gradeAfailure 0 Posted November 25, 2005 I'd say give the Phirm a call, they're only just south of 'Nam (that's Farnham... ;)), and they have a good rep... http://www.thephirm.co.uk/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonrb 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Sorry to dig up an old thread, but what was the name and number of the VW garage in Sandhurst, please? That's not far from where I live and I need some work done on my Corrado VR6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Seriously, if you're not far from Sandhurst, it'd be worth your while to drive the extra 25mins and go to The Phirm - you won't find anyone better round here... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted March 30, 2006 yeah, I second that... just go to the Phirm, the guy who told me bout the VW place in Sandhurst has had probs with his car recently so they may not be as good as he thought!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonrb 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Tell me more about the Phirm. Their website doesn't really say much with regards to VWs (or, indeed, anything :)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Have a look in Suppliers Forum, under a thread I started titled "The Phirm"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted March 30, 2006 they are the 'dugs nuts for VW's round here - they both worked for VW for years and then set up themselves, they work on any dub and their workshop was littered with awesome cars last time we were there! the soon to be tt powered Venom polo, vr6 turbo with an amazing paint job, their own red rallye, it was cool to get to look at em all.... nice blokes too, and wont take the mick out you pricewise!!!

jonrb 0 Posted April 10, 2006 I went to The Phirm in the end and was very happy with them. Just one thing though - "only 25mins extra" and "near Farnham" my arse! They're in Churt and it took me 45 mins each way. Wife not very impressed as I got her to give me a lift on both the drop-off and pick-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonrb 0 Posted April 10, 2006 No worries. I'm just not going to be able to use them as regularly as I wanted, that's all. :( I think I'm going to have to try the place over in Fleet for routine stuff and reserve using The Phirm for more major stuff / upgrades / fettling, etc. It's just not feasible to travel 45 mins each way for minor stuff. :( It's a real pity as they are indeed top chaps down there and I'm happy with the work they've done (and the price they charged!) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
