Need some work done on my 2000 Octy 1.9D including a wheel bearing and discs/pads any suggestions for where to go in the fleet, farnborough, aldershot area?

A little further down and into Portsmouth is JKM, very good service and well respected.

Its a thought, though portsmouth is a little far to drop it in on my way to work!

I would imagine that if you phoned and spoke to Kate they'd do it while you wait or something.

I travel from Gloucester for my servicing @ JKM (although I usually overnight at the folks house on Hayling )

Winchester Motor Co, they used to be Garland Autos, genuine Skoda dealer with dealerships in Aldershot and Winchester.

They still are called Garlands in Aldershot!?

I do know of a very good garage in Fleet, although they specialise in Honda's, they can do anything I guess. Although I'm not sure if they are open for business at the moment as all the garages around them burnt down recently...

I'll take anything close to fleet i guess, the grinding noise from the bearing is just too worrying and i need to drive to Devon on Wednesday :eek: Though i do know a guy down there who can fix it, but not if the whole thing seizes up on the A303.

Hi Bought my second hand Octy VRS from Garlands last year, very good car, no probs with it.

They even gave me a £20 petrol voucher (didnt ask for it).

Was hunting around for something else but just saw this post.

The place is TGM Sports (Website) run by a gentleman called Tom Gannon.

Yes there was a recent fire although it wasn't there unit, next door company. It did affect them for a while but last time I spoke they were up and running again.

Certaintly no complaints from me and my Jabba ARB

Basingstoke has a VAG specialist, SJB 01256 477411 they are on Wade Rd. I use them for most things now.

Yup, SJB Autotech, that's where I'll be taking mine as soon as I can't blag free parts from Garlands, who, by the way, I've not been all that impressed with on the after sales/servicing side of things.

I used to take my Integra to Tom at TGM cos they are teh **** when it comes to 'Tegs!
