Dubwerx is 5-STAR in every way. Hats off to the best VW and Audi technicians in Cincinnati (or maybe anywhere!) This is a shop where all the clients are smiling as well as the staff - How often do you see that? Dubwerx is the go-to shop for Audi and VW vehicles. I brought in my previously purchased used A4 for an "after purchase" inspection, and was floored with the professionalism and knowledge that the Dubwerx Team provides esp.

Adrian. They are very easy to work with and are passionate about their service. I look forward to working with Dubwerx for many years to come and take this new purchase to over 200,000miles! Dubwerx is the premier independent service and repair shop for Volkswagen vehicles and Audi automobiles in Cincinnati, Ohio located at 6323 Madison Road on the East Side of the city.

Dubwerx was founded in 1998 by owner Ryan Clo as a small appointment-only-based business. Ryan noticed an unfulfilled need in Cincinnati for a high level of independent auto repair service on VW vehicles and Audi automobiles. Since then, Dubwerx has grown into a full-service automotive shop with a staff of eleven, and we have added Porsche auto repair to our service offerings.
When your Audi, Porsche, or Volkswagen vehicle breaks down or requires maintenance, you should seek out people who are trained to work on those specific types of automobiles. An independent specialist knows what parts to use and offers a higher level of service that is designed to extend the life of your vehicle and improve its performance, all while saving you money over time.
Dubwerx is an independent full-service automotive repair center that only services Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche automobiles.

This was my first visit to Dubwerx for my S5. The team was great to work with and provided great feedback to the condition of my car. I have always been a dealer service guy in the past but had been concerned lately with what was being “recommended”. Saw the reviews on Dubwerx and figured I needed to try something different. I was definitely impressed from beginning to end and will be a customer moving forward. Thanks again to all the Dubwerx team !!

As long as I live in Cincinnati, I will not take our 2 VWs anywhere else. Every time I interact with the Dubwerx staff they prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff inside and out, and are VW enthusiasts and really care about their work.
Recently I had an issue where my car wouldn't start. They went the extra mile to squeeze me in on short notice and got me back up and running within a day. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Dubwerx has always been a delight to deal with. The advisors review everything in detail to make sure each customer knows what service is required and sets expects for the end result. I personally won’t be taking my VWs anywhere else for service and repair.

I've taken my GTI to Dubwerx a couple times and have enjoyed the experience. They are very professional and maintain great communication. The place has a great vibe, it's nice to have a non-dealer option that feels comfortable. I'll be returning for future services!

The Dubwerx crew installed an aftermarket RS style grille on my Audi S4 and did a fantastic job. Looks great, no issues with the installation, really makes the S4 look much better... I also really love the loaner cars Dubwerx uses - solid older (presumably very well maintained by the Dubwerx experts) VWs that are really nice and fun to drive! Keep doing what you are doing guys (and gals)!!

Dubwerx is the best shop I've ever worked with, bar none. Helpful, honest, and understanding. I've had a "troublesome" Golf and they've always helped me get it back on the road quickly. They've also always helped me out with a nice loaner which other shops can't do. Highly recommend!!

It's been a long time since I got to work with this team, but let me say, in the time I've been away they've only gotten better! Turnaround time was right in schedule and they are so communicative! I recommend them to all my VW friends!

Needed the brakes on my Audi repaired. Dubwerx got me in promptly, made the repairs at the price I expected and the people there were very professional. I expect to use them again soon for my regularly scheduled maintenance.

Business is very clean, well organized and a very comfortable waiting area. Everyone was very professional and polite, very pleased that Corey, the owner, took time to follow up after their service to assure I was pleased with everything.
I had two specific requests I made as my vehicle was going in for service and I noted that both were written on the shop work order, instead of just verbally telling the technician. That assured my requests were noted.
A detailed report on the condition of my vehicle was provided after the service.
I will be using this business again in the future.

Decided to give Dubwerx a try with my 2018 Audi S6, as I have heard very positive reviews from the Audi Forums, and had a first (and last) negative experience with the not-to-be-named local Audi dealer. Had a great first service visit at Dubwerx, and appreciate the courtesy from the greeter, technician and every employee to make my visit positive. Will definitely return in the future for maintenance, and have also started my Christmas list for APR “go fast” goodies!

2012 VW Touareg Sport V6 - 190,000+ miles I travel back and forth from Southern California every other month. I need my car to be reliable. I have a full shop at my home in So. Cal and do my own work there. While in Cincy, away from my tools, I TRUST no-one else except for Cory and the team at Dubwerx. They are professional, diligent, think about how I use my car and care about great customer satisfaction.

Great car repair. They changed a timing belt on my Passat tdi: the loaner was a nice VW car also. Very responsive: prices were competitive. Process of drop off and pick up was easy. They also send a really comprehensive review of the work and recommendations with pictures , that was neat.

I have been taking my cc to Dubwerx since the engine blew due to the timing chain tensioner defect. Since day one they have been nothing short of outstanding. They even helped me through the registration for the class action lawsuit to recover some of the cost of the engine. Also note that their quote for replacing the engine was thousands of dollars less than the crooks at VW Beachmont were trying to charge.

Special shout out to Evan, Adrian, Mark and Cory. They are patient, knowledgeable and put the customer first.

I will never go anywhere else. These guys ooze trust and credibility. You

The Dubwerx team is awesome. Took my boring Passat to a whole new level with some minor tunes. Great communication, fair pricing and presented a variety of options, recommending only what I needed. Can't wait to do some more upgrades.

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Reasonable rates (translation: lower than dealers). Pretty much everything you could ask for in an auto repair shop, and then some. We have 2 VWs and I go to Dubwerx for all scheduled maintenance and for repairs also. Great group of folks who go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of and treated well.

Guess I'd never go back to dealer again.

Dubwerx did great job on repairing my turbo actuator rod rattling. Saved great amount of $$ for me while dealer quote me $1600 to replace the whole turbocharger assembly(HOWEVER, the turbocharger itself is still in great condition). Dubwerx did it only for $87(parts).

Also, I did APR muffler delete as well.

Had to mention, Adrian and Evan are super friendly and knowledgeable. Good to meet them.

All in all, I plan to do some tuning and mod in the future here.

Great place. Great people. Definitely gonna recommend this

For the first time ever, I have had an exemplary enough experience with an auto shop to actually take the time to review them online. That alone should say a lot.

Dubwerx has a phenomenal staff who are passionate about the cars they repair, working exclusively on Audi and VW vehicles. After having subpar experiences with the local dealership, and on the advice of a friend, I brought my car here to repair my passenger door. The techs were able to replace the faulty after-market parts I had used in the vehicle and did everything with a smile and a fair price.

Excellent shop! Came here for a DSG service on my 2013 VW cc. Drop-off was convenient and they were significantly cheaper ($100 less) than the dealer. Staff was professional and got the car back on time (and cleaned to a shine!) I was a little hesitant to transition from going to the dealer under warranty to an independent shop, but I am definitely coming back for the next major service.

These guys are the best. Normally I do the majority of repairs and maintenance on my VW TDI Passat with 330,000 miles on it. After I had a no start situation and checking everything out possible without having the diagnostic computer for TDI's I had towed to Dubwerx.

I was impressed with their thorough diagnosis and willingness to fully determine cause of the problem without simply throwing parts in it until problem solved and trying to find the most economical solution.They did keep me informed during the whole process and I am confident they did a professional job repairing my Passat.

I live about an hour north in the Dayton suburbs with a couple of service shop options, but none that came too highly recommended. Then I found Dubwerx.

Even after working a long 12 hour night rotation, I showed up early to an appointment and was out the door in 3.5 hours for numerous maintenance.

I planned poorly, and was in the lobby for at least 2 hours and never felt like the annoying, hovering customer. I was offered a couple options for killing time and the staff were accommodating in all respects.

The cost of service was cheaper than the quote from one Audi dealer who took forever

I was driving to the airport to pick up family when I missed the exit so I got off at the nearest one to double back. I pulled in to the nearest place to turn around when my car stalled and broke down. I have a 2004 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro. I could not get the car to crank or fire.There was no response when I turned the key. I already had an appointment with a different company to get a price quote on an exhaust leak from my flex pipe so conveniently the car was towed there. The next day I was told that my timing belt had failed and the first thing that came to mind was "no way, that's not

I'm permanently posted over seas. NorthEastern Europe to be exact. I've had my MKV GTI with me overseas for almost 4 years, and circumstances required I retire it to the USA.

I needed work done. I don't mean like routine maintenance, I mean stuff that had built up over time that others were too inept to fix. It's a Stage 3 APR'd bottle rocket. I love this car. I needed someone that not only loves to work on cars, but can do it honestly, intuitively and with the same passion I have for driving it.

I emailed "Evan" from 7000 miles away and explained my situation

Dealership misdiagnoses and quotes at a much higher cost in apple to apples fixes. Dubwerx team is as accurate and trusting as they come in the business of auto repair.

Detailed analysis and explanation and a firm committed to doing the right thing every time sets this team apart in the highest of echelons.

I recently brought my aging Passat to Dubwerx to figure out a complicated & debilitating electrical problem. They were able to figure it out and fix it for a very reasonable cost. They did a great job explaining the issue with me and their recommended repair. Dubwerx will now be my new go-to place for repairs and service.

I will preface this review with the fact that I am not a mechanic, but I do like to perform basic maintenance on my car like oil changes, filter changes, and other small jobs. Whenever I need extensive work done I like taking my car to Dubwerx because I feel that they have competent mechanics and a friendly staff. They are more than happy to talk technical with me which I appreciate. I have worked with Evan for the most part and he has always been straightforward with his recommendations to a point that I don't feel he was overselling me on anything I didn't need. I trust their mechanics

Excellent group of professionals who know their business. Nice to be able to have a conversation, receive feedback and workable solutions. I really like the way they take the time to explain the issue and have reasonable alternatives. They alerted us to a critical issue that could have been very costly, checked it out and provided the fix. We went to them for a timing belt change and we pleased with the thoroughness of the repair. They gave us a solution for another issue but we'll do that at another time.
I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top line technicians and an easy

Awhile back I posted that our Jetta had finally crossed the 100,000 mile mark. It was at that time that I was alerted to a piece of maintenance that we had neglected to have done, replacing the timing belt. I believe it is recommended to be replaced at 60-100k, so we were well overdue.

After talking it over with my dad, it was decided that replacing the belt was more work than we wanted to take on ourselves (with him doing the work and me mostly supervising). So I made a few calls to area service shops and even a dealership to get quotes. A couple of places, the dealership included, gave me a
