Default Can you recommend independent specialist for servicing?

Well, had my Fabia vRS for 4 months now and it needs a service (done 10,000 miles in it!!).

I live near Oldham, Lancs and work in Macclesfield, Cheshire, so it would probably be easist to get the car serviced in/near Macc.

Any suggestions for good independents??

And what sort of money should I expect to pay for an oil service and an annual service?

Cheers,

R

Hi Mate
We are in Irlam near the trafford centre if that helps?
We are open on Satyrdays too if it helps , we close at 4pm
So I will be off in another 2 mins
£120 + VAT for an interim service
And we love Fabia`s , I have a 100PD mapped up to 141 and our Andy have a vRS
So we are up on these cars
Give me a shout if I can help
Sarah

Second independant recommendation for Awesome. Just watch out for that Sarah if you've got your wallet open!

Be warned - it takes nearly an hour to get the the TC from Awesome on the bus (your car's with them, don't forget!)

If you want to kill a bit of time while your car's in, I recommend walking to Irlam station and getting the train into Manchester!

But Awesome are great - the only other independant I've had mine done at was a place near my old works outside Warrington, which is probably even further away from Macc...
