VW Specialist/Mechanic in Berkshire!!??
« on: May 18, 2011, 09:30:12 am »
Hi

Anyone know of a good VW specialist or mechanic in Berkshire?  I'm in Windsor and have 3 VW's now so really need to find someone who knows what they're doing and reasonable.  Took my girlfriends Polo GTi to have an engine fault cleared and a new HT lead the other day... £280!!!!!  Please help if you know of anyone!!??

Cheers Guys!!

Thanks mate, I guess Poole isn't too far.  I need someone to do the obvious servicing etc on my Mk5 Dsg and my girlfriends Polo GTi 6n2 but I also have her old Polo 1.4 16v 6n which is in need of sorting so I can sell it.  I just wondered if there was someone on my doorstep that I didn't know about?

Fair play mate. I used to have a Polo GTI 6n2 (still do, just dont drive it) and amusingly I service most Polo GTIs in and around Poole/Bournemouth/Southampton

Let me know in any case if you need anything done

Browns in Thame, 30 miles from you and BDM in Milton Keynes are also superb!

Very impressed with Sean at VAG Technik in Henley: http://www.henley-vw.co.uk/
See my previous post for my (positive) experience of getting a re-map done there.

I use RD Garage Services in Chertsey which won't be too far at all for you. The guy that owns/runs it is a fully qualified VW technician and is very reasonable, has matched or bettered all quotes I have given him and would recommend him to anyone, especially if you have a VW due to his experience. To steal the spiel from his website:

RD Garage Services was created by Richard Duncan, a fully qualified Volkswagen technician. With several years experience in both motorsport and the VW Audi Group, he has acquired a broad knowledge and experience of all car types. He built and maintained Subaru Group N and World Rally Cars; one of which won the Irish Tarmac Championship twice. He was also a trained Luxury Specialist at VW, which has given him a extensive knowledge of VW Audi Group vehicles.

Highly recommended!  :happy2:

Just looked at their website... Seem very good.  £40 per hour labour is pretty damn good too!!  Thanks
