I might give European Car Centre a call (or swing past) to get a feel for them - otherwise ill go with Audi. Im a fussy mother fuc^ker so they better be top notch.

I won't go back to them!

I used to take the VR6 to ECC and still take the GTi there. Have never had any probs. There prices are fair aswell.

Nothing bad happened to my car.
When your paying good coin for a major (105000K)
service, all the pine air fresheners and suds in your
window washer bottle does not make up for the lack
of customer service (front counter).

This happens all to often unfortunately. A decent business is let down by some snotty nosed bitch with PMS at the front counter.

She has worked in the industry for a lot of years and has a good reputation.
She made me feel like I was being ripped and I honesty wouldn't trust them again.

There's a little bit more to it than that.

Make sure they do what you ask.
And if there is anything they "think" needs replacing to ring you and
get your ok.

[jamie88]

hmmm fair enough,
i might just let vw do it, for the extra cash ill get a loan car, and if anything goes wrong i can go yell at them.

[Lucas_R]

Sounds like my brothers experience a few weeks ago at Regal Mazda. He got a quote for his service, was told it would be between $300-$350, then when he went in to pick it up they handed him a bill for over $800!!!!

They replaced other items on the car without asking/telling him.

So are we all still meeting up on the 22nd March as mentioned a page or two back? Pending its not pissing down rain of course - the weather has been smick the past few days.

I took my Golf for a hoon down the Pacific Highway on Saturday afternoon. It was great fun through the twisties, have been meaning to do it for ages but just kept putting it off. It's slow now that its got the stock ECU map back on it, but the turbo still sounds fantastic courtesy of my aftermarket intake. Was great fun until i got stuck behind some old bat in a Porsche Boxter doing about 30kph.............annoying....good enough reason to turn around and go the other way again.

Im still in, Car is all colour coded now. Looks hetick youleah.

I'm out, unless a divine miracle comes my way allowing me to, swap two engines, whilst re-wiring one, swapping parts in between, fitting an LSD, getting a adapter made for the throttle body and porting manifolds in just 3 days:p
