I don't think they do but it's best to ask them. But at least they are priced right & a qualified mechanic works on your car.

Is this the good or bad kind of LOL?
bad-ish. I had a 1997 Golf Cabrio Mk3.5 before this and a 72 Superbug 20 years back. I'd class the Cabrio as needing a reasonably high amount of money thrown at it. In the end I decided it was cheaper to get rid of it than fix up what needed fixing. None-the-less, I gave the Skoda a try because it was a good drive. If I'd wanted trouble free motoring, a Camry was similar money.......

My wife isn't a car person but even she says that driving a VW is "different" to driving other cars.
