    Thumbs up VW Audi Mechanic/ Ross Tech



    I am a certified VW Audi mechanic and I have my own copy of Ross Tech software and laptop.
    The Ross Tech can read any OBD port but is written mostly to handle the VW Audi platform.

    For fellow front rangers I am at your disposal. I can also help with repairs although I am limited
    in knowledge to VW/Audi/Land Rover/Lancia/Porsche (944 specifically)
    I do not charge for my time for friends, so feel free to hit me up if you need something.

    Hit me with your mercedes question. If I cannot help I can find someone who does know.

    Beetles are before my time. I am a watercooled guy. I can help do the work but cannot do
    it on my own.

    Hey Brad, I've got a '06 Jetta TDI I've been wanting to "chip" . Been looking at the KERMA tuning. Do you have any experience with these or any other products?

    I have heard nothing but good things about the KERMA programming. I have no personal experience with the product however.

    Just a reminder. I am still doing this type of work but am pursuing a job non automotive related.

    Saw your truck at work yesterday when stopping at high country. Don't like bothering people at work so drove on by looking to see if I saw you in the shop...no such luck or I woulda waved

    I am in the far right front bay. I am always busy, no shortage of work ever since I started. I do need to borrow your SWR meter to see if my CB is working or if its time to upgrade.

    Sure thing, I am about 2 minutes from your work. I start my new job tomorrow and will figure out what my hours are like but my wife is typically home by about 3:30. I'll look for it today and have it set out for you.

    I found my meter and it is in my living room. I believe I will be home by 5 or shortly there after but my wife should be home if I am not. Will send you a PM with my number and address in a bit.
