Oil Change @ Arnold Shark tomorrow

[I wanted a GTi]

I got a bit of stick for making this topic but it helped me out when I got my first service down on Thursday.

Some very good advice in that write up.

Does anyone have any opinions about Listers Coventry?

I have had no problems in the past with them. They won't wash your car if you don't want them to. They have got a Captain Peacock type stalking around when you first get there to greet you and check over your car straight away. I have never had to return to get anything fixed after my initial visit either. So in summary based on my experience... 👍👍👍

My GTi is going into Arnold's (used to be Inch Stirling) for an oil service in a few weeks, will report back on how it works out.

I know that when I get round to the next service and then replacing the car in a couple of years I'll be heading up to Cameron's of Perth. No way will I be dealing with AC unless I have to, had way too many bad experiences with them in the past.

While I'm on this topic, as my car is on PCP does it have to be a main dealer that services it? I've previously used A for Audi in Glasgow to do work on my cars and would happily use them again (if I can without screwing up my PCP deal)

As long as they use genuine parts and follow what the service should be then it won't make any difference to warranty or anything else. They might try and offer you less as a trade in but the money you've saved from an independent service should offset that.

Any reason why you are taking your car to be serviced there? Arnold Clark have a terrible rep in both sales and service.

AC have fairly recently taken over the Stirling and Bathgate (West Lothian) branches of very long established Inch VW.They were well known for being expensive but with very good customer care.You could hear the collective wailing and gnashing of teeth on hearing the news from many miles away.
Could always go to Western in Newbridge Edinburgh.Bit of a trip for an oil change mind.

They weren't too bad tbh. had the car back in under an hour unwashed 
They have made a lot of changes in the showroom and i got the impression that they are trying to make it look like the BMW garage accross the road.
