I took my VW Passat station wagon to J&M Motors because a friend has used J&M for years. The engine check light was on, a serious issue. About three days later, my car was fixed for $1800 out of pocket. They also recommended an additional $600 repair. When my car was there, I wondered if I could have had the same work completed at a lower cost. For $1800, I wish they could have given the car a quick vacuum and returned the computer system to the settings that were in place when I took the care in. Greg does a good job explaining the work needed, but if it all car jargon, what difference does it make?
