Title: Good Independent VW required
Post by: chas.s on 31 January 2026, 15:15
Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good independent VW specialist workshop in the Sussex area. Thank you.

There was a guy who owned a TCR, who I watched go around Goodwood a while ago. From memory I believe his first name was Oli
and he owned a garage in the Bognor area of West Sussex, can any of you fill the gaps?

Cheers,
Chas :smiley:

It is Bognor Motors in (unsurpisingly) Bognor Regis, West Sussex.  If you have a look on their web page now you'll see that same grey Mk 7.5 TCR (with many mods) up for sale for £35k.

Thanks CarbonGTD, I will have a look at their website and see what they have to offer regarding servicing etc. Hopefully someone here may suggest other specialists in my area.

One of the reasons I was asking was because I’d just had my TCR serviced by my local main dealer, Caffyns Worthing (I have an ‘All In’ service plan). They quoted me £201 for changing my front diff oil, which I declined as I thought that sounded expensive. I have since had a quote of £102 from Caffyns VW Hove and are booked in for two weeks time.
When I spoke with Caffyns Worthing about the vast difference in the quotes, I just got complete BS. They obviously thought I was an easy touch.
