best place and price in the northeast to get a cambelt done?

[skard]

Always used Volksparts (including a cambelt & WP) until they did the turbo on my PD140 a few years ago - went in first thing but they started it at 1530 when I rang to check up, rushed the job and left loads of paper towels between the engine and the plastic tray.

Otherwise they have been good but that put me off, seeing as it's a bit of a trek for me to get there as it is.

Ron Turnbull in Middlesbrough is brilliant, always had superb service from him on all my VW's.  Can't remember the exact price but it was a hell of a lot cheaper than the dealers.  Can't recommend him highly enough.

It took them 3 attempts to get my brothers cams aligned after they did his cambelt on his mk4 golf. We both used to use them for all the work on our cars until then. it was drawn out over a few months aswell, must admit they got it right in the end.
My mate got his mk4 done at Pulmans Seat in sunderland, they did his wrong twice, in the end he went to pulmans VW, who got it right, and he had to pay out the again in the end to get it done right.

it sounds like its a tricky job, and you`ve got to find a good mechanic to do this job...

Its just the case they need to use the cam locking tool, which either they dont bother using, or havent got. Guess its laziness more than anything
