Hi everyone, I love this forum and have been lurking on it for some time. Recently I took my 2008 polo to Volkspower in Burwood. Being VW specialists I thought they would do a good job. It was only for a minor service. Half way through the day I get a phone call telling me the job was done. I'm happy, except then the guy offers to change my wiper blades. I ask "How much?" and he says "One hundred dollars"... WTF! Rather diplomatically I tell him I'll do it myself. I thought I would share this experience with you and see what others have thought of them. Can anybody else recommend a VW specialist in Melbourne? Thanks.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

I highly recommend Audvolks in Clayton. Very knowledgeable, always around to help, VERY well priced. Mind you, I drive 1.5 hours to get my car serviced there._

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I'll be replacing the wiper blades... when they need to be changed, probably with something from Autobarn.
I'll admit I'm becoming a bit paranoid about getting ripped off. I once had a garage bill me for new wiper blades at a routine service. It was awkward when I pointed out to the mechanic that I'd changed them myself the week before, and they were the same ones still on the car.
