| Independent VAG/Skoda specialist? (Bristol area) Hi, just wondered if anyone can recommend an indy VAG/Skoda specialist - I'm just outside bristol (Between Weston and Bristol) and want to know of any decent garages to have my (not yet purchased) Skoda serviced. If you don't know of any indy specialists, then maybe recommend a main dealer whos work is up to scratch....... (i've heard that Clist & Rattle ain't much cop though.....) Many thanks. Steve |

| Re: Independent VAG/Skoda specialist? (Bristol area) haven't got any more recommendations i'm afraid, but I would say that I've found Clist & Rattle ok actually. I had my first service and a bit of warranty there (with courtesy car), and bought a few parts from there for the bluetooth install as well. The only thing i would say is get any prices in writing. I only went to them because after phoning around dealers, they gave the best quote. But when I got the final bill though, it was about £30 more than I'd been quoted - trouble is I'd lost the exact figure I was quoted on the phone some weeks earlier, and the name of the guy I'd spoken to, so was in no position to dispute  Mysterious items on the service bill like "brake dust inhibitor" Incidentally, when looking to buy I went in and pretty much offered them a sale of nearly-new octavia vRS on a plate, if they could find me one from stock. Never got a call back.  I know that doesn't sound like a positive review, but if you've ever had the displeasure of visiting WSM Ford, Clist & Rattle make you feel like royalty in comparison!  |
