I used to take my Ed30 to Vw Manchester (not any more).
I now use Lee's Garage in Oldham :
http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/353619.aspxHe is the only mechanic i trust to work on my car. He is a small independant but i can promise top notch service, very good quality of work at very reasonable rates.
Ive used Lee for many years now. He is a decent honset guys that goes the extra mile to look after his clients. He will not be beaten on price on servicing (using Genuine Parts). All my family's cars as well as work colleagues take their cars to him. He knows the VAG platform inside out but his knowledge of all other brands is top notch.
He's based in Royton near Oldham so not too far. Give him a call and tell him Chinese Rich from the forum put you in touch. He will look after you
Hope this helps
Rich
