We got a quote from Audi Dallas with a "discount" for $1,600. It also took them 4 days and $150 to diagnose the problem. Wanting a second quote we looked on Yelp and Angie's List and tried out LOTR. Our first visit, Bob diagnosed the problem by running a full report (for free), spoke with us personally and went through our options all in about 30 minutes. He told us the problem was not compromising safety, so he reset the check engine and said if it comes back on, come back. Two weeks later the engine light came back on, and he did the repair in 3 days for $600 less than the dealer. We will definitely be returning for our Audi/VW repairs.
Description of Work: Needed a thermostat replacement for the water pump on my Audi A4.

Awesome job on my car every time so it’s like half the price of the dealership and all the professionalism and I’ve never had any repairs that he has done on my car, I’ve never had anything go wrong with it, and so I really like Lord of the Rings.
Description of Work: I used the services of Lord of the Rings. I don't think he does glass work but he did anything that is mechanical in your car, so, engines, transmissions, control arms, things in that nature, he works on.

He performed the work as he promised and delivered the car on time. We appreciate how Bob is on top of the work required to keep this aging car in good shape. He lets us know what needs to be done next and how mush it will cost.
Description of Work: He replaced the engine mounts, did brake work and performed an oil change. He also discussed with our daughter (the primary driver) how to keep the car in great running order and the importance of keep the car tanked up with gas.

Terrible. I didn't even get a quote back! Instead I got a bill for the time he spent looking at the car. All he said was that nothing needed to be changed out. Be careful with this mechanic! You may be charged just to get a quote. I had NEVER EVER experienced that. Waste of money, and consequently, he lost business. I will never come back.
Description of Work: I wanted to get an estimate for work to be performed on my Jetta. One fan doesn't turn on, tie rods need to be replaced, and several other little maintenance items.

Response from Lord of the Rings
16 months ago, we were asked to inspect this vehicle. This included running complete fault codes. We found problems with the right axle boot, upper strut mounts, oil leak at the filter housing, fault in the cooling system, primary radiator fan was bad, possible problem with the catalytic convertor, and found a timing belt job was almost due. This process took just over 45 minutes and the customer declined any repair. He was charged $66.00. At the time of the inspection, or anytime since the customer did not indicate a problem with this charge. Bob Mullen Lord of the Rings Audi Volkswagen Specialist

Work was performed quickly and professionally. Did not have to go back for adjustments or any thing like that. Dropped the car off in the morning. Shop provided a ride home due to proximity of my house. Called when the repair was done later that morning and picked up my car.
Description of Work: Bought a used 2001 VW Jettta with 89,000 earlier this year. Had Bob give it an inspection and he told me exactly what was needed and what work could be deferred. A couple of months later the A/C clutch went out and had to be replaced. Bob's crew was right on it, replaced the offending compressor in just a couple of hours and air was blowing cold. Price was very reasonable, in my case about $300 cheaper that a VW dealership would have charged. I will bring my VW back for routine and break down service.

It was excellent. Their knowledge of Volkswagen and Audi cars is impressive, they are quick and reliable, and they provide good customer service. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I took my car to Lord of the Rings for some small repairs. My trunk lid wasn’t operating properly so they fixed that and other minor things.

Overall it went OK. This repair shop only works on audis and VWs. I went to him based on a recommendation from someone. It is a family-run business with 2-3 mechanics. The guy is easy to talk and explains everything in detail. The problem is that he twists the facts so that you end up using his services even when it is not absolutely essesntial - does not tell you the whole truth or only tells you part truth (e.g.2 examples - he told me that I needed new brake pads. He even showed me the wheel where the pad was really worn out. What he didn't show me was that it was only 1 wheel where there was a problem; at another time I had a dead battery and I asked him if I could change it myself. He gave me a big story on how complicated it is to change a battery and that all computer settings would be lost. The reality is that it is very easy for anyone to change a battery and nothing except the radio pre-set station memory is lost.) After this incident I have decided never to go back to him. And he costs about the same as any other repair shop so there is no incentive to go to him.
Description of Work: Used his services to get the struts replaced on my 2002 Audi.

It's ten times better than other dealerships, across the board. It's cheaper, too.
Description of Work: I have taken my car there twice. I last took my car there for a repair. They specialize in Audis and VWs.
