Great place to get your German vehicle serviced. The front desk is very knowledgeable and the techs are quite capable. It is a bit of a drive but its worth it for the peace of mind and care they provide.
I have had an absolutely stellar experience with this shop, they are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to make sure you understand everything being done to your vehicle. They are incredibly competitively priced, their lounge area is very clean and comfortable, you can tell this team is really passionate about what they do and it shows in their work. I won’t be taking my Audi anywhere else, so glad I brought my car here.
Outstanding operation. Been getting my Audis maintained here for 15+ years. Extremely knowledgeable techs and friendly, helpful customer-facing staff.
On 8/6/21 I took my GLI in for the license plate being out and the walnut blasting in hopes of fixing my sputtering problem thats been happening since my tune that they did on my car. A good solution wouldve been detuning and seeing if it still does it, which was not offered. The service advisor, David, was rude to say the least with less than deplorable behavior. Upon my arrival I told him what I was in for and my car goes back. One hour later he calls me up and tells me my car is throwing all these different codes for my fan not working and then says theres gonna be a diagnosis fee for the sputtering. I told him no, I told you I wanted the walnut blasting in hopes of fixing the problem, not to diagnosis anything. On top of the $799 for the walnut blasting he wanted to charge an additional $98.53 an hour plus the $98.53 an hour for the license plate light, which I told him was just the wire, plus $590 for the fans. After I told David that my car never showed any signs of over heating he tried to explain that it had been happening for 3 weeks and said he would show me. Being a former service advisor myself, I asked more questions and explained that I am going to be making a big purchase and wanted to be sure I was spending money on something that is needed now and could not wait. David became visibly irritated and said Ill just pull your car out because you already said you dont have any money and I wanna get paid and would not show me the what he was talking about and for that reason I will never trust anyone there with my baby again. It seemed as if he knew how much I love and cared for my car and tried to play with my emotions. As a former service advisor Ive always treated my customers car how I wouldve wanted my cared for and hearing doors slammed while standing at the counter, not to mention being cheated out of $98.53 for the light they did not fix because my car sat back in their shop for an hour.
Very helpful with providing information I needed
Called and smoke to the service manager. They were knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Great group of guys from front office to the shop. Were able to work with me based on budget and needs. Super knowledgeable of products and incredibly friendly. Easy to feel safe in decisions made based on their recommendations.
Nice place, went with a buddy to look at some parts for his Gti, and browsed around myself for some a7 things. When my time is right, I will be going to them some custom work.
Order a part in May & they did nothing with the order for almost 2 months. When I checked the status in July, I was told they were just finalizing the order & would be a few more weeks.Due to this incompetency, I canceled the order. They still charged me a 10% restocking fee even there was nothing to restock.Horrible experience.
Very knowledgeable and helpful. Been taking my MkV GTI there for several years with great experiences every time. Good prices and great service.
Nothing leaves stock show. They didnt bring hardly and stuff for sale this year. Especially for my car.
I was here last year to get an APR Stage 2 reflash on my GTI. Theyre service was friendly and as fast as reasonably expected. Thumbs up.
NGP is great and would recommend them to anyone with a VW or Audi vehicle for any maintenance. Recently had some Bilstein coilovers installed on my MK7.5 Golf R, previously had an alignment issue they were able to fix as well easily during the install. The car handles great and I am really happy with it. Thanks to Arno, Scott and the whole team at NGP.
UPDATE: Im a bit overdue but I came back to amend my review. The owner reached out to me several times since the below incident occurred. They went through great lengths to re-establish rapport with me to include offered discounts on oil changes. Ive since returned to have additional work performed on my vehicle to include a new clutch and APR tuning and Ive had nothing but great customer service. I do believe in second chances and look forward to doing more business with NGP in the future.I came in for a basic oil change. I was scheduled for a time slot from 2 to 3. Mind you, Im a new customer. An hour and 10 minutes goes by and I havent heard anything. I speak to the manager to inquire about a status update. He tells me its going to be another 45 minutes. I told him I dont have that kind of time. He says let me see what I can do, but he was very dismissive. Another 10 minutes goes by and he comes out to tell me I can pay now so when its done I can be ready to go. I mentioned that Im a new customer and so far this has not been a good experience. He says ok..very nonchalant. I had to coax an apology out of him. He obviously didnt see why I was bothered.I can understand people running behind but you have to COMMUNICATE that with your customers instead of just leaving them in a holding pattern. While Im sure they do good work here, their performance was overshadowed by poor customer service. I wont be back and Ill be glad to tell others not to do the same.
As someone who does most of their own vehicle repair and maintenance, Im hesitant on handing cars over to a mechanic. My experience with NGP has been great. Very knowledgeable staff with plenty of patience when I had issues with my bank on Presidents Day. I was happy to hear when my invoice came in under the estimated cost too! I dont think there is another shop I would consider to work on my audi. Thank you NGP for your hard work!
Great people and reputable business to work with
Great guys, whether they are traveling to shows or in the showroom, always helpful and ready to earn your business. I have had work done in Aberdeen and outside Showboat Casino never a complaint.
These guys always do whats asked and more. They are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to explain things when I ask questions.Great business.
These folks were very helpful with questions i had for my 2.0T Audi when I was rebuilding it and buying parts thru them
Buy a short shifter online came incomplete call for a return of my money first take forever to come n now i have to weeks still waiting to return this calls n the say they r waiting for a return confirmation this people r not professional at all
Excellent Customer Service
Quick mil check, got vcds ross-tech.
Super nice and helpful guys there. Highly recommend for any performance work needed .
Very professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who has a German car.
There is no pressure to do anything nor buy anything. They have a project car that they were more than happy to show in 90+° weather without a guarantee Id buy anything. The drive was 1hr and 15 min and worth every second. Ill be going back there, definitely for my next mod. I dont write detailed reviews but these guys are worth it....Went stage two today. Really liking the car. Just as before, I had a very good experience here. Its worth the drive even if its just for an oil change. Ive found a shop I trust and in the automotive industry this is invaluable. Thanks guys!Got stage two high torque and a BFI clutch. Again rapid excellent service. Gotta break in my clutch before finally enjoying the APR file. The only drawback is my wallet. Otherwise Id live here!Had the NGP 1 coilovers installed to replace lowering springs. What a huge difference! Plus the car is even. The ride feels stock again till I lean on it. Its always a good experience here.
The best! No question. My cars ( 2015 Audi Q7 TDI and my 1993 VW Cabby 1.8T) see no-one else. Cheers to NGP!
Hands down one of the best European garages in the north east.
Great place with great people!! A euro cat enthusiasts paradise.
Audi 2017rs7 stage 2 apr Had the work done about 2 years ago and the car has been perfect. No issues. Very pleased. Will use again.
I’ve had this shop do multiple tunes and work on several of my cars! Always perfect, no issues, excellent attention to detail. Last tune was a simple high torque stage one on my 2019 Golf R. Also did the DSG upgrade. TRANSFORMED the car. Shout out to Mike, Arno and Dave for the hands on.
Just had a major leak overhaul and many, many other things done to many to list these guys did a beautiful job best shop ever. I have a 2004 R32 GOLF 6 SPEED manual Simply the best!!!!
Have gone from stage 1 to stage 2 with NGP and they’ve been amazing to work with all the way. Extremely responsive and professional. Much much better than many of those local tuner shops, these folks are the real deal.
Good service, took a little longer then inspected but they were very thorough.
I had called simply for a price on a performance part. You will be surprised, and pleased, with the extraordinary customer service.
Got a stage 1 APR tune. They were friendly, flexible with scheduling and did a great job. This car is way more fun to drive!
These guys are fantastic. Way more reasonable prices compared to my local dealer on repairs and general maintenance work, thorough advice and details on what work does and does not need to be done, easy appointment scheduling, and friendly helpful staff. Cant recommend them enough.
I have been trusting my Mk 6 GTI to NGP for just shy of 5 years now. Always professional and not attempting to sell extra services that are not required. Highly recommend for your service needs.
Very knowlegable staff, large selection of parts online or in store. If you are waiting for service they have a nice waiting area and a clean and secure facility. I continue to return for all my Volkswagen parts.
Had my BMW repair and the job was well done very friendly staff always call me to keep me posted on anything done to the car definitely recommend it ... N I will also definitely be back ....
Does great work
Great place to deal with. They did an exhaust, intake, Tune, and powder coat wheels on my Audi R8 im very happy
NGP has a Very professional atmosphere. Wide selection of parts, and knowledge. Thats hard to find. My GTI is transformed.Thank you & Stay safe NGP!A 3rd location would be great. Annapolis, Crofton, Bowie area.
Awesome group of Volkswagen enthusiasts, this is your go to place for all performance needs!
No one else compares!!
Really helpful. They know what they are doing and are better at diagnosing issues compared to the dealership.
NGP is the best, highly recommend taking your VW/Audi there if you want quality service. If you are on the fence about an APR tune/DSG update, it’s 100% worth it. It makes the car feel like an entirely different animal. Much thanks to Arno and rest of the staff!
Great place to get an euro fixed, well managed, clean shop and very knowledgeable technicians
If you own a Volkswagen or Audi this is the shop to go too. They did the stage 2 tune and dsg tune. Had me in and out in 1 hour. Scott and Zach were easy to talk to and very helpful. Thanks NGP!
Thank you for being my one stop shop as I travel for work and need someone to help order those hard to get items from Germany. I want to thank everyone at NGP to include Mr. Mike. You guys always have what we need for our cars (my wife’s Audi and mine) in stock or have it within a couple days when ordered. You guys rock thanks again!
I cant thank the guys here enough. From the Amazing customer service to the attention of detail they use while they work on your car. They treat you like you are part of their family. Absolutely outstanding!! I started with an APR tune and high flow cat last year and now an APR K04 TURBO and intercooler. The results are night and day. If you own an Audi or VW this is the ONLY place to go!!! Thanks so much guys!!
Good people - the place to go for routine work or performance upgrades
The East Coast Leaders (in VW/Audi care and tuning). Thats what my friend and I refer to them as, and I say that as a repeat customer. The kind of customer that does their research ahead of time and constantly price compares and researches whats involved in an upgrade.Started off by contacting them over three quarters of a year ago via email. I asked a lot of questions and what did I get? Detailed point by point answers. In what started as a series of specific questions, turned into a robust email correspondence between myself and NGP.Props to Mike who broke everything down and constantly does so when Im curious about something. When breaking things down, they go all the way to a quote when asked and if you decide to pursue, even months later, the price is still honored. I personally waited about half a year on something I had previously inquired and received a quote on.For perspective, not everything Ive inquired about with them Ive had done to my car. As mentioned by other reviews, they do not pressure you but like any vendor if they have a sale or an honest recommendation, they will be proactive in bringing it to your attention. Theres a really big reason for not having to actually hard pressure you or do what typical service centers will do and up-sale. They dont have to. They know their recommendations are rock solid and have seen time and time again the result of said recommendations. Its more like.. they are happy to recommend something they knew youre going to like... that kinda enthusiasm.As for pricing on parts, their prices are the same youre going to find elsewhere and they will even price match. I didnt need this done personally as I already did my research, but while waiting for a job to complete, they were doing this with other customers who asked to do so.As for pricing on their hourly rate, Im a firm believer in the adage you get what you pay for and it definitely applies here. NGPs hourly labor charge is not the highest Ive seen, and its certainly not bargain basement. It is above average - ie their hourly isnt cheap. What does this mean? It means these arent the guys you come to for an oil change or a simple tire rotation. Its the guys you confidently come to when you wanna drop $300-$1,200 in upgrades (or repairs to fix a problem) that you want to be extremely confident in the work youre getting done.Because thats exactly what youre getting from them. If you want to baby your car and sport it up, there is no better place to go. These fine gentlemen will keep your baby tip top!If you want to talk about honesty, heres my testimony.I brought in a used car I had purchased and had no idea what had been done to it tune wise previously. I was paying for ECU upgrade. Within 5 minutes of taking the car back and plugging it into the computer, the technician came back out where I was informed the specific tune was already on my car, but had been reset to factory settings. This literally saved me $500 as all I had to do was pay to transfer the name on the account to myself and then get the actual stage 1 tune I wanted for free.From Texas to Maine I cant count on one hand the places Ive been to previously in 30 years of owning a car that would have turned down an easy payday like that. They could have just switched the name on the account, changed the tune, and said nothing while making bank. But thats not what they did. They were upfront, direct, and honest, and continue to be since.My car is substantially more enjoyable, both performance and general quality of life improvements, from work Ive had them do vs when I originally purchased it. 60-70% were things they had recommended.Absolute amazing difference. Thank you Mike, and more recently Arno. Yes, my shifting experience definitely went from Stirring chicken soup to lock and loading a rifle. And shes super quiet now thanks to the subframe bushings. No more popping and creaking. Ahhhhhhhh quality of driving life went up substantially.5 firm stars to the NGP crew and making my car better than ever!
Nice shop with friendly and helpful staff. They have a nice selection of popular parts on hand. Customer parking is a little limited, but exists, (place seems quite busy with work, which is a good indicator.)My first experience with NGP was at Dub Deliverance 17 at Dominion raceway in VA. They had a large race trailer with 2 staffed mechanics bays and a nice little products area with event appropriate items. They were offering reasonably priced services for track support to attendees. It was the reason I made a two hour round trip to check out their facility, worth it IMHO.
The guys are all knowledgeable, communicative and provide excellent customer service at all times. The techs are super pros... and my Audi is now a high performance machine. I highly recommend for Audi and VW highest quality performance upgrades
Theyre going to put a new exhaust on my car.
Great place to get great work done at a fair price.
Exceptional service and very honest, the place is kept exceptionally clean and they will not steer you in the wrong direction
Awesome group of folks and top notch work! Reason why my vehicle was towed 80 miles to them.
Great place, people and service. They actually care about your vehicle. Been coming here for years. Long overdue positive review right here!!
Great friendly staff, solid work and reasonable prices.
Staff is knowledgeable and professionalI feel like i can trust this business with the health of my car and any major modifications i might do to the car
Great service, didnt over charge me and wasnt trying to sell me services I didnt need
Go here for routine maintenance and for the larger interval services such as the 55k maintenance. Every time I have been here the price has been extremely reasonable and the work completed quickly. Staff is very friendly and there is zero pressure to fix things. Will be going here as long as I am in the area.
Awesome staff and answered my questions for aftermarket parts for my VW GLI
It is tuners like this that make you stick with certain brands of cars. Ive never owned a German car prior to three years ago. NGP came HIGHLY recommended by every German car owner that I know. The staff is great, very helpful, informative, they have gained my trust almost immediately. Anybody who has been involved in the tuner scene (prior to its explosion) knows that reputable shops are extremely rare, but one you find one, you better support them!!!
The place is like heaven for German performance. The guys there are professional and knowledgeable. We drove almost two hours to have them work on one of our Volkswagen and it was definitely worth every minute!
Great shop and very good customer service. Much better pricing than a dealer too. If you have a VW theres no better place to take your car.
Best place to get any work done to your car !!! Oil change or top performance . When you leave there you know the work is done correct an clean . I have been going to them for over 15 years an it has all the new parts you are looking for . Thanks again guys !!
Ordered some suspension parts for my 14 GLI. Had a problem with my card and shipping address, but Jason got a hold of me right away and got it all figured out. Shipped out the next day and received them today. A week in total for everything to go through and ship. Highly recommend them. Will no doubt order more parts from and through this company
Highly recommend this place. I have taken my Audi 3 times, APR tune, AWE exhaust, and Stoptech brake installation. I am enjoying all 3 of my mods. Brakes were cheaper then OEM dealers installation
Been going there for years. The only place I trust to work on my MK3. They do great OEM and Performance work. Highly recommend.
These guys are hands down the best VW/Audi shop around. They do performance tuning and regular maintenance. I went there for a simple APR stage 1 and was in and out in no time and it was almost like getting a brand new car.
Guys do a great job and are always happy to help. They use good parts at a good price never had a issue they couldn’t fix in a day.
They are great. Do great work with excellent quality staff. I will be returning.. Thanks NGP
I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing the owners and staff of NGP for over 20 years now and I can say without hesitation that this company is THE place to have your Volkswagen and Audi serviced in the Delaware/Maryland and DC metro area. They have the deep technical expertise and experience to be able to maintain and improve your car at the most reasonable cost.
The mechanics here are amazing and are very helpful. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone, tuner or not.
These guys are the best... I spent almost $2,000 trying to fix my VW Cabrio at the dealer and a my local mechanic, and I still had a check engine light. I could not get my car through inspection. NGP repaired my car in less than an hour, and did not even charge my for the part they took off their VW parts car. The car went right through the inspection exactly one year late... I will be going back for all any future problems with my VW... Thanks NGP....
Cousin Jamie loves their work!
Ive been taking my VW here for 5 yrs. These guys are excellent.
The entire group of workers are polite and knowledgeable. The best option for euro auto repair and tuning in the area.
Pooooower!!!! Jeremy Clarkson would be proud. I enjoyed getting my tune here! The staff is awesome and do everything they can to help you.
Great place to go for work on your vw Audi cars. Went there to get my drls turned off. They hooked me up with fob window roll down. Will definitely head back there for work on my car again.
Real nice guys. Free install on my APR software
I am a supplier of higher quality of automotive hardware and light bulbs . This is obviously a reflection of the quality of work they do. Highly recommended!
I have had NGP do numerous things to my 06 2.5L and have only been surprised once with a bill. Overall quality of work, outstanding, and their customer service is always top notch. Very friendly, and they have upgraded their shop to be grade 10, in my book. They have also be voted one of the top Euro shops in the country over the last 5 to 6 years, TOPs on the east coast, I believe for 2011-13. Not too bad.
For a quick ECU flash it always takes several hours. Also was lied to, told to get the APR Fully Loaded Package for Stock Mode Emissions Testing, However APR never made it for my ECU and was charged anyways for a package that does not work.
Excellent shop. Very pleased with the work they did on my Audi RS7. Two thumbs up
Best speed shop around.
Great experience time after time. Friendly knowledgeable staff. I recommend to everyone!!
Awesome place super helpful!
The guys at NGP have been an incredible resource from before day one! I am the owner and mechanic of a mk6 GTI, 6spd manual, Tornado Red. My first nice car (upgrade from 95 Ford Escort). I work on it, love it, and I spend a lot of time working to afford it, and working on it to keep it pristine. Im incredibly selective of who gets to put their hands on my glorious machine..I have a friend who is a mechanic, and who drives a mk6 R. He had his car tuned here and per his recommendation, I decided to go to NGP to tune my car. I live two hours away (in one direction), and wanted stage 2 flashed to my car. 6 weeks before I bit the bullet and purchased the tune, I began reaching out to guys at NGP. I wanted to make sure all my ducks were in a row before taking a mini road trip up North.I told them my mechanical history, my goals, and who referred me. Before ever even meeting any of the guys here, I had spent a collective several hours via phone/email communicating with several of the techs. I felt like I had a good idea of what to expect, how long it would take, and how much it was going to cost. I installed a cat-less downpipe on my GTI and headed over. By the time I showed up for the first time, I felt like I had been a customer for years. Im aware that sounds tacky. Thats an incredibly reassuring feeling.When I walked in and introduced myself, I was greeted like I was an old friend from 30 years ago that had grown past immediate recognition. They offered me options I didnt know I could get, and, very generously, honored a promotional price that had ended A WEEK ago. Over a hundred bucks off! It took them exactly an hour, as predicted, and when my tech drove my car to me after taking it for a post-tune test drive, I could tell he was driving with discretion and respect to me and my car.Ultimately, I had a brilliantly seamless experience. Something that is rare, as far as Ive gathered in my 23 years on this earth. In addition, I left with more AND spent less than I was originally quoted.The reason for such a specific review is:I own and operate a very small local repair business, that relies on good people who care about the businesses from whom/where they get services. Being on the other end of the spectrum, this is the kind of shop I would recommend to everyone because they care about their customers, regardless of the money being (or not being) made. These guys set the bar high when it comes to customer service.TL;DR (too long; didnt read)They spent over a month and a half helping me, with no real profit and with no real assurance that it was going to be profitable for them. When time finally came around for me to actually be a customer, they exceeded any and all expectations. Thanks NGP!
Very helpful service center. Jason is always a help and is very knowledged.
This visit was only to gather information. Charles delivered on every question, his knowledge and customer service abilities are unparalleled.
If you need work done you would be silly to go anywhere else. The guys at the shop are extremely professional, kind and VERY knowledgeable.
Absolutely, hands-down the BEST shop in MD for anything German!!! I started with my 97 Jetta years ago there, and have had my GTI, a Passat, Tiguan, and Rabbit serviced here many times, as well as recommended family to take their cars in for service here. For some reason I always forgot to leave a review over many years of coming to the shop. I moved out of MD just over a year ago and finding a mechanic to replace NGP has been near impossible down here in FL, but even before I left they were helping. Scott gave me some information on reputable places in FL and by contacting them Ive found some decent shops locally to me. What finally made me wake up and realize I needed to leave a review was my last call to NGP. I reached out to Jason and Dave about my 2011 Tiguan and a part I was struggling to find, so Dave looks everything up for me and finds out that I need to order an entire assembly to get the small part I need. Instead of trying to up-sell me on the part, he tells me that he found the exact part I need on a parts car he has and that he will just give it to me. But it wasnt even that easy...I live in FL now and he offered to ship it to me even with me not planning on ordering any parts. To me, that is just how this shop is ran and how it has been each and every time I was there.To Dave, Jason, Mike, Scott, and the rest of the crew at NGP: youre literally the one thing I miss about being in MD as Im not sure I will ever find a shop as honest as you guys.
Great product knowledge and experience
