The BP at University and Amherst (in Wheaton) is great. Very honest people, very reasonably priced.

I used to own a VW, glad to hear things haven't changed. If N Bethesda works for you, we have had a great experience with Golden Gears on Nebel

We have a new-ish VW but every time we take it to dealership for scheduled maintenance (it's no longer under warranty) they come up with thousands of dollars in "needed" repairs. It's hard to tell what's legit and what isn't and we generally end up feeling like suckers.

Does anyone have/know of a car service/mechanics shop where they don't feel ripped off? Bethesda/Silver Spring/Wheaton areas would be ideal. Thank you for any advice!
