Major Service coming up - London / Essex
« on: April 30, 2014, 04:48:11 pm »
Hi Guys,

I have a Golf GTi MK5 that I am due to collect early next week. I was wondering whether you guys could recommend me a dealer / garage who would be good to deal with for a major service and a Cambelt + Water pump change?

The car is an 06, and is on 63000 miles. The last belt change was in 2010 at approximately 32000 miles.

Thanks in advance,
Faz

Just on the border of East London and Essex. Ilford to be precise. I don't mind travelling a reasonable distance for quality workmanship and good prices. I've just given cambeltking a ring, and will wait for them to give me a price.

Thanks for your help so far :)

Cambelt King have got back to me this morning. They have quoted a price of over £400!

I am thinking of going with AMD tuning in Thurrock. they are offering the service at £312 which is much more reasonable.

What are they like to deal with?

Cheers,

The guys at AMD are pretty helpful and pleasant.

They don't have a seating area so be prepared to but if you walk across to Lakeside until your car is ready for collection you can have a great coffee as it's only a 5 minute walk.
