Looking for a good reliable VW technician to service my Polo, any recomendations please?

I always used Elite Garage Services for my Polo. The chief mechanic spent years at VAG before going independent and they operate a very friendly and reasonably-priced operation not far from the hospital & Quantel, on Kiln Road.

I second that recommendation, had our VW car(s) done there for a few years now and always been more than happy with them. |

If there's anything VW you need doing either I can do it or my friend Jason would be able to. He's a full time mechanic and I'm just a pretty face.
There's nothing special about most VW's that need any "specialists". Most garages are about as clueless as the next. -------------------- :p

Very uptogether repair shop though. You don't say what sort of Polo you run but if it's still under warranty, you may need to use a Vat registered independent but as Motormad says, there is nothing out of the ordinary for any VW although if you are on longlife service, the service indicator may need a specialist reader to reset for 20k service. |

It's a 2012 Polo D, looking for a independant garage to look after it, don't want to pay main stealer prices. |
