Title: A Good Garage In Manchester
Post by: Eddie07 on February 13, 2014, 01:15:40 pm: I'd like some work doing to the engine and a full/dsg service.

Does anyone know of any garages that they can recommend other than Awesome and Prosport?

I'm not discounting them, just wondered if there is anywhere else people have heard good things from or good personal experience from.

Thanks in advance

http://car-service-manchester.co.uk/ (http://car-service-manchester.co.uk/)

They are a VAG and Porsche specialist.

Very reasonably priced and received an excellent level of service. Give them a call and speak to the boss Mick - mention you spoke to Richard with the Ed30. I was literally in for an oil change on Tues.

Hope this helps

Rich

EDIT: I asked for a quote for DSG service and he quoted £110

They were very thorough when servicing mine :happy2:

Post by: Markyed30 on February 17, 2014, 10:26:36 pm: I retract the last statement as I can't find the post and not fair to point finger and can't remember the garage in question, I remember a year or 2 ago someone had there car stolen without keys and had car in at a garage somewhere recently before and it was all a bit fishy
