Having heard some good things about these guys, I got my car serviced by APS

Their site is: APS - VW Audi vehicle servicing and performance tuning

Due to a recent(ish) failure of a thermostat, in turn causing allsorts of nasty problems (head gasket, head slightly damaged, camshaft + bearings replaced) it is still off the road right now :(

However the team at APS has kept me updated along the way. Daily calls from me must be wearing them down a bit :P but so far they're still answering

We decided it would be best to keep the car over the Christmas break to make sure the coolant problem is sorted.

As the guys are fitting my stage 2 hybrid, metal impeller waterpump, new camshaft & bearings, baffled sump, 4 new valves, skimmed head, head gasket etc, wrapping the exhaust & all intercooler pipes, as well as fitting a short shifter, this is how it worked out

The level of honesty and pride in the work of the guys in the garage as well as in the office was very refreshing, and I will definitely recommend them

As a bit of promotion I am driving their courtesy car throughout the Christmas period (plus I needed a car ).

Once they've run it for 50-100 miles early next year I should be getting my car back in a properly working state again

Good to hear mate, Andy is a good friend of mine...Known him years and my company provides him with the odd few tyres...
