Independant SE Birmingham area

Good day everyone.

I am moving to Leamington Spa this weekend and need to get some work done on my Passat very soon... Leaking rad and cambelt due for a change. Can anyone recommend a good independant to do the work. Preferably a VAG specialist.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. Will give them a call.

Have seen T & H Motors in Leamington Spa are VW audi specialists, has anyone out there in forum land had any experience with this garage? Just that this is just down the road from me and very convienient!

Thanks.

Had my cambelt and water pump changed at United repairs in Leamington Spa, the garage was onbly small, but the serivce I had was good and the guys seemed very helpful! Cost me £200 all in which is alot better than the £380 that the ******* wanted!

Just so you know, there are 2 Volkswagen specialists that I sent my Passat to when I used to live in Coventry. I now live in Birmingham and use Frontier Volksworks.

S&T VW
Hanford Close Ind Est, Stoney Stanton Rd, Coventry - 02476 637447
Pros: Really nice guys, tidy garage, good rates.
Cons: No courtesy car, don't follow VW servicing levels (they only have an oil service and full service, not the 10k, 20k and 40k.)

Just VW Audi
10 Chequer St., Bulkington, Coventry CV12 9NH - 02476 491817
Pros: Good guys, similar service levels to VW, good choice of parts, courtesy cars available. Complimentary mini valet when your car is serviced. Inspection reports are good, all faults that they picked up were actually true (I checked with another garage the first time I went there) - too many garages these day make them up!
Cons: Don't ever use their pickup service. Take the car there yourself and pick it up.

Thanks for that info.

In the end I did all the servicing and rad change by myself, as I could not justify paying out what the garages wanted for such simple jobs. At least I know that the fluids have deffinately been changed now.. And the rad!

Not always do I have enough time to do all these myself tho, so thanks again for the info.

Tom.

Pete Scale and Heathcote garage are two of the most professional I have come across in Leamington.

Aren't B.R.Motorsport in Leamington ? I'm sure I remember them from the late 80's, early 90's as being one of the big tuning boys for VAG's.....
