What Our Clients Are Saying

I've been taking my car to VFC for nearly 4 years. Zach and his team have always been extremely communicative, make complicated car issues easy to understand, and decisions easy to weigh...I trust VFC WAY more than I ever did the local Audi dealership in Chicago. I genuinely believe they have my best interests in mind.”

Great shop for German auto repair. Prices were fair and the work was completed on time. Zach took the time to fully explain how and why The repairs were necessary. I Highly recommend this facility for repair and maintenance. I will be returning for future service."

Finally had some time to rate and review. Was having issues with my 3 series and was anticipating bad news. Zach and Carlos diagnosed and repaired my issue. Now the car drives like new. Amazing! Plus the 3yr/36k warranty on the work- you just can’t beat that. Honestly, that’s just confidence behind their work. I’m bringing in my fleet. Thank you guys!

Bought a used 2014 x3 as an extra with 2 new/young drivers. VFC was great on the prepurchase inspection AND normal maintenance and minor repairs since then. I trust that they manage what needs to be done - not just looking at a list and doing/charging me. Trust matters and the value is good!
