Can you service my Volkswagen and keep my warranty?

Yes. Under block exemption regulations, an independent garage can service your Volkswagen using genuine specification parts without voiding your warranty. We record all work and can update your service record.

My DSG gearbox is juddering — what should I do?

DSG judder often points to overdue oil, worn mechatronic, or clutch issues. We diagnose with VAG equipment to confirm whether an oil change, reset, or component replacement is needed.

Do you work on VW vans and commercials?

Yes. We service and repair T5, T6, Caddy, and other Volkswagen commercial vehicles. Brake work, timing chain maintenance, and DPF issues are jobs we handle regularly.
