I'm a certified Yanmar dealer mechanic and worked for the US Navy for 34 years where I often did emergency repairs after hours and in faraway places as well as training midshipmen on maintaining their diesel engines on their sail training craft.
But now that I'm retired with back issues I rely on one shop for my heavy mechanical repairs.
That is Annaptown Import Services.

Brought my car here for a new motor install. The install was botched and the car has not run correctly since I received the car back. I tried to bring the issues to Freddie’s attention but they were never addressed.

I recommend all my vw friends to Fred the Motörhead for repairs and service. Fred had been servicing my vw for over 29 years. I would not go anywhere else. His knowledge and generosity is one of a kind

Fred is a wealth of knowledge and know how for car repairs and service. He has been servicing my family's cars for many years. His love of imports is a treasure to our community.

This is the kind of response I would expect from Fred. Broken english babble. Just blast nonsense at anyone who calls you out on shotty work. The engine was never rebuilt, you were the first to rebuild and to get into the case, ever. You provided the bearings remember. You did this because you "supposedly" line bored the case. You knew the car was lowered, you installed the oversized oil pan, not me. I am confused when you say I was going to fix an oil leak I caused two years ago. I picked up the car from you in January 2021with a complete engine rebuild. And yes, the car had an oil leak but only after you tore into it. And yes, I had to try to fix an oil leak that you created. Then you had it back in May 2021 because it wouldn't stay running. As for taking off with the pedal to the floor, the car would not stay running, remember. That's why I had to being it back to you. And saying ,"after driving for a while that he hit something on the road and car was leaking oil", that is hilarious. Your timeline and claims don't add up. I also could post texts Fred. Nothing short of a hack.

Fred the Motorhead. Yup that's the owners name. That should give you some sense of what to find in this shop. Fred and his crew are well versed most all auto and motorcycle repairs. They shine though in their knowledge of slightly rare to obscure import classics. If you have a conundrum, Fred is pretty good at finding a solution. He has been in his Edgewater shop for decades and has a network of tech/mech friends and associates through out the area which I feel gives him an advantage at problem solving. A man full of character and candor. If you got a unique ride that needs some love start with the Motorhead. ?

Love this place and Fred is the only person I let near my car, because when I need a mechanic, this is the only place I'll take my car.

Fred really knows vintage cars, especially VWs. I needed some machine work while in the middle of rebuilding my Bug front end. He took my parts and had the work done on one day. Price was great too. Very friendly and helpful to the vintage guys. The only place I would take my VWs.
