I purchased a 2001 VW Passat from a friend last month, and Fares at European Auto Hause (EAH) made the entire process feel secure and smooth. I have only had Hondas for the past 20 years, but when my Civic was stolen I suddenly needed another car rather quickly. I felt reticent about moving from a Honda to a potentially more finicky brand of car (needing a lot of expensive care)--especially with my limited budget. So I asked around for recommendations of VW mechanics, and Fares' name kept coming up. "Don't go anywhere else", said my VW-driving neighbor when I asked him. So here's what I did. I called Fares and explained my situation, and had EAH do a thorough pre-sale inspection of the car for $150.00 or so. I ended up purchasing the car, and I am so glad I did, but as a single father on limited income I was not without trepidation at each step. I encourage anyone looking for a VW specialist (or Audi, etc.) to proceed with caution at each step. You'll notice like I did that the mechanics' shop is IMMACULATELY CLEAN. And Fares did much more than sell me a one-off inspection, pre-sale. He patiently spent time on two substantial phone calls, explaining how much he would pay for the car if he were the buyer, and exactly how much the first year would likely cost. So I went into the deal knowing and able to factor the cost of immediately-needed repairs into my purchasing price. I felt entirely secure. But if I can explain my 5-star review in one, concise symbol it would be my experience picking the car up. Fares spent a lot of time answering lots of questions, and when I asked him how the techtronic-transmission was supposed to work he said "jump in!", and took me for a substantial test-drive, teaching me not only how to use the optional transmission feature but also explaining a lot I didn't even think to ask about how to take optimal care of the Passat i was increasingly proud to be driving. Honesty, integrity, every word as clean and respectful as his truly beautiful work place, I cannot imagine making this transition so easily without Fares and his colleagues at EAH. HIGHLY recommended.
