Cheaper servicing, to VW spec

Post by lee »

Have a look at this link & let me know what you think. They claim your warranty will not be affected?

Can anyone see a problem with this? :?

You can take your VW to any independent garage for servicing, during your warranty period, and as long as they use genuine VW parts and procedures, your warranty will not be affected

Thanks iambu.

Will anyone be doing this, or will you be sticking with the main dealer?

I do not own a Roc yet, so can't comment. However I have been following VAG cars for a while now and can say that a lot of people use independent garages for servicing, but the people who care for their cars use VAG car specialists, who specialise in VW / Audi / Seat...

I can't think of any names of good companies off the top of my head, but if you let people know on here where in the UK you live, I'm sure some people will recommend some places. To be honest, the link you posted looks like it is a generic 'suits all' place, I would say that they probably wouldn't do as good a job on your Roc compared to a VAG specialist garage.

Thanks again iAmbu

I'm from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, so if anyone can recommended someone to take loving care of my Roc when it needs servicing, then let me know.
I've used my local VW dealer for my last two VW's, but would like to look at others, especially if they do the same job for less. :D
