Vw servicing in east dorset, bournemouth/christchurch

Betty67 · Nov 22, 2020

Anyone have knowledge of a good vw specialist garage who can do standards service on t6 cali trying to avoid main dealer costs. Cali is now 3 years. No due for 6 months but would like to get it done prior to new season.

I expect you've considered the resale of not being able to say full VW service history. Don’t get me wrong, it shouldn't and probably won't make any difference, especially if there is a good specialist.

(We're West Dorset, so commenting to follow the thread told!!)

Have you tried coastal? We used to use them in Ferndown until they closed (for VW cars, don’t know about Cali). I’ve not used the Poole branch, but presumably similar, and just round the corner from breeze for parts

I use autotechnics in Blandford because it's just round the corner. VW specialists and keep the service records up to date.

Bognor motors are worth the extra drive.

I believe they have a branch in Weymouth so too far for you!

Hi Betty 67 . I use Kartechnic in Christchurch. Excellent knowledgable and reasonable . Would definitely recommend .

What is the cost difference i wonder? If its only saving £100 then for me personally I'd stock with a full VW service history.

20% off VW service plans at the moment.

Maybe of interest.

I've been looking at Calis 2nd hand and a full VW service history certainly helps in making the vehicle more attractive...not just for the services themselves but for any future sale.

Not so great call,
Please be aware if you pay for a service plan using credit card it is classed as a CASH transaction and you may be charges a transaction fee. No warnings of this and was charged by credit card company £15.23 i checked T&Cs of card company and is correct as your buying a financial service.
NO warning about this from VW, i will be complaining.
