I don't recommend Max because of my experience.
He had my car for over a month to do a heater core
replacement, timing belt, and a few other minor
things.
He charged a lot. Then refused to redo the heater core
when it became apparent that it was defective from the
beginning. He supplied all the parts and charged me
way more than I could have sourced them for. Max is a
professional and runs his own business in Washington
state called Audi Volkswagen specialist(AVS). I really
wanted to support him. Problem is it's hard to find
mechanics that know about the V8.
