Vw specialists

[Bigbear]

Are there any recommended in Kent area? Could do with a few things checking over and a professional opinion on a few issues.

Body work wise or mechanical?

Mechanical mate, I need someone to take a look at my back wheels as something doesn't look right, plus is making a weird squeaking noise now,

Maybe electrics aswell, my dash lights only seem to work on side lights.

Click on the VW Garage map in my signature, you'll find recommendations in there.

Cheers mate margate is closest then.

Anyone dealt with 'rusty campers' or south coast wagenwerks in Margate?

If you are looking for validation before going there, nothing goes on the map without a personal recommendation from one of the main VW forums. I entered the quotes into the map and it was an SSVC member who highly praised the Margate Garage...hope that helps...but the more recommendations the better

Hi there,

I already mentioned it about 2 years ago in the following threat:

http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44985

Giving back to the community is the idea, so here is my input.

I'm an active member of the Dutch Baywindow forum ( VCT-2 ) And every summer holiday, we get posts from people who are abroad and having troubles with their busses.

The modern VW's can count on the service which is provided by the VW dealer network Worldwide.
However, for your (30 years minimum ) old VW, obtaining parts or service could be a major pain. And what about not speaking the language :?:

Therefore I made a map on Google maps where I collected the Aircooled shops ( I could find ). My goal is to create a complete overview of specialists in Europe. However, I can't do it al by myself, thats where I need your help.

Please take a look at this map, and share your input. I hope we can make it a big succes together, and maybe in the future we have our own "dealer network"

Thank you.

Thanks for your input, I will add the mentioned specialist.
I'm not looking for any popularity for myself, nor do I want to choose one specialist for another.

I know everybody has his own experience with dealers and like one more than an other.
I only want to know which specialist is te nearest when I need help ( parts etc)

If you are rescued by an Ambulance and brought to a garage; nothing is more frustrating then have to wait several days for parts.

I had a broken clutchcable once; I was lucky enough to carry one with me, so one hour of minor struggeling and I was back on the road.

Please noticd that I'm not related to any of the garages mentioned on the map; nor do I make any profit with the map.

If you have suggestions, please let me know.

Greetings
Marcel

I've compared my map with the one which is posted by Magoo.
I think my map is a great addition to his, because I've included al shops in the Netherlands and I managed to find some in France and Germany as well.

Just for your information.

regards from The Netherlands,
Marcel

And everyone is free to add new shops to the map
