Hey lads, thanks for the good words!

Yea we always make it a priority to do the right thing by our customers.
Joe is a good honest operator who I admire. I wouldn't work for him otherwise. He does ALL the mechanical work and I do most of the admin stuff. He's been fixing/racing VW's and Audi's all his life.
As for the other workshops, we can't really comment. But we have seen some pretty appalling work and overcharging by a few places around.

I think as long as the repairer uses OE parts and follows the right procedures stated in the VW Service Manual, your VW warranty should still be upheld. As for dealership warranties, sometimes it's a bit different but you might be able to get around it.

We don't usually wash cars anymore unless it's ok with the owner (even though I used to be the head detailer for new cars at Audi, and know what I'm doing).
Our Cordoba loan car isn't fancy but it is free and we leave it up to the good will of the customer to decide if they want to top up the fuel they use.

Mods, feel free to delete this post if it's breaking any rules!

Cheers,
Wade

Nice post Wade....good work.

Can you ask Joe if he has followed up with SG Fleet (Leasing) to see if GOLFWAGEN can be recognised as an authorised repair centre for SG Customers? He did say he would find out...and the .:R needs some loving soon.

Maybe this is the wrong place, but don't want to start a new thread as it's probably been discussed before (but I can't find it!).

Is the 7500km service needed? OPVW put a service sticker on my car for 7500km... but when I bought it they said the first one was at 15000km

Is this a little confusing or am I just a bit dumb... or both?

[geoff_gti]

It will just be an oil change, service won't be due until 12mths or 15000km
