Specialty Service

Volkswagen & Audi Specialists

Most shops won't touch them. We specialize in them.

Volkswagen and Audi vehicles are engineered with European precision — tighter tolerances, unique electronics, and brand-specific systems that most shops simply aren't equipped to handle. If you drive a VW or Audi in the Brainerd area, your options are limited. Spikes Auto is one of the very few local shops with the experience, tools, and deep knowledge required to properly diagnose and repair these vehicles. We've been doing it for decades, and we do it at an affordable price.
