VW Independent in the North West

**8Z0** · 25-07-2007,09:43 PM

Hi,

Can anybody recommend a water-cooled Volkswagen independent in the North West?

I'm specifically looking for someone to service a relative's 2002 Volkswagen Polo 1.4 petrol (9N). The vehicle is located in Preston, but they're prepared to travel anywhere within a 20 mile or so radius. The car's warranty has long since expired and for routine servicing it's not necessarily cost-effective to use a franchised Volkswagen dealership.

Cheers, 8Z0

I know of one in Walkden.

However I have personally not used them yet.

I`ve also used Tameside VW, based in Ashton Under Lyne...

Bloke really knows his stuff and is not a rip off merchant.

I will go there for anything I cant do.
Honestly feel that the car is treated better than a main dealer there!

Thanks Mark for the info.

Does anyone know of anything any closer to Preston? Both Ashton-under-Lyne and Walkden are a fair distance away.

Cheers, 8Z0

I use VolkService at Blackpool for my Seat servicing. (Does VolkService class as "independent"? They seem to be straightforward to deal with.) They obviously have good experience of all the VW range. It sounds like you are probably just after a routine service, anyway.
