anyone used IVC VAG specialist in Leeds?
Discussion
G S Motors in Meanwood supposedly have a good reputation as a VW specialist according to some posts on uk-mkivs, however I have not used them myself.
G S Motors
26A Monk Bridge Road, Leeds, LS6 4ER
If you're coming from the Arndale they are on the right hand side as the road curves left down into the dip where Meanwood beck is.
If you decide to use them, let me know if they're any good please!

Went to IVC once, a few days after I bought a Lupo GTI
Managed to overfill my engine oil by about 1/3.
When I took it back they just laughed it off, I wasnt impressed by their service or mechanical ability
Similar outcome when they serviced my Touareg and ended up doing both front wheel bearings as they did the wrong one to start with. It will be going somewhere else next time.Managed to overfill my engine oil by about 1/3.

I would strongly advise anyone to check G S Motors out with trading standards before using them. G S Motors

Oh? And why is that then? I have just looked and there is nothing to be found.
You need to dig deeper.I had a very poor experience with GS Motors. They carried out work on my car that was not requested, althorised or needed. They also charged more than quoted for the work I had asked them to do.
A friend (who live very close to GS Motors) took her VW there for an MOT. This resulted in legal action and trading standards notification.
Mod edit: I have amended the details slightly so as not to be too specific.

OK, as I've said I've not used them personally, but they do have several recommendations from Golf owners on uk-mkivs hence why I passed that on here (in good faith). I will bow to your superior knowledge of them. I had a very poor experience with GS Motors. They carried out work on my car that was not requested, althorised or needed. They also charged more than quoted for the work I had asked them to do.

A friend (who live very close to GS Motors) took her VW there for an MOT. Due to GS Motors dishonestly regarding this, the owner of GS Motors was arrested, lawyers engaged and trading standards were notified. The trading standards representative mentioned that they had received a number of complaints about GS Motors.
I'll second this. They used to be great but changed ownership about 4(?) years ago and went down the pan. Took my golf there for its MOT and they tried to charge me for work they hadn't even done.

Personally, I found IVC a bit pricey for an indie and you there's plenty of other genuinely great VAG specialists in the area - Here's a couple I've used and they've been ace:
Chris Umpleby
31-34 Barnes Road Bradford BD8 9TG
01274 547334
Apparently his dad/grandad had the first ever VW franchise in Yorkshire.
Lynn Motors (off Forster Square, Bradford)
01274 735 544
The owner is a ex-Audi works mechanic with a good line in Michelle Mouton anecdotes. Top fella.
Good luck.
