Hi - new to the forum, but I introduced myself a few days ago :-)

I have recently purchased a Japanese import 2010 MK6 Golf GTI and whilst its running very well and no issues / strange sounds on engine start up, I want to get the timing chain replaced ASAP (some service history, but no record of that having been completed before import to UK in 2023). However, all the garages I have approached so far that are close to where I live have all said 'No' to my request for an estimate - too complex / need specialist tools so not interested.

Does anyone here have a recommendation for a garage that would do the work in South Wales? I live west of Swansea and willing to go further afield to get the work done ASAP.

Thanks in advance for help provided.
