Hi all PHers smile

I recently moved over to West Midlands, more specifically Tipton.
There are loads of garages round here however as practice shows, not every garage is good and honest.

I'm looking for anything you could recommend please?
I own VW Passat and am looking specifically for VAG car specialists.
Main reason is because I have to replace my cambelt in next few months so would like it to be done by somebody very good.

Thanks smile

Another vote for MidlandVW in Cannock - I let them look after my old Audi R8 if that gives you some confidence?

Thanks for suggestions guys.
It is bit too far but I will call them and check their pricing.
I don't mind travelling a bit if that means that my car will be very well looked after

Both my brother and I use MidlandVW to look after our cars. Very honest people to deal with. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Hmmm, Autotechnik even offers a pickup service so I can continue to work from home whilst they pick up the car and then return it smile

Sounds quite amazing. Thanks for the suggestion mate.
Let me know how your visit to them goes as well please.

Thanks.

I looked at them when I needed my TT serviced but decided against it after reading the google reviews, I went with Midland VW instead, the only downside is they’re miles away from home

I know this is quite an old thread that has been bumped. But Dub Shack in Stoke on Trent have a very good reputation. I know a few people who have used them. Just checked their google reviews and positive as well.
