We've never had to return a car for misdiagnosis or repeat issues.
Description of Work: We've had multiple services done with Dandini. They are genuine, honest technicians and really know what they're doing. I have been in the car industry for many years and feel confident taking my car and my husband's car to their shop. They are by far the best place to take a VW/Audi without paying MAG prices.

Description of Work: No frills operation, just a highly competent, friendly mechanic who knows his way around any VW or Audi and takes the time to explain what he's doing. Highly recommended.

Another auto repair garage said it needed a head gasket replaced and the quote was $1300. Dandini said he could do it for about $650. I was ecstatic at that price. Once he looked it over he said he saw no sign of a head gasket leak and thought it may just need a new radiator cap. He made the fixes which actually were less than $100 and it hasnt leaked since. Speaks volumes to his integrity and finding car repair service you can trust is immeasurable.
Description of Work: Corrected a coolant leak on a 2000 VW Beetle

Dandini's (Danny Rector) is the best VW mechanic in central ohio. He is ASE accredited and has years of experience in large dealership garages. I am so grateful that this Vietnam War veteran decided to hang a Shield and do business on his own. Danny is of retirement age and I do not know what we will do when he decides to hang it up. Never overcharged and never did anything unnecessary in the course of taking care of my wife's VW Beetle. Previously we dealt with the dealer we purchased the car from, Midwestern Auto Group, their parts prices and labor fees were exorbitant and if something needed a simple fix they always required you to replace a whole unit unnecessarily. Dandini's just fixes it if it needs fixed and he fixes it right. Since early 2010 Dandini's is where we take our VW.
Description of Work: Replaced EGR pipe between EGR cooler and EGR valve.

I brought my 2003 VW to Dandini for the second time to diagnose a check engine light. He found the fault codes and advised that if the car is not driving improperly, then it is probably not worth spending the money to fix the issues (evap leak, catalytic converter, fuel injector). When asked what I owe for the diagnosis, he responded, "I didn't DO anything, you don't OWE me anything." When's the last time you heard a mechanic say that?

It was easy to get the car in. The work was done quickly and we've never had to take it back because it wasn't fixed right the first time.
Description of Work: The last service call was just for an oil change, however, he identified a potentially expensive fix and gave advice as to how to solve the problem in a cost-effective manner which I took advantage of.

I've used him several times. He's awesome. He knows what he is doing and he is quick. He charges fairly. He gets me in and out as quick as he can.

I called and got an estimate of $250 plus tax for brakes and rotors. My appointment was at 9am, and Dan was waiting for me at the door. He brought my car in, got it up on the lift, and looked to make sure that it needed brakes and rotors, and not just an adjustment. He called me at 11am to let me know that my car was ready to be picked up, and gave me the total of $266 (which was the 250 plus tax that he quoted me). Dandini's is awesome! Dan is honest, knowledgeable, and fast. I would recommend this place to anyone with a VW, and definitely will be contacting them whenever I need work done in the future.
Description of Work: Its a one man shop, and he does work by appointment only. Replaced front brakes and rotors on VW Jetta.
