12 month service due - anywhere to recommend / avoid in Sydney?

[ANDREWF]

I have to book my first VW service soon, and after a poor salesroom experience I used a broker to ship a car up rather than buy local - so no association with a local dealer exists.

I expect they are all pretty similar for servicing & will angle to overcharge & add extras. I wonder if anyone has a good / bad experience to consider for where I should book in, I will be looking around North sydney / Chatswood by default but will travel a bit if needed to avoid bad reps.

thanks

It's about 25 minutes from you, but BWA did some good work for me when I was living in Sydney, always very professional.
They are also a site sponsor, so let them know you're coming from here

that’s all you should be paying at a dealer. No need for add ons and extras

Also , are there any common issues I should know to check for before it goes in & have them attend to?
I don't hear any creaks or rattles like I seem to have noticed on some threads.

you’ll only hear the complaints. The vast majority of owners with nothing bad to say, stay silent.
