Hello,
Can any kind soul recommend an independent VW work shop to get my cambelt and water pump changed. It is apparently due for change and my local dealer is quoting me £470 for the pleasure. I'll just like any recommendation in the London area most preferably south London. I have seen quite a few but will actually prefer one someone here has patronised.
Thanks All

^^^^ sounds about the right price from a main dealer. :laugh:
Not a million miles from you, have a look at JKM Pefromance in Portsmouth. A well respected independent specialised of the 2.0TFSI. You would still be saving money including travel cost plus the bonus being you will have an indie you can use for those future mods you may have planned. This is there servicing costs ect

VW Enterprise off Walworth Road.
Never used him myself but know a few people that have.
If you go to the Croydon Meet on Thursdays he would be the guy in the Yellow S3. (you really can't miss him).
Also Beadles in Bromley sometimes give discounts on that package.

Portmouth is quite a way away from London considering he asked for London specically.

^^^^ yes it is further than asked for, but that for the OP to decide surly unless you speak on their behalf in which case I apologise.

Thanks for that....Beadles refuse to give any discounts sadly

^^^^ no problem. The more info you garner the better IMO. :happy2:

Also Tuning Werkes in Croydon may possibly be able to assist. :happy2:

AMD in Lakeside did it for me in the last year for £299 including VAT, and that included the water pump - they will also give u a courtesy car to us while they're doing the job if u book it in advance.
Give them a call :happy2:

I highly recommend VGS:
http://vgsuk.com/ (http://vgsuk.com/)
If you're in their area of S London, you'll get free collection and delivery, too.

No address on the website, But google tells me they're in Croydon.
I see they do Revo software, Might go to them for my DSG remap.
I was going to use Russell Automotive center in north London, only 11 miles away

JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS TO EVERYONE. CLEARLY AM SPOILT FOR CHOICE. THIS WEBSITE CONSTANTLY AMAZE ME :smiley:
-
I would avoid beadles and tuningwekes mate. AMD are a good shout. :drinking:
-
Has anyone ever used GSF motorworks in Battersea?
Or has anyone come acrosss other independent garages worth recommending in South London, other than those already mentioned in this thread?
-
I've used http://www.audivwsc.co.uk/ - they provide a good service and they know what they are talking about.
-
Just gave Russell Automotive center in north London a call and they are coming up only £20 cheaper than a VW dealer! Also charging me more for the rear brake pads! Anyone else can recommend anyone around the North/ North West London area....?
Cheers
