    There are plenty of service agencies throughout Germany. They carry the badging, listed on the portals and just don't engage in sales of new vehicles. Some of them do dabble in used sales of the Marque. With the amount of company cars sold there is plenty of money to be made in service and warranty.

    Yeah in Ireland there's a few dealerships that have the sales and service side sewn up

    There's plenty of garages that will fix VWs but just can't advertise themselves as a VW service agent

    Surely most ideas have negatives and positives?

    VW closed the controversial distribution centre but that only employed 200 and wasn't a factory
