Only problem was it was almost 2 hours away! The car's pictures, description and detail on the website made me give them a call. Eric Reder filled me in on the details over the phone and stressed how much work they put into the car before putting it on the lot. I was surprised to hear that because the car only had 36,000 miles on it! He also said that the car looks better in person than in pictures (he was right!). I drove out and met with Eric Huber and immediately hit it off with him- we are both VW guys. The car looked showroom condition (my wife said several times she can't believe its not new) but Huber's went over the car and performed all of the 40,000 mile services on it. The car is only at 36,000 miles! The point is, I think they could have just vacuumed it, washed it, put 2 tires on it and put it for sale, but Eric explained that most of his customers come there for follow up service and if I came back for the next oil change at 40,000 miles and he hit me with VW's recommended 40,000 mile service charge, I would undoubtedly be P.O'd since I just bought the car. And he's right. Eric showed me the list of all the work performed and gave me a copy for my records. Very impressed with that kind of thinking. Huber's is a full service car repair facility that also sells high quality used cars and they put good cars on the lot to keep their customers happy so they'll come back for service. Worked out well for me!

I read the reviews of his work prior to visiting his shop for a quote. I was concerned about a negative review written by an individual. The individual apparently was having an emotionally bad day when he visited 12-Volt Dave’s. Some people in this world cannot be pleased no matter how hard someone tries. I met Dave, the owner, and I was impressed with his knowledge, courtesy and pricing. The price quoted was an average price for work of this type but the quality of his work was outstanding, to say the least. The work I wanted done was straight forward work installing hidden power leads to my GPS and dash cam. His quote before the work was performed was $40.00 to $60.00 dollars, including tax. The amount of the bill was midway within the quoted amount. I know individuals who have been quoted low prices by a facility north of Allentown only to be told at time of installation the bill was going to be more than double the quoted amount. 12-Volt Dave was a man of his word with the quote, the actual price and the professional, factory look of the installation. I do not know what more a person could reasonably expect from Dave’s facility. Price was as quoted. Work was professional. And, the attitude of both Dave and his employees was exemplary. It would be my guess the person who wrote the negative review of Dave’s place is just a generally unhappy person who wanted something for nothing. I would, and will, go back to 12-Volt Dave’s for more work in the future. And, so you do not think I am a kid in his 20’s with little experience dealing with individuals, I am in my 60’s, work in Manhattan most days and I call things the way they are.
