Craig 0 Posted October 1, 2006 The time has come to get the car serviced, last year i took it to jmr and have since been to g-werks for bits but i cant justify travelling this far for just a service so does anyone know of any decent garages here in sunny bournemouth? obviously i want someone who is up to to the job and knows corrados rather than just a random garage which i may regret? are breeze vw up to the job in poole? im not fussed where it gets done as long as its done properly, any advice please, thanks craig.

Andy665 0 Posted October 1, 2006 I'd always recommend travelling that bit further to get the car serviced by someone who knows and cares about what they are doing. I travel 500 miles to JMR - the time and cost pales into insignificance against the potential costs of things being overlooked by people who just happen to be more local Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted October 2, 2006 i know jmr and g-werks are places i can take the car and not have to worr but i just cant make the trip, anyone with anythin closer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STORM 2 0 Posted October 26, 2006 youve also got Regan Motorsjust off Wimborne Road in Winton who regularly serviced the CCGB chairmans Corrado I believe. Autotechnik on the Lyndhurst Road coming out of Southampton are another option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavbs 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Craig, Apologies for dragging up such an old post, but just wondering which garage you eventually settled on? I've got my VR booked in at Breeze for the 100k service on Thursday, but would be happy to cancel and put my business elsewhere if you can recommend anyone? Shame Autotechnik aren't in Southampton anymore as they used to take great care of my Rallye. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted August 21, 2007 hi mate, not sure where your located but i eventually went to the fair repair centre in poole (01202676003), recommended by guys off the tidy vag site? they did an honest service and i rented a vw polo for the day while they serviced the car, only cost around £4 and i just had to top up the fuel i used! cars due again soon and if i dont go to g-werks then ill def be going there again! hope this helps located on banbury road too, postcodes BH17 0SR if you google map it. if your about you should try and make it down to a tidy meet, around the middle of the month!

gavbs 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Cheers Craig - seems there are quite a few to choose from, which is more than can be said of Dartmoor!!!! Have registered on Tidy Vag and will try and get along to the next meet. Looks like an enthusiastic and friendly bunch of Dub people! I see you're from Christchurch? My old hunting ground - just moved down from Barton-on-Sea last year and worked in Bournemouth for six years. Miss the area sometimes, but don't miss the traffic! See you soon.
