Specialty
VW / Audi
EA888s, DSGs and everything Wolfsburg ships to Texas.
The 1.8T and 2.0T EA888 engines are the backbone of modern VW and Audi — great engines with a short, well-documented list of habits. We fix that list weekly, with ODIS factory software on the bench and OEM parts in the cabinet.
The failures we actually see — and what we charge
Real prices move with parts and model year; these are honest starting points, not bait. Every job carries the 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.
Timing chain tensioner (EA888 Gen 1–2)
from $1,480
Symptom: Rattle on cold start; catastrophic if ignored long enough
Updated-revision tensioner, chain and guides
Water pump / coolant crossover pipe
from $740
Symptom: Coolant smell, slow loss, crusty residue at the front of the engine
OEM pump and pipe together — one labor charge instead of two
Carbon buildup on intake valves (FSI/TSI)
from $580
Symptom: Rough cold idle, misfire codes, sluggish below 3k RPM
Walnut-shell blasting with the intake off
DSG mechatronic & fluid neglect
$389
Symptom: Harsh 1–2 shift, hesitation from a stop
Fluid & filter service first — it fixes more than people think
Hearing one of those symptoms? Diagnosis is $175 for the first hour with factory scan tools — credited to the repair when you approve it.
