Hey guys. I've recently bought a used Octavia '56 plate. You can read all about it (if you want ) here:

My first post on BRISKODA.net

Anyway, I've been put off by some of the reviews of Halfords for having some repairs and the service done. Can anyone recommend a good independent garage in the Birmingham area to have some small problems fixed with the car, new brake pads all round, and a good service? I don't mind travelling a bit further, but don't want to end up to far up/down the country.

Many thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Thease people are very professional and have a good reputation in the area http://www.harbornegarage.boschauto.co.uk/Harborne-Garage/Home

Anyone know a good garage now? Or shall I go to a VAG specialist? What are the differences between them?

I've used Central Audi & VW (near Erdington) a few times, they seem to be fairly reliable and good value compared to some other VAG specialists in the area.

Cant decide whether to go to a German car garage or a VAG specialist. Can you guide me the advantages and disadvantages of both that will help me with my decision.

 

Or are there any backed up by good customer reviews online?
