Who are we? Good question, we're not the dealer, we're not the fast lube place and we're not the big shop down the road who fixes all makes and models, that's for sure! It can sum it up in one phrase, we are a "Small shop with Big Performance". We have over 50 years of combined VW, Audi and Porsche experience.
Our invoices reflect the total cost in parts and labor increments. Labor time is determined by using the Mitchell Labor Guide, which is an industry standard. You can be certain that the parts used were purchased according to your individual needs. In today's highly sophisticated automobiles, a tune-up is a maintenance type service and normally does not correct running problem.

I called him with a question on how to replace a upper radiator hose on a jetta. He told me step by step how to do it. He didn't have to do that because he was potentially losing a job but he told me it was easy and i could do it myself. I have alot of respect for a mechanic who looks out for people and they're well being. If my car ever breaks and i can't fix it i know exactly which mechanic im taking it too

Positive: Punctuality
My Check Engine Light illuminated just as I am preparing to drive back home (Wisconsin.) Without an appointment Marc performed a diagnostic test, ordered the necessary parts and performed the required work the same day, allowing me to continue on schedule. This is what I call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thanks Marc and team!!

I have never had a better experience with a shop here in Fort Myers, and I've been to a lot of them. VAP is an extremely professional and timely group of guys, and I wouldn't trust my car with any other shop!

I have seen my fair share of automobile repair places as an experienced car owner as a 70 years old. VAP Motorworks hands down tops all of them with the owner and chief service provider Marc. Not only is he knowledgeable when it comes to servicing your foreign cars, his service attitude, transparency, honesty and last but not least reasonable pricing make it a pleasure to know him and have him work on my car. He is the real deal and I am so glad I found him and would recommend him highly for all you automobile need.

I started having major issues with my 2013 Volkswagen Passat, which kept failing to accelerate and was just a big pain to drive. I had gone to someone down the road on Fowler who wanted to charge me a grand to fix my car...and didn't even point out the exact issue of my car. I decided to go to VAP, and Marc was super helpful from the get-go and very knowledgeable. He hooked me up with a decent price on my piece and fixed her up. She drives as good as new. I'm very grateful for his help!

I’m so grateful I found this shop. Marc is a trustworthy, tell you how it is, expert. No BS or fluff here so you can make smart financial and safety decisions regarding your car. I’ve done all my oil changes, service work and gotten new tires from VAP for my Audi over the last 2+ years. Keep up the great work! Highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to get taken advantage of by Audi dealerships.

This was my third time using VAP Motorsports and they are awesome! My 2010 Audi A4 has been well taken care of. The mechanics have awesome troubleshooting skills and vast knowledge. Prices are very reasonable and they work fast. I have spent more on a "regular maintenance" at the dealership than what new fuel injectors, water pump, and carbon cleaning all together cost me here. I will keep coming back. Great work guys!!

Nothing but good things to say about Marc and his team. He took my mk4 gli from 180hp stock to over 300hp. VAP's tuning, and fabrication skills are far above par. Whenever I am looking for a new car I always call Marc and ask him the pros and cons. When my mechanic tells me to stay away from a certain make or model knowing he will work on it either way makes me trust him even more. I am currently doing another build on a mk6 and can't wait to see how much power and reliability VAP is gonna make do for me. If you own a German vehical or really any make as I've seen Ford's to

Recently my mechanic ( Lou's Auto Repair ) told me that they recommend I take my 2010 Mini Cooper S to Mark at VAP since they weren't sure on how to fix my car. After initially talking with Mark on the phone, I knew, he knew, what he was talking about. Without hesitation I brought my car over there. I am a single mother on a budget and while my car isn't cheap to fix, it needed to get done.
Mark did an excellent job and was honest and kept me up to date while he had my car to make sure everything that needed to get done got done so I can continue to work; while we did hold somethings

Ok where to begin. I heard about VAP through a friend of mine after experiencing a $&#% Ton of headaches with a car I recently purchased through an unnamed dealer who screws people over *cough*worldautosinc*cough* but Marc decided to take on the job and he told me he'd help as best he could and even gave me advice on the potential options I had. I let him take care of it for me and unfortunately they had some problems with one of the staff members and screwed up their productivity but are back on track again! Once he told me all was good I literally had my car back 3 days later... damn

There are a lot of positive reviews on google, which I believe are fake. Here is my experience.
I took my 2008 VW JETTA 2.0T FSI that had no compression in all 4 cylinders. I did the compression test myself. The timing chain tensioner failed and caused the timing belt to go loose and damage the valves.
Marc did a leak down test, and told me that only a few valves were bad and he affirmative that it would cost me about $450 for the labor, so I told him to go ahead with the work. When I asked him, if a couple valves are bent, why there isn't any compression in other valves? He said because
