independent VW garage -london recommendation
« on: August 27, 2012, 04:15:42 pm »
Hello,

Can  any  kind  soul  recommend  an independent  VW work shop  to  get  my cambelt and  water  pump  changed. It  is  apparently  due   for  change and  my  local  dealer  is  quoting me £470 for  the pleasure.  I'll just  like  any  recommendation in  the   London area most  preferably  south  London. I   have  seen quite a few  but   will actually  prefer  one  someone  here  has  patronised.
Thanks All

^^^^ sounds about the right price from a main dealer.  :laugh:

Not a million miles from you, have a look at JKM Pefromance in Portsmouth. A well respected independent specialised of the 2.0TFSI. You would still be saving money including travel cost plus the bonus being you will have an indie you can use for those future mods you may have planned.   This is there servicing costs ect

VW Enterprise off Walworth Road.

Never used him myself but know a few people that have.

If you go to the Croydon Meet on Thursdays he would be the guy in the Yellow S3. (you really can't miss him).

Also Beadles in Bromley sometimes give discounts on that package.

Portmouth is quite a way away from London considering he asked for London specically.

No address on the website, But google tells me they're in Croydon.
I see they do Revo software, Might go to them for my DSG remap.
I was going to use Russell Automotive center in north London, only 11 miles away
