Corky’s Import Auto Service

Perfect service is here! I’ve had my car fixed twice here and every time they will go out of their way to correct broken details on the house. I had my starter replaced and needed a new tire. These were all taken care, plus the changed some broken lights I was unaware of and sanded down the edges of the wheel axle area because I told them I had difficulty removing the wheel. Service is fast and my car was ready in under 24 hours. I wouldn’t expect this every time, but I bet it happens quite often. These guys are experts! Get your VW or Audi’s fixed here!

My girlfriend took her 1989 Volkswagen Jetta here to have four struts replaced. New to Omaha, I wasn’t sure where to take an old Volkswagen for repair. After a quick Google search I came across Corky’s Garage. The reviews on Unilocal and Google seemed favorable, so I told her to take her car here.
When she took her car in Monday to have an initial inspection done, they told her she was low on oil and asked if she brought any with her because they didn’t have any. What kind of repair shop asks people to bring their own oil in? This should have been the first red flag, but I let it slide. They also said she had a badly worn tire. She just got four new tires less than 10,000 miles ago. Corky’s quote for parts and labor was actually a bit higher than some other quotes she had gotten, but I figured that based on the reviews, the quality of the work justified the higher quote. She went to Tires Plus the next day and had the tire replaced that they said was worn with a brand new tire.
She dropped the car off today to have the work done. When she picked her car up, she was told that her card was declined. She checked her bank account balance on her phone and it very clearly showed a charge going through from Corky’s Garage for the amount of her bill. After this charge she still had over a thousand dollars in her account. They refused to release her car, even after she showed them on her phone that the charge had clearly gone through and cleared her account. They said they need to hold the car as collateral until the charge shows as approved on their end, which can take several business days. So she’s left without a car. They also said that she «really needed» to change that worn tire because she hadn’t yet. The worn tire was replaced literally less than 24 hours before with a brand new tire. Either they didn’t even bother to look and see if she’d replaced it, or they don’t know what a new tire looks like (I’m going to assume the former). She wasn’t even allowed to drive the car to check the quality of the work before she paid and they refused to release her car. Sketchy, to say the least. No mechanic I’ve ever been to has acted as strangely as the guy at Corky’s.
I’m very disappointed. The reviews on Unilocal and Google were so positive that I thought I had found my new mechanic in Omaha. After the experience she has had, I won’t let them touch any of my cars. Even if the quality of their mechanical work is great, their customer service is garbage.

If you have a VW, Corky’s is the place to go. Mike is a great mechanic, honest, affordable and timely. Four qualities that neither of the VW dealerships in town possess. I’ve been jerked around by Stan Olson and Performance VW. I was at the point where i considered selling my car because there was no place in town that i didn’t feel completely ripped off when i took my car in for service. That is until i found Corky. The dealership wanted to charge me $ 1,400 to replace the rear drive shaft, Mike was able to do it for $ 400. Thank God for these guys!

Mike and the guys at Corky’s are honest, reasonable and all around good mechanics. I have taken all of my VW’s here for the past 8 years and will keep coming back as long as I have VW’s!

Took my 9 year old Passat to Corky’s the other day. The work was fast and the prices are very good. The VW dealers in Omaha are way too expensive for older VW. Corky’s does a good job and charges much less. This place a few blocks south and two blocks west of 60^th and L Sts.

I love Corky’s! I took my old as dirt Passat into Corky’s when the timing belt decided it was time for a break and took the valves down with it. The local VW dealer quoted me an insanely high price to fix the car. Which didn’t surprise me really because they’ve screwed me every which way I let them ever since moving here. Corky’s was more than fair and did a great job rebuilding the mess. They had the car forever but in the end, I was glad for the time they spent on it. Denny was awesome to work with and put up with my persistent, nagging calls each week, wondering how much this was all gonna cost me and when it would be done.

If you own an import model automobile and you’ve needed to have it repaired, then you are acutely aware of the racket that is getting automotive service at the dealership.
For example, the fuel door cable broke on my Honda Civic. It’s the cable that opens to gas tank door when you pull the lever in the car. Without it, you can’t put gas in your car. Without gas, cars are useless.
The dealership told me that I was looking at $ 400 to replace the cable. Denny at Corky’s did it for less than half of that, and a week earlier than the dealership would have been able to get the part in.
I love this place, and I highly recommend their service.
