Title: Servicing your modded GTI!!!
Post by: VW Racing on May 21, 2009, 04:18:17 pm
Hi People

Just thought id let you know, we are now able to offer servicing on your modded golf.
We are an official repairer with a dealer number so your warranty will not be affected, we can offer something the main dealers cannot and that is the ability to check all the modded parts fitted to your car aswell.
as we have heard plenty of stories of main dealers complaining about different suspension, brakes etc.

I am currently working out a Menu type pricing for the service shedules but as you can appreciate many of you like to change plugs early or change oil more often  so best bet is to drop me a mail or message or give me a call and i will sort a price out for you.
I hope this maybe of use to some people as i know most of you are scattered around the four corners of GB. :smiley:
Oh and you get a nice Volkswagen Racing stamp in your service book  :grin:

Cheers

Mark

Well, I live 170 miles away and was at VWR yesterday, as was Mat. You all know how happy I have been with my local VW dealer but I'll be going to VWR for all my servicing from now on.

Mark and his crew go the extra mile and check far more than normal VW dealers and their mechanics do, even the better ones. Plus they have far more knowledge and particularly about modded cars.

Just don't let this guy Simon near your car though! : -

....And it goes without saying that you'll have to do some extensive thrashing road testing of such cars as RS4's and R8's before you can release them back to their owners.

My father lives in Northampton and so I'm near MK quite often.. I'll be bringing my modded Ed30 to you from now on.  I've already had it serviced three times now in 16 months  :surprised:  I do feel a bit guilty as my local garage Wolsey Ipswich are so good and have been very good with me, but hey, I've got three other Golfs they can attend to anyway  :innocent:
