He's a busy guy. Call him in the morning. You WILL NOT get better service. I used to drive to AKS tuning from Stoke-on-Trent. He was more than worth the trip out

Edit: I think he's closed until after the new year

Alex at AKS all day long, but he is closed until new year but you may be able to get hold of him.

I've not used AMD at lakeside (5mins from me) but I have heard mixed reviews from them. Some people love them, some have had poor customer service. I've not heard anything negative about their workmanship though, only that their dyno can be generous

if you cant get Alex I use VGS (VW Indy Specialist) in South London (New Addlestone way) who are absolutely superb. Ask for Peter (GTI enthusiast who drives a stage 3 mk5 DSG). 01959 575214.

Hopefully not too late for you, but I use Russell Automotive Centre in Kingsbury, NW London. They are an indy VAG specialist, and I have been very impressed with their service so far.

if you cant get Alex I use VGS (VW Indy Specialist) in South London (New Addlestone way) who are absolutely superb. Ask for Peter (GTI enthusiast who drives a stage 3 mk5 DSG). 01959 575214.

+1.  In fact, +100.  Superb workmanship and service.  Even a card at Christmas!

But they're between Keston and New Addington (not New Addlestone).

correct! my bad, my mind was clearly somewhere else!

I'm glad someone else has used VGS, i cant speak highly enough.  I even picked my car up at 11pm once as something took longer than expected, Peter wouldnt leave until it was done even though I told him to relax and that i didnt need the car that weekend.  There was no extra charge for his extra time either.  Great Great service.

Perfect i waited there for the time it took to do the job but yeah i think i will definitly use them again, the guy who was at the front desk was actually the Director (Steve Russell) of the company so it was even better service.  Job Done now gonna pack away and heading to Germany tomorrow night

+ Referring you to them will get me a Tenner off ma next service  :happy2:
