Surrey/Guildford VW Indies?

[NDA]

A friend's son needs his VW Polo looked at - nothing major... alignment, brakes.

Ideally a decent and honest indy would be perfect - but not my area of expertise. Some recommendations would be very welcome.

Many thanks.

They've looked after my Audis for many years, and are my go-to for MOTs for all of my cars.

They have good experience of VWs, take a pragmatic approach to proper engineering fixes, are friendly and are reasonably priced.

Just don't expect swanky coffee (or indeed any coffee) and marble-floored waiting rooms.

Sounds good - thanks....

What these guys don't know about VAG products isn't worth knowing

Yep, been using them for the last couple of years for my TTS. Not saving much money vs Audi, but feel like they are doing more work for the cost and know their stuff.

Another vote for The Phirm.

Have used them for two years. That reminds me - I need to book my car for a service!

Highly recommend the Phirm as well - looked after mine for the last 3 years

Not sure he needs an Indy for these?

For alignment go to the nearest decent indie tyre place that has a Hunter type setup.
For brakes, any decent local garage, or same as above. And ask they use oem parts.

Probably less traveling and cheaper. Leave the VAG indy for when he needs a service or some more advanced work doing that would benefit from lots of VAG based knowledge.

Having been to one garage who quoted £130 just to look (not do anything) he wanted some personal recommendations. Which is why I asked.




Thanks for the garages quoted above - much appreciated.

I would recommend SE Autoworks - Walnut Tree Close Guildford - 4 minutes walk from the station.

Phil and Jonny (owners) very knowledgeable and experienced on VAG - Jonny used to own a B5 RS4- have used them for coming on to 10 years, before which I used The Phirm (before they moved from their Thursley location down the A3),

Nothing against the The Phirm at all (I used to use them afterall), however if you are looking for someone in Guildford, may be worth speaking to Phil or Jonny at SE Autoworks as they are actually in Guildford, and right next to the station.

Excellent - thanks.

Thinking about a R8 in the future

Can anyone recommend AMD Technik in Woking?

They’re very local to me.

Yep using SE Autoworks now and also using them for an Audi too.... very good recommendation, they're great.

Thanks

I’ve used VAS Motion in Merrow quite a few times now, always been really professional and approachable
