Service

[JoeDarKa]

My car has just pinged up it needs a service in the next 700miles. I have used Smith Knight Fay in Bolton for my last one but would like other opinions on where you take yours? Ideally within the northwest! Think i may get my cambelt and waterpump done too as its 4years old soon! Expensive month!

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.aspx

He 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

Like the sound of that sort of garage! I have a distrust of large dealers due an incident years ago and a recommendation carries a lot of weight! Cheers Rich

Had a look at Awesome in Eccles?

Yes looked but they look as expensive as a main dealer! Not that I want a cheap job!
