Well I suppose it's only once a year my local vw garage wants £400 for major service plus I'm due brake fluid change which is £60 I find bit expensive espically when the lady quoted me £300 first and when she realised it was a gti wacked another £100 on!! Couldn't explain the reason for this either said maybe they use different oil haha. Benefits of owning a gti a fellas

I would chose an independent specialist over dealership, personally.

You don't have to go too far from Welling to get it serviced...

VGS are fairly local

or if you can put up with the hassle of the Dartford crossing...

I normally go to the stealers just for less hassle when I need to sell it on.

But I would recommend Alex @ AKS based up Bedford wasy.

Alternatively there is Rueben @ Tuning Werkes in Croydon  :surprised: but i've never used him even though he is 19 minutes down the road  :laugh:
