So contacted my favourable dealer Alex Lawrie who sorted my full cambelt kit and waterpump/coolant for not much more than an independant.

So, I thought, service due in approx 3 months and I thought Id check with them the cost. My jaw nearly hit the floor,

Flurking Shnit !!!!!thats Well Cheap!!!!!!! Whats The Name E.tc Of The Specialist I'm Going There When Mine's Up For A Service

Ill find the number and post it later. Theyre in Crosby, Liverpool.

Interested as well. Although I've never had a problem with Alex Lawrie. Services for me are around £160 for a normal service. Did they say what was included in the service?

Only asking as I was looking at a octy they had which the sales guy said they just spent £500 on a service which included the cambelt, front brakes and front tyres.

Just the usual stuff - oil/filter/plugs and a few filters. Quoted 2.5 hours work - I dont think so!

Ah that would be the Octavia they have on there web site.

Would be interested to know the details of the VAG independent dealer in Crosby. Would it be the one near "Willow Tyres" I live nearly next door to them?
