Craig and his son Ben are good honest guys.
Been servicing my 2001 S4 Avant, 1999 ML 430, and now the new minivan. (Yikes!)

I would recommend Frank Dota
Frank Dota posts on craigslist. He is a scumbag. Do not trust him. Had him replace cam tensioners in my A6. He set the timing wrong on the cam chains - both banks. He was using specs from a software program alldatapro.com. He claimed it was the exact same as Audi. Wrong! After setting the timing wrong, he would not come back and fix it. Chased him for 3 weeks. Have had to filoe a report with my local police department. Taking him to small claims court. Since, I have gotten correct specs from a local Audi dealership on correct timing for cam chain. Went in and fixed myself. Frank was off 2 chain rollers on each bank. This guy is an idiot.
Frank is great Audi mechanic. He has worked on my car multiple times. Recently he did my timing belt, valve gaskets and oil change. I bought my own part and he installed them. He even washed my car and cleaned my engine when he was done. He does very good work. Honest, affordable and convenient. I saved so much cash and my car is running better than ever. I would certainly recommend him.

Beware of Frank Dota
I used Frank Dota and had real bad experience. Stay away fron this guy. He took $2300 and many issues came up that he claims. Never retunrs calls, etc.
had an issue with this guy, first he did some bs with my abs (while charging me $250, abs still won't work+ no abs light or brake is working either nor beeps are ever beeping) + i was changing a door from mine to salvaged, cause i had a break in, he forgot to change locks, still can't get a hold of him.
so wouldn't recommend him.
There is a mechanic name Jesse he lives in Boston area. he does stuff quickly an no hassles, changed steering, tb+ waterpump.. my close friend with allroad advised me to him and he is great.
so wouldn't recommend him.

Had to bring my A6 to a dealer and they said the work was never done that he claimed.
When I confronted him that had serious concerns with his work as the car was not running correctly he said his other brother was a state trooper. I laughed and tried getting him served with papers for a small claims action. He disappeared to California. Is he back? Would like to go after him and stop him from hurting other people.

[QUOTE=GermanAudiBOS;24588568]I used Frank in 2012. he said his brother was the GM for Audi Manchester and that he is a Audi certified mechanic. He took me for $2100 for fixing my timing belt, gasket, etc.
