    Anyone know of an independant VW specialist that will carry out some work on my 2.0 Tdi Altea, needs the belts done, Brake discs, and a normal service, I've been quoted over 1000 euros for the work and wouldnt mind shopping around.

    Also do garages mind if you source parts yourself and get them to fit.

    Would you be interested in travelling to Meath about 11 miles the far side of Navan there is a very good VW independant just up the street from me very reasonable too and not fussy about you sourcing the parts as he's have to spend time doing that anyway
