Re: Good garage guide... Reply #2 – June 07, 2020, 07:12:47 PM Can fully recommend Luccombe Garage in Redland Bristol.An independent, but up until about 1976 used to be a franchised small VW dealer.Two working proprietors now in their early 60s but have been in the trade all their lives - and know VWs from the 1960s onwards like the back of their hands.Have used them since 1986, as did my late father from about 1970 up until 2015.Richard 2 Likes

Re: Good garage guide... Reply #4 – June 16, 2020, 05:47:38 PM Chapman Auto Service in St Albans have been very impressive in my experience. Independent VW specialist. Also recommend Cambridge Road garage in Cosby, Leicester. Not a VW specialist but one (or more) of the mechanics is a fan, they know their way around older VWs. Honest and reasonably priced. 1 Likes

Re: Good garage guide... Reply #9 – November 18, 2024, 08:23:50 PM Please tell me there is a recommendation for a Garage in Edinburgh?!Just driven 300+ miles in the MK2 (as the modern car had a cracked alloy) and about halfway here the rear left bearing started grumbling. By the time we arrived it was at full shout.. Need to find a garage before Thursday to either replace the bearing or do something to make sure it doesn't seize on the way homeAny and all suggestions welcome
