So i have been searching for a reliable independent VW garage as i have never had a VAG car before so don't of any.
I've been recommended two garages so far who have quoted me on a 2008 24,00miles Cupra K1 :

Midlands VW (Cannock)- Full service including brake fluid change £225
Cambelt change including water pump £300

VW rescue- Full service including brake fluid change £275
Cambelt change including water pump £350

A straight £100 difference but will have to travel twice the distance.

These prices fair? Any other garages worth getting a quote off?

Midland VW I cannot rate enough top guys they dont rip you off only positive experiences, I have never used VW rescue so cannot add anything + or - there for you.

Midland vw is 10 mins away lol you live in wolves plus they have a waiting room with free wifi.

manhota · 19-06-2012, 17:28

prices are fare, I take it thats for a major service.

**Brummy** · 19-06-2012, 18:57

Midland VW do get very good reviews on their work tbh. Know a fair few people that swear by them

*Slimy* · 19-06-2012, 19:17

Midland VW get my vote too. I went to them about a groaning noise that I thought was bearings, they simply refused to strip it down and told me to replace the tyres. Lo and behold, that fixed the problem!!

Any other company would have given me four new bearings and I'd have been no better off.

Cheers for the recommendation, the guy on the phone did seem genuine as i asked if the parts were genuine and he said their isn't really anything that's really genuine but they will use quality parts.

I live in the middle of wolves mate so Cannock is 13miles away from me on the M6. But don't mind traveling their if their that good, as only the best wil do for my K1

Yea its a major service as i don't really know what the previous keeper really did change on it when he had it the service.

Which way do you go? I can't imagine the M6 being the right direction to get to Midland VW. I'd go up the Cannock road, turn right as you get to the toll road junction, up to the A5 then along the A5 until you get to Midland VW?

Oh sorry bud, i would go up the black country route onto a34 and down the Wolverhampton road.

*Slimy* · 21-06-2012, 18:54

Ah ok, still a bit of a right angle rather than going direct but it makes more sense than the M6!

I would go through wolvo get onto the cannock road and follow it all the way to cannock, at the shell garage island turn right onto the a5 and follow it towards brownhills, midland vw is just off the a5 norton canes

*Slimy* · 21-06-2012, 19:58

Coming from Bilston I think you're right with the black country route/A34, I thought you were more central to Wolves.

You could turn off the A34 and head through Pelsall, then north on the B4154 would get you straight there?

Top Dog · 21-06-2012, 23:36

Thanks guy, its still like 13 miles from me buh it dnt realli matter, got it booked in now.

Evo anychance u cud give me a hand sorting the engine cover out on my k1 over the weekend or somthing when your free. Seen ur thread on it and it looked spot on, ive bought a spare cover just need to cut it into place.

Top Dog · 21-06-2012, 23:36

Oh yeh....posted to reflect a good little buisness.....and sometimes good little buisness' are life savers

Ibiza_Dave · 29-06-2012, 21:53

I shall not be using vw rescue again, had a service there a few months ago, got told my wheel bearing was shot and my front rear wishbone bushes had gave up, took it to my brother in law and it turned out my tyres had gone into 50p shapes which explained the noise and there was absolutely nothing wrong with my bushes

Dawesy90 · 21-07-2012, 16:19

Ive been looking also for local VAG garages as my Ibiza is due a major in a couple of k miles! I might look into this midlands vw as its only a short trip down the A5

itsmeagain · 18-08-2012, 11:14

Midland VW are a very good place to take your car. I have took various cars there and always received good service.
Plus there's a cafe a few doors away plus they have wifi to get you entertained whilst u wait.
