Diagnostics
If you have a concern with your VAG our technicians will carry out an initial diagnostic investigation.
Our highly trained VAG technicians use our most advanced diagnostic equipment to carry out the initial investigation. We will then contact you to discuss the next steps which will either be a firm quotation for the repair, or for more complex issues, an estimate for additional diagnosis
Component Protection Removal
As an anti theft protocol, most VAG electronic modules; Instrument clusters, media units, heating controls etc have in built component protection. This is initialised from factory and stops modules being swapped into different vehicles. As an authorised VW group repairer we can sync used modules to a different vehicle by removing the component protection.
Repairs
From simply replacing a bulb to complete engine rebuilds, we only use genuine OE parts or quality parts from reputable sources and suppliers.
As we specialise in The VAG Group we have an in-depth working knowledge of these vehicles and therefore, should you need a repair, we may well have seen the symptoms before, thus enabling us to repair the vehicle quicker than most other non specialised workshops.

MOT
The MOT certificate confirms that at the time of the test, without dismantling it, the vehicle has or has not met the minimum acceptable environmental and road safety standards required by law. It doesn’t mean that the vehicle is roadworthy for the length of time the certificate is valid. The MOT certificate is also no guarantee of the general mechanical condition of your vehicle. The test doesn’t cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox.
