Garage near Bath~


Recommended Posts

As title...my lupo need to be changed cam belt and 40k service now

I quote in VW Bath ....cost more than 200 for cambelt and 300 for service (It's a lot~! VW said 40k is a major service --__-- )

Does anybody know any reliable and reasonable garage to do it near bath??

Thanks~!

I take mine to my local garage in Larkhall (know, surprisingly enough, as Larkhall Garage) - its only a little place, but they know us and the work seems good smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Cost me just under £200 for a cambelt change and 60k service - without the water pump though (had it done later when i had more money, and a few other bits to do), which I imagine would cost a bit extra.

Theres lots around though, so you can take a look at a few and pick one that looks/sounds good...

Depends if your car is lowered - if its standard, most of the tyre places can do camber (I used Hi-Q last time, expensive, but it was an emergency). If its lowered, they may not be able to fit the equipment under the arches, and you'll need to try somewhere like Bath Performance Cars - which is very expensive!

I always get mine done up here in Leicester now (£25ish a time), and just hope it doesn't need doing again till I'm back. Theres a derth of places in Bath it seems...

Motor Services Bath (who i guess you're on about) have been really cool dealing with my sisters Polo. They give her lifts to work when she drops her car in for services and are only a tad more expensive than the small, local garages. According to her, very friendly and sorted the niggles with her car out really quickly.

My car is lowered.... since last time i hit the curb on right front wheel, the wheel seems not straight, i think something has been bended or the camber has gone....and i can hear something rubbing when i turn the wheel to the right end during reversing. can i go to HQ?? or need to go to Bath performance cars?? cant afford too expensive labour charge --___--

thanks again~!

How much lowered? You may just need to go round a few places and get them to try....Bath Performance Cars were going to charge me £80 to sort out my alignment!! blink.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> So I went an had Hi-Q squidge their alignment stuff under my arches and do it, so I'd recommend going to a few places first

Thats the one thing about Larkhall Garage - no courtesy car, unless you specially specially request it...last time my mums car was in their the courtesy car was a J reg Golf (which someone crashed into, thankyou very much rolleyes.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ), and before that it was an ancient Fiat Uno laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
