NW Georgia / Chattanooga - VW Repair Shop?

« on: July 13, 2010, 12:56:31 PM »
I know I've seen a list of local repair shops on this site in the past, but can't find it right now.

I have a 1999 Jetta (Mark III) which is having A/C problems this summer and is in desperate need of a front end alignment.  I do a lot of work myself; however, do not have the expertise or equipment for this work.

I live in Calhoun, GA but drive to Chattanooga Mon-Fri (downtown).  Is there a shop someone could recommend for this work? 

I've tried a local tire shop for the alignment and was told that both tires have significant negative camber... I probably have something out of place after replacing the transmission, struts, and strut mounts last year.  Anyhow, the technician didn't know how to make the necessary adjustments to get everything into appropriate alignment and I don't want to buy yet another set of tires this fall!

Thanks,
John.

Here's the list: http://www.volksfolks.org/vwshops

Try Sal and Perry (423) 421-1496 for A/C repair, they are in Chickamauga. They could possibly sort out your front end problems but you'd still need to find an alignment shop since they don't have a machine. I've used Doyle's Alignment before in Ft. Oglethorpe. (706) 866-0481
