My name is Volodymyr. I am a car technician, and have been a mechanic, a grease monkey, and a car enthusiast for many years. I started this site mainly to connect with my customers in a way that I can’t in the shop. However, it’s my hope it can also serves as a community forum to share information, impart a little wisdom, and have a little fun. Let’s get started.

I`m…

I have been working as a Volkswagen technician, mechanic, grease monkey, well you get the idea.  I started this site mainly to connect with my customers on a level  that I just can’t in the shop.

You will find out what it takes to be a mechanic in a VERY high tech industry.

This site will give everyone a place to connect with me, and connect with each other.

There has been so crazy things that have happened over the years, and I am sure you will get a kick out of it.

This site was built to help everyone. It does not matter what type of car you own. Many of the things I talk about do not apply to just Volkswagens.

Also, please understand that everything I talk about here comes from me. It does not represent my employer, or Volkswagen of America. Anything that I say or do is my own.

Some other things you need to know

  • I am not a writer. I spell stuff wrong, I write the same way I talk. I use wrong punctuation and tenses. I don’t care, Do not grammar Nazi me. Pay attention to the message
  • I use the term “GUYS” a lot. It does not mean men, it means the same thing as “folks”, “Y’all” that kind of thing. Please don’t worry about it.
  • I also use the word technician. To me, it means the same thing as mechanic. The title of a job is MEANINGLESS! Its the actions you take, and the integrity you work with that makes you great, or makes you SUCK!
