Aren't VW dealers supposed to price match local specialists using genuine OEM parts?

I would have thought so but that would involve getting a nice independant to write it all down in a quote then taking it to VW? Seems a bit harsh on the independant and so might as well give the business to the independant anyway.

Who would do the better job? thats probably depends on the dealer and the independant garage. Its all mechanical parts that need replacing. If only they didnt build cars out of chocolate these days and built them to last.
