Just bought a golf R32 at a very attractive price as it needs a full (and I mean full service) - going to see what VW want tomorrow and whether it's worth maintaining the full history.

Seller claims the DSG was serviced 10k miles ago and a curiously placed VW stamp seems to back this up but I want it done for my own piece of mind, so need a garage that can be trusted to do it properly.

Other than that I need Haldex, Brake Fluid, possibly spark plugs though they were done 16k/3 years ago at 31k miles. May as well have aircon regassed and the power steering fluid changed while i'm at it.

Anyone that can recommend someone?

There is a VW specialist on Sully Moors Road, in between Sully & Barry. Very good service from them whenever I use them for work vehicles and heard good reports from friends.

Another one for NG Motors here. I've used them on a number of occasions and found their services very good.

Definitely Euro Performance. The owner has had plenty of top end VWs and Audis. Currently has an RS4 saloon.

He's got all the right credentials and all the right toys to go over the entire car. Also does remaps. smile

Forgot to take my phone out with me today (11 hours in work, doh!) so i'll try him tomorrow. Quote of nearly £700 from the stealers (despite their fixed price servicing adding up to £569 for what I needed done)..

Another for NG. I have used them for two cars and found them really good and nice blokes as well - they know their stuff on the older models, not so sure about the newer models though.

Not used the others, so can't comment on them.
