Golfwagen - Perth WA

[en13]

I'm thinking that this forum has been the first port of call. Agreed .... not like Joe.

i thought it was very unfortunate too, and yes this forum has been the 'first port of call' because my mech said joe won't do anything about it- it's not like he's going to buy me back the OEM part he threw away...

i'm just putting my experience out there- i know zilch about cars. if anyone's gonna replace anything in car with after market stuff after charging me $446 for a service (50,000kms)- and all that was changed was oil & air filter, washer and windscreen washer additive.... i don't think it's worth my money.

MattyT: i went to joe's 19/4/11.

gareth_oau: he didn't know it wasn't OEM. he had an OEM filter ready to go and was completely thrown off when he realized that joe had improvised and created something completely different under my hood. my mech ended up replacing it with an after market filter because we have to order the missing part in and i can't drive without a filter in my car. what usually would have taken minutes took hours.

i'm sure all your experiences with Joe have been great- like i said, it's just my experience.

if there are other noobs out there who want a very reasonably priced mechanic who works with lamborghinis, ferraris and the like, you're welcome to PM me.

Since you posted twice - I'll say it again - you haven't given Golfwagen the right of reply before posting - in my book that's not on. Sure they might have argued with you about the merits of OEM & aftermarket - I know when I have had work done, I have asked for OEM items to be used which they have complied with.

so....it's worth commenting in 2 threads about the same 'issue', yet you won't give Joe a right of reply, or at the very least, ask him why he did something a particular way, and yet, you recommend us to use a 'mechanic' who you won't name publicly.

Sorry, I don't buy that.

sorry- i didn't want to name my mechanic can't i didn't want anyone to think i was 'pushing' for him.
it's Fabcar in Cannington. ask for Andre.

i assumed that if after market products are used i would be told about it- that's what andre does with me anyway. everything he has put in my 2 golfs have been OEM.

Bit of a thread revival but does any one know if Golfwagen is still kicking around? I just tried to call the number that's listed from google and had a completely different place pick up. The guy on the other end said that they have moved or shut down. He said there is a Nangara Volkswagen kicking around that he thinks might be the same people? Plz halp!
