Reviews
"Great team of experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, all-around wonderful folks here who have helped me with my vintage VW. I really recommend them, especially if you are like me and you don’t know much about cars. I was seriously about to donate my car to the junkyard, I was so frustrated with the persistent coolant leaking that no one could stop. Wyatt in particular was really helpful in letting me know he thought they could really help. Wyatt, Jeff, and Tommy never made me feel stupid (some mechanics get annoyed by my ignorance and I feel so small), and I felt like I could trust them to guide me ethically about what to do. These guys are my favorites, and they’re the best so I only go to them now. They have fixed persistent coolant problems with my car other mechanics just could or would not. They were shockingly fast to get my car done, both times, and they were really helpful in explaining why and how they did things before they did them. They just have a really great way there and I love it! Go see these guys."
"There aren't enough good things to say about Jeff and his crew. After months of searching, I finally found an MK6 GTI with exactly the features I wanted. The only problem? I live in Tennessee. After completing the sale, my sister was able to pick it up and said it ran and drove great, until it didn't. The clutch slave cylinder/release bearing decided to give up the ghost. While they were in there, they noticed a few other things and asked if I wanted to address them. Before any additional repairs, Jeff made sure to call me and explain what was needed. He also sent pictures and videos so I could "see" what was wrong. This was incredibly reassuring. 10/10 recommend Trafton's. My only complaint is that they are located over 2000 miles away and *probably* can't be my regular shop. Thanks guys!"
"Took my 2006 Forester in for an oil leak. Unfortunately the headgasket was leaking. The team at Trafton’s did an amazing job fixing it, and did it in a reasonable amount of time. Happy to have my car back on the road!"
"I was so impressed by the service at Trafton's. I sent in an inquiry about replacing our windshield motor and they called right away to set something up and told me that instead of hopping in and replacing the motor, they'd do an inspection to make sure it wasn't a simpler problem that would be cheaper and easier. They got me in right away and kept me up to date on what they were running into. Not only did they fix our windshield issue, they also found that the last time we had an oil change they had stripped the plug and it caused a crack in the pan so they fixed that for us as well. We feel a lot safer in our car and now have a trusty mechanic that we can use in the future, too!"
"I recently had my VW serviced at Trafton’s and was very pleased with my experience. They were able to schedule me immediately for an appointment, whereas the dealership was booked for two weeks. Jeff helped me throughout my whole experience and he was always friendly and very helpful. I found the crew to be communicative, genuine, and capable of doing good work. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Trafton’s next time my car needs service, and I will also be recommending my fellow VW and Subaru driving friends!"
