Hi all,Im just wondering who you guys favour for the repairs to your cars as I had quite a nice suprise today,im wanting the cambelt done on my a6 4.2 and decided to avoid the dealers to try and save a few quid (big mistake) called a few so called audi/vw specialists in my area and was getting quoted between 400/500 for the job,but not been convinced they new what they were on about I came accross a guy from a garage that I had known about for years and allways heard good things about them so I gave them a call.Right from the start the guy was on the ball with what needed to be done and also suggested a water pump swop to save any extra expense in the future got quoted £750 for the job all done and I was happy in the knowledge that the guy new his stuff so booked it in,a few hours later a mate came to were I work (who used to be a car dealer)and we got on to my new purchase of the audi that I had called him to get advice on,told him about the cam belt job I was about to get done and he sugested the main dealer,once again I took his advice and called them and got quoted £530 for the belt and a further £150 for the water pump coolant and labour giving a total of £680,£70 quid cheeper than the so called specialist how can a dealer be cheaper,moral to this story is dont right off the dealer or you may like me end up out of pocket like I nearley did

cheers matt
