I got a bevy of things installed. Stage 3 clutch, springs, sway bar, down pipe, intercooler and some other miscellaneous items. Josh was very upfront about the availability and time frame the work would take. He got everything done for me for a very competitive rate and I actually took the car to the track the next day and it held up great (the ultimate test!)

Josh did a great job on replacing the turbos that went out in my 2016 A8. I definitely will have to recommend him for more business.

I’ve been coming to Altered Components for a year and every single issue my Mk7 GTI has had is now fixed. From carbon cleaning my valves to installing some bolt on’s, this is the best shop to take your VW/Audi to!

Owner Josh Hannabas is the best mechanic for VW and Audi in Northern Virginia. Very detail-oriented.

Josh and his wife are friendly and fun, getting my VW worked on was more like hanging out at someone’s house rather than at a shop. My VW got a new clutch and some additional goodies and he did a fantastic job, and his quotes are way better than what any of the “name brand” shops want. If you have a VW (or any car that he can work on), I HIGHLY recommend asking for a quote. It might seem like it’s off the beaten path from the DC suburbs, but really, it’s only 30-45 mins from Lorton 😉😉

Josh was awesome he was aware that I was getting ready to take my car across country towing a trailer behind it. He took the time to make sure everything on my car was good to go and working properly. I highly recommend Altered Components if you need work on your car. Josh knows what he doing and he does it very well and takes pride in his work. And ladys just a heads up you do not get a attitude when you take your car to him he explains what he is doing and why he is doing it which is so rare that I had to mention it. Thanks for everything Josh! Stay Blessed

Josh @Altered Components is literally the best place you could bring your vehicle to. I have had nothing but positive experiences every time I bring my car to his shop. He is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely patient. He explains everything to you before you show up, while you drop your car off, and after he completes the work. I would recommend this shop to every single person who owns a vehicle. Thank you Josh, keep up the great work!

Hands down the best business in the area. Josh runs his shop super professional and keeps you informed on everything he does from beginning to end. I couldnt be happier with how things went when I brought in my vehicle. This is legit the place to take your car! Glad I was told about this diamond of a shop, nobody else compared.

Josh is a fantastic individual!! knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Fairly priced , wont try to sell you services or parts you dont need.Definitely someone I trust working on my cars. I will be coming back for additional workThank you Josh !! you got a customer for life .

Cannot say enough about Josh. His attention to detail is paramount! Very fair priced. Full of integrity! Recommend over and over. A++

I would highly recommend Altered Components for any Volkswagen or Audi repair, modifications, etc. Rest assured, your car is in good hands with Josh. Hes meticulous and is very knowledgeable about these cars. His prices are very fair and he stands by his work. Even though Im an hour away, Im more than happy to make the trip to Altered to get my car fixed right the first time.

Good shop, good people

Josh at Altered Components is the best guy to work on your car hands down. I have a MK6 GTI and I had my clutch upgraded, rear main seal upgraded, did a timing chain tensioner revision, and full turbo-back exhaust installed. Not only did he do amazing quality work but also had an amazing turnaround! Not to mention being fully transparent with everything being done and giving me updates along the way! Great guy and great shop! Recommend 100% to anyone in the DMV area.

Can’t say enough about the great experience I had at Altered Components. Josh is very knowledgeable and answered every question I asked. His prices are very fair and I will not be taking my car anywhere else moving forward. Heading back soon for the next round of repairs and upgrades and I can’t wait.

Josh, wish I couldve given you more stars! Your professionalism and workmanship were impressive.Thanks again, fitment looks great and the ride is equally pleasing..If anyone is looking for a suspension upgrade look no further, youd be doing yourself a disservice if you let anyone other than @Alteredcomponents install.

Josh was very knowledgeable with specialized audi repairs. Even when he made a small mistake he was quick to correct it and honest in his work. His prices are also very reasonable!I drove an hour for his service and have no regrets!

5 starts for his great roast pork tacos they were delicious with a hint of 5W30

Ive known Josh (the owner of Altered Components) for about a year now. Since Ive met him and seen his work, hes been the only one who I allow to work on my car. He does some of the best and cleanest work Ive ever seen. Quality and attention to detail are apparent in every job. The aftermarket part installs are works of art, and the repairs and maintenance will have you questioning whether somebody was ever working under there. Whether you are a car enthusiast or not, the end product Altered Components will provide you is simply awe striking.

I have had Josh work on my car several times and he definitely knows what he is doing. Not only is he quick, he also gets the job done right and his prices are hard to beat! His service is top notch and hes also a great guy. If you need any maintenance done or need some mods installed on your VW or Audi, this should be the only shop to consider.

Only place Ill being my euro car for more in depth services. Got timing chain and coilovers installed this time around.

Josh is extremely professional and his pricing is more than fair. He is god tier when it comes to volkswagens. He has done my down pipe and will eventually be doing my air ride install.

Josh goes above and beyond to ensure quality work at a reasonable cost. The best air ride installer in all of DMV, if you want things done right the first time, youre at the right place! Also recently went here for a turbo back install on my S6, needless to say I will not be going anywhere else.

VW and Audi wizards. Custom Auto genius. Excellent work, stands behind their workband superior pricing.

Very knowledgeable and excellent service!

Josh has worked on my car and it was top notch work. Fast and his price is always the best. Will be taking all my cars there.

I had multiple performance upgrades installed on my Mk7.5. Lowering springs, flush kit for the wheels, rear sway bar, bleeder block, clutch hose, shifter bushings, short shift kit, downpipe, turboback exhaust, a stage 2 clutch, and a bunch of other small parts. Not only did Josh do a perfect install, he had it done in one day, at a price no one else I took the car could match. Extremely personable, pleasant, and super car savvy. I will only bring my car to him for service or upgrades from this point on, even though hes almost a 3 hour drive from me. Would recommend to any of my friends or family. Thanks team at Altered Components!!!

Great owner, super great work

Off many recommendations I drove over an hour to Altered Components. Fast, easy, and Josh and his folks are great people as well.

Great place to take your VW!

Meant to do 5 starts from the get go. My bad josh.

Highly recommend!
