Passat B6 170 full service - recommendations[Dublin/Wicklow]?

olewy

Howdy,

I need to get a full service done on my Passat (09 B6 Passat 2.0 TDI 170).

Requirements;
Good reputation
Thorough
Good value (i.e. non-stealership-like prices)
Knows their Passats inside out (e.g. an ex VW mechanic preferred)
Uses quality parts (e.g. filters, plugs, oil etc)
Location: South Dublin or North Wicklow preferred but not essential provided its in the same counties.

My local indy could do it & is decent value-wise but they're not that thorough (I think) or knowledgeable on Passats (I know no car-specific specialist knowledge is required to carry out a full service but I'd like to have a place to use if I ever do need something VW-specific needed in the future).

Any recommendations welcomed.

George Dalton (Daltons.ie)comes highly recommended on here. Given me great advice over the last while on VW/Audi stuff in general. Knows his stuff and quite a few on here use him.

He's in Portloaise though, worth it if you ask me.

Thanks, do you know on average how much he charges for a full service? Edit; I see his example prices at http://www.daltons.ie/service-pricing-offers.php

Somewhere closer than Portlaoise would be preferred but I'll keep him mind, thanks. Any recommendations for anywhere closer to Dublin/Wicklow?

I wouldn't, but contact details etc are on their website I'd imagine.


If it had to be Dublin then a guy I know out near the airport used to do fantastic work on my BMW's when I had them. He specialises in Fords but given the quality of work he did on my cars, I'd be happy to let him work on a Volkswagen. Let me know if you want contact details.

Thanks, if you can post or PM his contact details that would be great, cheers.
