:?::clap:hI TO ALL;
JUST GOT A NEW TOUAREG WHITE V-8 2006 55K, WITH PULSATING BRAKES STOPPED MY BY LOCAL VW ORDERED A KEY THEN I ASKED ABOUT THE BRAKE JOB THEY SAID $1500.00 + TAX, I TOLD THEM I WOULD LET THEM KNOW ! After reading & just joining this Club I found out how to order the parts I need via Club Touareg. Anyhow after the key came in it was $200 + just for the key and then another $65 to program all the keys. With a bad taste for Northshore VW I ask if anyone out there knows of a good mechanic who will not mine me buying the parts on line, Chicago covers lots of area so if anyone can recommend a garage that knows Touaregs let me know. I love driving this Touareg , let me know if you can recommend a spot?
thanks jerry

Brakes are a piece of cake and I still have the necessary tools to remove those stubborn caliper bolts! I did most of the required maintenance on my Touareg when I had it, oil changes, coils, spark plugs etc. I bought my brake kit from Geoff @ alretta and did everything in about 2 hrs. Also, PLEASE look into getting an extended warranty if you did not purchase one, if a simple brake job costs $1500 can you imagine if it's something worse?....

Front and rear diff., transfer case fluid change just $30 labor plus fluids and tax etc... The belt inspection I will do for free but honestly if it has not been done by 80k you just need to get it taken care of. If you want quote for full timing service feel free to PM me or email/ call/ text me.

Thanks

I just got my brakes done both front and rear @ PerformanceWerks in Naperville. The labor was only $225.00. I supplied the hardware. Ask for Blake or Abba very nice and knowledgable people. They both previously worked as techs for Bentley. They specialize in European cars.

I did told them that I got their number from the forum and I did mention that you have posted a different price to which the guy said the price is 400 and I said thank you and he said bye.
Ok. I just tried calling him, but I got his voicemail.I will give him a call in the A.M. To ask ask about the price increase.
