Are you not near west yorkshire way? Could check vw crosshills, ask for ben, top guy, always a deal to be done  :signLOL:

Just booked in with Ben & Crosshills - top Guy - Big GTI fan.

Service, Cam Belt, Water Pump, MOT, Loan Car.  £430 all in  :happy2:
£90       Â£280         Â£40              £25    plus an extra £5 off  :smiley:

Thought MOT was due in mid June - so May Test - But a July car - June Test & Service Hope cam belt holds out.
Glad ben has sorted something out, he's a top lad. Always happy to help

My second sefice last month, had a similar post up also...I payed £175 for oil, filter, pollen filter and brake fluid change. The safety checks they speak of are free, and standard at second service time i am told.  :happy2:
I was quoted £240 at another dealer without brake fluid change!  :stupid:

Well i've spoke to three VWMDs now. Two of them - Preston and Blackburn are both part of the Lookers group and whilst they would "price match" other LOCAL dealers, both of them appear to be price FIXING by quoting the same £225.50. This EXCLUDES brake fluid change!!

The other quote was from VW Crosshills nr Skipton who've quoted £180 but i was unable to speak with Ben. Lookers would probably say they are not local so will not match prices  :fighting:

Question: I work for a motor dealership (non-VW) so it would be really easy for me to have the service done whilst at work. But what do you think about a 2yr old Ed30 without full VWMDSH if it came to sale time?

Book it in with Ben and ask for a loan car.
I love the drive over the pennines and White Rose is the first dealer I have ever spoken to that knows what they are on about and are enthusiastic about it too (well Ben at least)
Re stamp in the book. Working for a dealers, you probably know the importance more than the rest of us.
Complete stich up but potental buyers look for it as standard.
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.

I would be put off personally but then I'm fussy... :smiley:
