What we do
Maintenance, repair, and now keys.
Locksmith, keys & programming
We now cut new keys and blades in-house. Using factory ODIS we also add keys to your car, reset component protection, and install and program new modules (and some used ones), including on models the factory has stopped supporting. Bring state photo ID and proof of ownership.
Call for your model and yearMaintenance
Timing belts, intake cleaning on FSI/TSI engines, tune-ups, brakes, axle boots and bearings, mounts and bushings, tires and alignment. The work that keeps a breakdown from ever happening.
Maintenance schedule →Repair & diagnosis
Blend doors, coil packs, broken wiring, stripped drain plug threads, fuseboxes, window regulators, door latches. We stock most of it, so the car doesn’t sit here waiting on a part.
Repair write-ups →Cars & parts for sale
Vehicles and parts we’ve taken in, listed with real photos. If you’re looking for a specific VW or a hard-to-find part, tell us and we’ll keep an eye out.
Call to ask what we haveWhy a specialist
Everyone has a car payment.
Even when your car is paid off, stuff wears out. Expenses happen either way. The average new-car payment in America is now about $770 a month. If you split a year’s maintenance costs into monthly payments, we can keep your VW or Audi driving like new for roughly two to five car payments a year: two to three for a baseline VW, closer to five or six for a high-end turbo Audi with every option. Five payments each year is definitely better than twelve!
Open a separate bank account, deposit like it’s a used-car payment, and be ready when the car needs something. Tires, tune-ups, repairs, even deductibles come out of that. Nothing about your car has to be a monetary burden.
Timing belt, 1.8T: maintained vs. neglected
We typically see a well-maintained VW run 400,000 miles or more before it needs an engine overhaul. Rick Sherrod · Owner
Who you hand the keys to
A small shop, with some very big capabilities.
As a client, you step into our sphere. And our sphere is a special place where problems are solved as a matter of workflow. We’re talking problems that can strip all the joy and hope out of owning a car. Problems that could make average mechanics cry. Problem solving is just what we do.
From the shop
Write-ups from actual jobs.
Twenty years of notes on things we see over and over, photographed on our own bench. Free to read, whether you bring the car here or fix it yourself.
Maintenance
Timing belts
What the interval really is, and what happens on an interference engine when you miss it.
Maintenance
Intake cleaning on FSI & TSI
Why direct-injection engines carbon up on the valves, and what cleaning them involves.
Maintenance
Headlight lens restoration
Bringing hazed lenses back instead of paying for new housings.
Maintenance
Hinge and latch lube
A five-minute job that keeps door latches, a known VW weak point, working.
Repair
Blend door failure
Heat on one side, cold on the other: getting to the actuator behind the dash.
Repair
Cracked coil packs
The misfire that isn’t a plug, and how to spot a coil that’s about to go.
Repair
Stripped oil drain threads
What a quick-lube overtightening does to an aluminum pan, and how we fix it.
Repair
Finding a broken wire
Chasing an intermittent electrical fault down to the one conductor that’s open.
Visit
Open four days. Call before you come.
Open
Closed
7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Thursday
Four long days instead of five short ones. It keeps cars moving through the bays instead of sitting overnight, and drop-off starts at 7.
Call twice. It’s not you.
Robocallers hit this line hard enough that we had to silence the first ring. It costs you about ten seconds and it means a real person picks up:
- Dial (478) 745-6989.
- Hang up as soon as it starts ringing.
- Dial again. The second call rings through to the shop.

An old addressing overlap at the Jones County line means GA Hwy 49 and Shurling Drive run the same street numbers, so typing our address into a map app can route you to a different business across town. The buttons above go to our actual pin. If you enter it by hand, search “Wolfsburg Tech” rather than the street address.
