub gave me. Future mods to come and will bring the car to tunedub for both maintenance and performance mods. Thanks
Serge said...
1.8T Jetta
George is the guy to go to! You can ask him anything and he'll tell you right on the spot what he can do and what he can't and he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. He replaced my coolant temp sensor and my bushings. I dropped it off at 8.30 and was done by 11.30. REALLY FAST and excellent work! NEVER EVER will i go to the dealership in my life. George is the kind mechanic you've always dreamed/wished to have. Will def go back to tunedub and get more work done. Next will be a chip and slamming my VDUB
Matt said...
2003 Jetta 1.8T
Used George a few times now - will never go back to dealership. Honest service, work and pricing. Don't go back to dealership!

George is fantastic- a mechanic you can trust! And that's a big deal, especially for a woman who knows next to nothing about cars.... Always excellent service and great prices delivered with a smile! I highly recommend George and his team.

George and the crew are the best. The dealer had me so mad, if not for George and the crew I would have sold the car. Excellent work.

My water pump went on Friday morning. Had the car at Tunedub by 10... ready by noon! Unbelievable service, rates, and professionalism. I will neve take my car anywhere else. Why would I? Cheapest rates and best service in the city by far!

Had some simple work done. I was quoted $500 and $250 at other places. Tunedub did it for $100, while I waited. A+

Since moving to Calgary a few years ago I have only taken my cars to Tunedub. Really I have never found a shop where you are treated better and more fairly than Tunedub. Very impressive and highly recommended.
Spencer C said...
2002 Audi S4
George is great. I have gone to him for simple things like oil changes and flushes, as well as more intense things like a clutch replacement and he ahs always been great. I am used to having to leavemy car at the dealer for days on end and never hearing a word but George is always done fast and keeps you in tehe loop on whats happening with your car. I will definately keep coming to him for service and recommend him to my friends as well.
Cameron Turnbull said...
06 2.5 Jetta
I've only had my servicing done at Tunedub. Shopped around, and what I found was (Prices won't be applicable to today's market as this was from 2 years ago) Dealer cost $235 Dealer wait would be 2 months Various other shops cost $180 with a wait of 2 weeks Tunedub cost $90 (because I had my own filter) with no wait. The other specialty shops wouldn't let me use the filter I'd already purchased (from the dealer). George not only let me use it, but knocked down his price accordingly. I came for the cheaper cost, and was baffled at the amazing service. Included the servicing inspections with the oil changes. Quality business.

I have a number of issues left over from another mechanic doing a poor job. George and his Techs corrected all the problems the 1st time, nice change. The service was friendly and efficient with excellent quality workmanship. I would highly recommend TuneDub and will bring my ride here in the future. TuneDub has made a loyal customer out of me.
Karen S. said...

I have had all my service and repairs done by George and his staff. I highly recommend them. They are honest and only repair what is needed and respect their customers. When you find a great mechanic...you hang onto them! I always recommend George and his staff to my friends who drive VW.

2001 VW Jetta TDI
I was in a rush to get the timing belt on my 01' TDI changed before leaving town for an extended period of time. Georges schedule was pretty full with previous bookings but he was kind enough to squeeze me in one day. Dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready for pickup by 1pm. Super quick, friendly, and knowledgable. Will definately recommend Tunedub to other VW owners for their maintainence/repairs.
Conroy said...
03 GTI 1.8T
My driver side window detached and my water pump went on the same day. Dropped it off at 8AM and picked it up at 4PM. Could not be happier, especially after dealing with Southcentre for three years. I will never take my VW anywhere else, and neither will any of my friends that drive 'dubs. Cute girl at the desk to boot.
Kevin said...
2001 Jetta TDI
George is a great guy, fair, honest and tons of communication. Everything he has done for the car has been well done and explained, but it is more about real service, with a real smile, and not giving you some runaround. His business flourishes because anyone who goes there cannot be anything but happy. He has done service work and a chiptune for me all first class.

George is one of those fabled mechanics you read stories about and wish you could have for yourself. I have had him do everything from oil changes to a timing belt replacement and have nothing but great things to say. He stands by his work and makes sure I leave happy - which I always do.

Switched from Glenmore Audi (who are snobs to the max) to TuneDub, very good decision on my part. George is so sweet and so nice and very good at what he does. And most important, he doesnt rip off little girls who dont know anything about cars! ;)

It's rare to find someone who does what they say they will do and then does it so well. It's not easy to keep VW enthusiasts happy but George does that with expertise and integrity.

Ceramic Brakes and Tune-up...What I love about George is his "6th-sense" ability to diagnose my ride without even popping the hood...Sometimes he just hears me coming and knows exactly what I need! Sound advice, fair pricing and wicked service...TuneDub is home now...

Got my suspension done and George also tuned up some problems I was having and my car ran like a top! I won't use anyone but TuneDub for my maintenance from now on! George is a real stand up guy and I can't say anything but good about the service I received.
