Local garage v Main dealer - Stu
The consensus with all regulars is to avoid (understatement) main dealers and head for a good local specialist if possible.

I'm looking for a garage in the Epsom area to look after my Audi 80 (M, Quattro), however, the entry on the HJ 'recommended garages' page only lists 'Drift Bridge Garage' which is a VAG main dealer. (confused).

Can anyone recommend an alternative in this area?

There must be good main dealers; perhaps this is one.

As I've said before, there were probably good Nazis as well. ;-)

Perhaps Vin is right though.

I was joking. There must be some good uns. Especially for simple jobs that they do frequently...

Mr D Lacey would be a good example I expect...
