Don't fancy paying 2 million for a 20000 service on my 3 year old Golf.
I can't find a good garage listed here or anywhere; can anyone help with a recommendation for a good independent in Reading or failing that W4 area ?
Cheers in advance !

my general strategy would be to have a weekend break somewhere pretty and northern, and book it into a local garage on the saturday
price difference between reading and north east or scotland for instance will more than pay for a B & B
if its a normal service and everything goes to plan its not a bad approach

Don't see that working.
Firstly the cost in going up north would be 20p a mile roughly; so a 200 mile round trip is £40.
Secondly what if there is something that needs attention ? I'd have to abandon the car or camp out in the frozen hinterlands of yorkshire. Neither appeals.
Apart from that it's a sound idea :)
Marlow Cars = Windrush VW ?

>>Marlow Cars = Windrush VW ?
No, they are a local independent; they advertise their car sales as Marlow Cars or Marlow Performance Cars but they are also known as Harpers Motors. Absolutely nothing to do with Windrush at all (Maidenhead or Slough). No chrome and glass showrooms and they never once offered me a coffee but they always did excellent work on my Passat and charged fairly.

Not Reading but quite close. I can recommend an excellent independent in Maidenhead less than 5 minutes from the station (on the Reading to London line). Marlow Performance Cars 01628 682100. They did an excellent job every time on my Passat TDi and are refreshingly honest, fair priced and straight forward to deal with compared to VW main dealers. I've posted this through to the recommended garages link some time ago but they haven't made it on to the pages yet.
