Agree, some some good independent VW guys out there., but dont just go to any service shop
Check do they have proper diagnostic equipment. & know what they are doing, with reliable employees
Mine also does race cars, so I feel they are pretty competent.
May not be the cheapest, but still cheaper than dealer, but far better job is done.
Re dealer service, is often done with 457 type employees, underpaid & inexperienced service no matter what they say.
Seen some dodgy stuff, though some dealers might be Ok though.
