Hi folks
Our first service is coming up and I wanted to see people opinions on using the dealer otherwise a specialised vw mechanic?

Where are you based (city and state). If you are remote or in a smaller city then you may not have any/much in the way of alternative mechanics other than the dealer.

The dealer will always cost more though - and in my experience, they are not as good as a specialist independent Euro car mechanic.

+1 the dealers usually just have a bunch of apprentices doing all the work (that's how it is here in Melb anyway). They don't need to be good because they know all the people who have no clue go there anyway

But anyway if it's just for a service it doesn't make a difference. And going with the dealer for the first 5 years or so might help with any warranty claims down the track etc. After 5 years go independent VW shop all the way

In ACT we all use Canberra VW Centre from the first day of purchase.
No impact on warranty and a far more thorough level of service.

Quite a professional set up there but don't look at the price of their gimmicky carbon fibre add-ons unless you have a chair handy!
