Scirocco Central

So my car is due for a service, it'll be the first since I've owned it. I'm just over 66k and although when I rang up they said I was out of touch with the cycle and I'd need a full service because I should of had a service at 60k and had spark plugs changed, they were done at 52k and the previous owner had it serviced like every 6 months.

Anyway besides the point, should I take it to the Stealers or get it done by an independent. Whats everyones experiences?
I'm worried that I'll take it to VW and they'll say I need loads of stuff doing that is not necessary.

I was in exactly the same position as you and I chose a highly recommended independent. He was superb and wanted to talk for ages about Vag-Com which is usually a good sign. My full service, new brake pads and AC flush and regas came in at £320. I would suggest that you ask around for a VAG independent with good customer experiences.

Since I bought mine I have only taken it to an independant, mainly because i know and trust the guy with my car which is not how i feel about VW!

I'm in a similar position except I bought my car from VW and as it strands it has FVWSH along with about another 5 months of warranty. I think this time I'm going to have to take it to VW and get it serviced and then consider using an independent when the warranty is up.

Think I'm going to go to an independent, now just to find one. Unfortunately the garage I go to don't do servicing!
