    Volkspower

    Hi everyone, I love this forum and have been lurking on it for some time. Recently I took my 2008 polo to Volkspower in Burwood. Being VW specialists I thought they would do a good job. It was only for a minor service. Half way through the day I get a phone call telling me the job was done. I'm happy, except then the guy offers to change my wiper blades. I ask "How much?" and he says "One hundred dollars"... WTF! Rather diplomatically I tell him I'll do it myself. I thought I would share this experience with you and see what others have thought of them. Can anybody else recommend a VW specialist in Melbourne? Thanks.

    You can pick up the OEM wiper blades online for about $40-$50.

    I highly recommend Audvolks in Clayton. Very knowledgeable, always around to help, VERY well priced. Mind you, I drive 1.5 hours to get my car serviced there.

    Very funny. Cost of wipers blades is always how I judge a good vw specialist.

    +1 for Audvolks, send the audi and sisters Mk IV Golf there. Awesome service at very reasonable prices.
