From routine maintenance to complex repairs — plus rare Volkswagen and Audi specialist service right here in the Brainerd area.
Most shops won't touch them. We specialize in them.
Volkswagen and Audi vehicles are built to a different standard. European engineering means tighter tolerances, brand-specific electronics, proprietary diagnostic protocols, and components that most general repair shops have never worked with. Getting these vehicles wrong isn't just inconvenient — it's expensive.
Spikes Auto is one of the only shops in the Brainerd area with the experience, equipment, and parts knowledge to properly service VW and Audi. If you've been turned away by another shop or told you need to drive to the Twin Cities, call us first.
