Ankers Automotive

Highly recommend this shop. I saved a bunch of money having my clutch replaced on my GTI. Much cheaper than the dealership down the street. Pete also replaced my brakes. Fair prices and Pete is great to deal with. If you need VW repairs, this is the place! Service: Auto maintenance

Highly recommend! Pete is honest, knowledgeable, and fair with price. I took my 2012 A4 to him for an oil change and to have him check out some issues I was having with my ac/heat and steering. He worked efficiently and my car is running like it's brand new! Nice to be able to trust a mechanic again. If you have an Audi this is the place to take it!

Amazing shop! Found them from their high VW reviews, dropped the car off and they told me it was a timing chain and that it should be covered under the dealership recall warranty that I was unaware of. I surely thought there would be some sort of cost for there time and 4 day car space I occupied. Nope! They were happy to do it for free and see it get covered for free under the warranty. Unbelievable high quality shop! I am so amazed and impressed.

Pete is a great mechanic! He will never rip you off, or convince you to do work you don't need. I've been bringing my cars to him for over 7 years. He will be my mechanic until he retires.

Pete the owner is an old school business person - he knows his business very well, delivers great customer service/value and builds long term relationships with his customers. I found out about him online and was impressed with his reviews. So I decided to drop off my 2008 Porsche Cayenne to get some exhaust repair work done as that model shares a number of common parts with a Volkswagen Tourag (Pete's company specializes in VW repairs). Pete diagnosed the problem, but told me that he could not do the work as the section of the exhaust that needed repair is not at all similar to the VW Tourag.

Most mechanics would have just taken the job and figured it out on the fly - instead Pete was honest with me and told me about some other options. I only wish I had a VW so I could use him as my future mechanic!

I've been bringing my car to Pete for nearly 15 years now. He always does great work with OEM parts. Even though I've moved to the Wedtminster area, I still bring my car for Pete's excellent service and advice. So happy to be a customer.

He saved me lots of money! I normally take my car to a really good friend that would repair my VW CC Passat at the dealer. So my car was very well maintained. Until recently the new owners wouldn't allow him to do repairs on the property so I had to scramble to find a trustworthy dealer who was conveniently located. I found this guy and I feel like I'm in good hands like my family friend.

This guy is awesome! There's a serious issue out there where we can't trust claimed professionals out there anymore. Either they rob us, or are just not competent. In either case, we end up paying for it. Not with Pete Ankers. He's honest, and knows his stuff. After Russel Volkswagen broke my car, and wanted over $2k to fixed it because they claimed it was related to something else, I took it over to Pete and he identified and fixed the problem for $75 bucks. This guy is obviously passionate about what he does, and that's who you want to go with. If you have a VW/Audi, go here. It's that simple. He'll take care of you.

I found Pete about 3 years ago when I was having a slew of problems with my 02 VW Jetta, Turbo. After 3 trips (and thousands of dollars) at the local dealership, I was fed up, angry and nearly broke. The dealership was telling me I had YET ANOTHER problem with the car that would cost several hundred in additional repairs. Then someone told me I should run the estimate by Pete - I stopped in and not only received a FREE estimate, but found out that there were several erroneous charges on my dealership estimate - repairs that were not even related to my VW! Needless to say I have not taken my car anywhere else since. Pete has treated me with more respect, fairness and dignity than the dealership ever did.

He always takes great care of my car and never over charges. It's so hard to find an honest mechanic (especially as a female) and I am grateful that I have finally found one. I refer him to every VW/AUDI driver I know - if your looking for a great mechanic in the Baltimore area - ANKERS is worth the trip every time!

Pete is a fair mechanic that will not screw you over which is hard to find in this field. He loves VWs and does good work for a fair price. He'll even do some extras for no charge every now and then. I've been going there since the dealer (VW on 40) screwed me in an oil change - they forgot to screw in the oil plug which caused all the oil to spill out in my driveway. Then they wanted to charge me more rather than fixing their mistake. Pete is awesome.
