Most VW Stealerships suck a big fat one - thats what I think anyway... and I only deal with ones that I have reason to trust either because of previous experience or recommendation.  There are only 3 Stealerships that I would currently deal with and I don't know where one of them is located because its the one where VW Main Dealer works at  :wink:  The other two are Wolsey Ipswich who I am collecting a Mk5 GTI from on Wednesday morning  :laugh: and a dealer in Essex off the M25 who have been consistently been praised in forums.  I have had first hand experience of another Stealer who typifies the kind of operation that ruins the reputation of Stealers... I 've slagged them off in many previous posts so won't mention them -  Auto bloody Haus of Northampton... :angry:

Wish I'd got a phone call about the service I received at Auto Haus because I would have given them 5/5 for trying to rip me off and lying to me and minus 5/5 for service.

HO HO HO

Have you seen the runing costs on an EVO?

I had an EVO 6 - the things are never out of the shop - service every 5000 miles or 6 months

£3000 yes £3000 for a steering rack when the car was still under w/tee - it was 6 months old!

Bye Bye EVO - Hello S3 - It was slower etc but i never took it to the stealers ONCE!

I'm under the impression that it all depends what car you buy, had similar experiences with vag en bmw.

Sister-in-law has a mk4 sdi with no opt , I just ordered mk5 GTI full opt
They treat here like sh!t, me like a friend
