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,

  • Please recommend me a garage for servicing - Logan or Brisbane Southside

    My wife's Octavia is due for it's 2 year service.

    It's a bit of a trek down to the Gold Coast to the dealer I bought the car from, particularly now I no longer work down there. Not to mention the bad experience I had there last time...

    After that experience last year, I resolved that this year I was going to contact the nearer dealer, and see if they would service it. Unfortunately, both the Brisbane Southside one and the next closest one appear to have vanished. I contacted a few of the bigger garages in my area who have worked on my previous cars, and have been given flat out refusals to work on VAG cars. Coming from an Opel background (where everyone thinks it's just a smaller commodore so says they can do it, then gets confused when it's not and it needs different stuff), this was a bit of a surprise.

    A google search for Euro specialists reveals a mixed bag of search results, ranging from the "not sure if still trading" to the "lying about being a specialist" to the "if the webpage is in English that broken, I frankly don't trust you with a spanner".

    There's obviously some good ones out there ... but I haven't been able to identify them so far. Hence the request here...

    I need a recommendation of a garage which will do a decent job of a normal 2 year / 30,000km service on an Octavia 90TSI in the Logan or Brisbane Southside areas.

        Jmac I think is currently away in Europe at the moment, not sure how long for though.

          Pretty sure he has gone for 3 or 4 weeks. He'll be busy as when he gets back too.

            Fair enough. I'm looking to get it serviced within a couple of weeks, so it sounds like jmac is either going to be away, or going to be busy with everyone who has been waiting for him to get back.

            So ... any other suggestions?

              ... I guess not.

              Any opinions about Euro-Aus in Capalaba, or Prestige and Performance in Coorparoo?

                  ... although (assuming I've got the right place!) they don't do Skoda, just VW. Which is odd.

                  Euro-Aus didn't get back to me, so I'm booked in at Prestige and Performance.

                    Rencal motors has been getting a bit of social media coverage recently (or I've only just noticed them recently).
                    Seems popular amongst the euro and higher-end boys.

                      Always used Prestige and Performance in Coorparoo in the past and can recommend them. Always looked after me and quality work. Will be going back to them once I get the new wheels.
