They fixed my started and it was great. Car broke down few months later and dropped it off. They told me it skipped timing. Asked for clarification on how that was determined and the OWNER came back with the motor has no compression. They gave me two different prices. The last quote was around 15k to rebuild my motor with breaks and rotors. I decided to hold off because 15k is a lot of money to just give away. Few weeks later after having time to check the car out I got it to start up in 20min and tested for compression. All 6 cylinders had compression. Not sure what happened here but won’t be giving them my business.
Excellent work on my GTI. Very trustworthy, they know what they are doing, better than the dealer!
Great place! First European car for me, but I’m used to performance cars. Did my research and landed here. Not only was my DSG fluid+filter change cheaper than Audi, I also got an oil change along with it for less than I was quoted for the DSG servicing alone.Great people, good pricing, and they go the extra mile. Didn’t have the spare cash for a full walk through on my recently purchased S4 and they did it for free. Even noticed that my license plate screws were missing!!!Great, thorough shop. Will be back and would recommend to family and friends for sure.
This is a highly competent and professional shop which I consider actually better then a dealership. Seems like most of the staff has previous Audi/Vw shop experience and also enthusiasts themselves. I heard about this shop from a fellow HPA FT450 VW R32 customer who was very happy with his experience.HISTORY:My vehicle needed an engine drop for turbo replacement plus multiple gaskets that were leaking. Danny is very helpful and worked with me through ordering of many parts up until delivery. The whole experience which required parts to be shipped from Germany to Dealer wasn’t the fastest but parts on backorder plus Covid wasn’t helping speed things along for a 2006 vehicle.SERVICE:Tech Dave did and EXCELLENT job repairing my car. I was given a 6 page invoice and nothing was missed as per my instructions. The previous shop where I pulled the car from could have never provided the service offered at Innovative Motorsports. I’ve been to many large name shops in the region over the years and this shop is by far the best, highest transparency and no BS.ABOUT THE SHOP:The shop is large and well equipped. I would recommend anyone with a VW or Audi wanting to avoid the dealership but wants better then dealer costs and service to go to Innovative Motorsports. These guys are more then accommodating and very fair to work with. I’m glad to give them the 5 stars they deserve.
Innovative Motorsports is a great shop that really knows what they are doing, not easy to find in the VW/Audi world. I drove over 200 miles to use Tom since he just seemed like the only shop I wanted to trust my car with. I had Tom put a big turbo kit(stage3) in my Golf R and have been nothing but impressed with his work. He has a great relationship with the United Motorsports tuning shop and they have been able to turn my car into a little monster. The work was completed on time and within budget and he kept me updated throughout the whole process. Tom has taken the time to ensure I am a happy customer and Im extremely satisfied with his work. I cant recommend this shop enough. It should get even better with his new location. Keep doing what your doing Tom its great!
I met the owner (Alex) at a car show and he gave me a run down on the problems I was having with my car build. Alex then took the time to use a scan tool to run a diagnostic check, very kind of you ask me. Most places charge an arm and a leg for a fee but he instead gave a business card. A few months later I ended up giving him a call and he scheduled me in ASAP to drop off the car and even stayed a little later than usual because I was stuck in traffic to get to the shop. He and the crew at innovative motorsports worked tirelessly for a week to get all of the parts installed. I fell in love all over again with my old GTI because of these guy’s efforts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to tune, maintain, or repair their European car!
I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people in it. It’s rare from my experience to so fully enjoy and appreciate a visit to a car shop. These guys are passionate about what they do and they’re willing to educate you on what is necessary to get you to your goal.Both myself and a family member have had work done here, we won’t be going anywhere else!Thanks Tom & Alex.
I was so impressed by these men. I needed a new clutch in my 2012 Volkswagen and they went above and beyond my expectations. The pricing was much lower than I anticipated, and did not change upon installation. Most importantly, they educated me thoroughly on each part and the associated mechanisms. I would highly recommend innovative motor sports to any and everyone.
Never have to worry of they are ripping you off. Nothing but top notch service and they know what they are talking about. I am ONLY bringing my bike here from now on. Even though there are 17 shops closer that could take me, these guys are the best in the area
The only shop I take my car to. The quality of work is outstanding and they are really passionate about what they do. Cant say enough good things about Tom and his team.
Im very happy to have found this shop and that Alex and Mike worked on my car. Without naming prices or other shops these guys are affordable! Not the most and not the least, but they charged me exactly what I expected to pay based on the amount of time I knew the job took if you had a lift and shop tools handy. You can tell they know their stuff when it comes to Audi/VW. Will be coming back again. Thanks again guys.
Knowledgeable and helpful, great crew
This is the best place to go for VW/Audi work. I met the owner a few years back, & hes a awesome guy. He is a master mechanic, loves technical/difficult problems, as well as figuring out every day issues. You wont find a more honest, & knowledgeable Euro tech around.Highly recommend!!!
These guys know what they are doing! From the way Mike answered all of my questions on the phone, Alex and Tom went ABOVE AND BEYOND with the explanation and execution of my GTI. Picked the car up, and ive never had my car perform this well! Found my shop, and mechanics!!!!
The staff here is super cool and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to basically any European car. Brought both my BMW and VW Scirocco there for diagnosis and a few repairs and both are running beautifully with the work done in a timely manner.
Got a German car bting it here awesome customer service and they have a staff that is willing to work with you based on your budge for general maintenance and upgrades for more power this is the spot UMTune onsite.Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW etc...
Wouldnt trust my car to anyone else. Tom is a great guy and his attention to detail is flawless. Always willing to go the extra mile to help you out. Turboed my R32 about 2 years ago now and is daily driven. You always read about nightmare turbo builds.. i have yet to come across that in the 2 years due to the great work by Innovative.
These guys are the real deal
Tom is more of a German car doctor than a mechanic. He is very knowledgeable and dedicated. I had him do some exhaust/brake upgrades and regular maintenance on my 2013 Audi S4...
Mk7 Gti | IS38 | United Motorsport | Downpipe | Turbo Outlet Pipe | FMIC | RS7 SparkplugsInnovative Motorports is one of the top VW/Audi Performance Shop in the region and best in CT. Alex and Tom are VW master mechanics. They are true professionals, no bs, and affordable pricing for the top notch quality of work that they consistently provide. The other Major Benefit of dealing with Innovative is that they have a close relationship with United Motorsport, and are located 5 minutes apart for all performance software needs handled quickly.
Tom is a very talented and very knowledgeable guy. I always thought that he should be working in an OEM factory on the design side. He shop is very fair and they spent countless hours getting every detail right on my GTI.
Big thumbs up to Alex and Tom they really take the time to get things done right.
Awesome shop! Tom is the man and hooks it up for all your dubbin needs
Best German car tuner shop in the state of Connecticut you will wait for work to be done but it will be done above and beyond what you would normally expect well worth the time and money if you want it done right bring it here Ask for TOM
Pleasure to work with.
Great mechanic
