Been looking myself lately.

I have used one place for years but have now decided to move on from them.
One place in Stockport has lots of good reviews.
I have a place near by but just don't fancy them for some inexplicable reason.

Would you class Staffordshire as NW?

If so, then I can recommend PSI Tuning is Newcastle Under Lyme.

Might be worth indicting location more precisely - there’s a couple of good places on The Wirral but not much use for people in Manchester.

Going rate now for bigger place. Awesome start at the same price just for oil and oil filter.

Try Wigan Tuning. I used to take all my VW/Audis there. Still take the wife's MK5 Golf there every year for a service and MOT.

I've used one on the Wirral a few times but there's not a lot of difference in their prices, which are always slightly uncertain, and the dealer. I hate the dealer but on the cambelt change just done I decided to go with them just for the peace-of-mind especially as I've kept the VW extended warranty running. It's also a faff that the indie doesn't have courtesy cars.

I use a specialist for my Merc and they too seem to pitch their prices so they're just slightly cheaper than the dealer.

They have changed so much in my opinion. Totally forgotten their roots.

If you are near Bolton, try Bloor Motor Works in Horwich. I had my Cupra plus my partners A3 serviced there. Decent amount cheaper than the main dealer, and the service is quick - they don't keep your car all day.

Courtesy cars are little Kia's but ok, but if you want to wait, Horwich isn't great for 2 hours!

Services still get logged on the VAG system.

Do they supply dancing girls to keep you entertained whilst the oil drains and offer the new oil to the car on a bed of ostrich feathers
National tyres. £50. Valvoline oil. Just put a genuine filter on or insist on Mann.
