VAG Independant Chester/Cheshire/Flintshire
« on: January 14, 2014, 07:30:21 pm »
Gents,

Having recently moved to Flintshire, North Wales I'm looking for a decent VAG Independent garage to do me a cambelt/waterpump change. Can anybody recommend anywhere in the Chester/Cheshire/Flintshire area that they have used and been happy with the service and costs involved? Thanks in advance :happy2:

 yep, thought of Votex mate and have spoken to them via email today. I've used them before and have been really happy with the service. they are actually 50 miles away which if I don't find anywhere else that's where I'll be going :happy2:

Awesome GTI in Irlam should be quite close for you. They Don't have a good rep with Mail order parts but they are great at servicing VAG group motors.

I've been there twice and couldn't fault the service. The fact they are always busy with high end Audi's (Rs4's, R8's etc) they are more than capable with your S3 and are well thought of in the North West. Much cheaper than main dealers too  :happy2:

O dear doesn't sound to good pal, having a few issues with my back too pal but they won't do anything with it until it affects the use of my arms.....something to look forward too, old age setting in :laugh:

Pictures of the new cave will be coming, but its full of building materials and stuff on one side at the minute, have a run over some time pal only 30 minutes from you  :happy2:

Back on topic, after speaking to Martin at Unit 20 today, booked in there for next week  :smiley: only 20 minutes away which was the only difference between them and Votex :happy2:
