Thats your best bet and just ring them up and ask if they are approved VW service garage and can they provide you with the correct VW stamp in your service book if not then they are probably bullsh!tting you about being approved :)

Buy a stamp mate, they are about. Plus noone really cares about dealer history, at the end of the day, servicing a car isn't a mean feat, dealers are slacker IMO than the guy repairing cars off his own back gaining work only through reputation and recommendation. It's good, don't get me wrong but it shows that someone spent more money on servicing than the shrewder man for no reward, not that it's a good car. Your only doing it now for the next owner who will think of it as a 10+ year old car. The same as people who use seat covers....... Why preserve it for someone else????? :huh:
-
My ass is golden and only deserves the real seat... no seat covers for me :grin:
-
Mmmmmm, I'm gonna probe that golden ass of yours. Don't you cum too quick boy :kiss:

lool me no never :evil:

So So true my mate is a mechanic and he just visually checks most things and hasn't checked things before because they work on a bonus scheme where if he does it in a quicker time than allocated etc etc he earns money the only way to save a lot of time is to miss bits out.. My other mate had a service done a ford a year or so ago and they were spose to have done a brake fluid change and the car came back exactly the same.. If you service yourself you can guarantee you have checked all you want to check and changed what you want to change..
-
Plus you can service yourself at the same time..... :wink:

Exactly

where can i buy the stamp??????? :shocked:
every car i had in the past (all japs) i serviced my self and didnt give a toss about stamps asi knew i was maintaining them at a good standard.. i have changed oil on the mk4 every 6000 miles and got a full service done once when i first brought it, but only reason i want the stamp in the book now, even tho i know all VW do is walk around the car given the bu!!sh!t visual check, is becuase i know that with german cars the service history does make a diff when coming to sell it.. etc. many people say even on here they wouldnt buy a mk4 without full dealer history,i was one of them :grin:
