Vag Specialists

nonickname · 2009-01-19 23:30:04

Hey folks, first time poster here, Just wondering if anybody here can recommend a good VAG specialist in the North or Dublin. Called up one of the main Audi stealers in Dublin today and they quoted 600 quid to replace a cam belt and water pump. I should be able to get it done for less than that, no? Cheers, Frank

i believe there is a vag specialist in ballygawley seen it advertised recently in local paper bit of a drive but might be worth it for the saving as euro vs pound

Just to let you know, 600 quid isnt too bad for the work thats involved. I've seen quotes of up to 750 EX VAT for the same work.

You might be able to get it cheaper in the north, but factor in a day off work, fuel costs, food, and the journey up etc and weigh both prices against one and other.

You could try Jetstar in Dun Laoghaire.
