What a place!

What a place!

The service and advice in relation to my Audi TTS has proved invaluable. Everyone is so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Alicia on reception was amazing keeping me informed and up to date with what was happening with my car. She took the time to explain things properly in a professional and friendly manner. I will only use VolksMaster (Bury) to look after my car. I even took them in some chocolates to say thank you. Brilliant work. If you want somewhere trustworthy and good value you can’t go wrong with them.

Always a friendly and professional welcome from the team at Volksmaster Oldham. This time they have gone over and above for me, I had an emergency whereby I could not secure my car, I took it in for a quick bit of advice and to book ASAP, they took in my car and made time on the day to fix and make it safe again. As ever a full debrief of the work done and ensuring I was happy with that before I left. Superb personal service and value for money.

First class as always

First class as always. I've been visiting Volksmaster since moving to Bury in 2001, having owned a couple of VW Golfs, an Audi A5 and two Audi Q7s. Very knowledgeable and helpful and experts with these cars. This time the tailgate wasn't opening on my current Q7, and the night before my visit I had a problem with the sunroof too. Took it in, they put a new lock on the tailgate fixing that issue, and resolved the sunroof problem FOC. First class & highly recommended. Prices always reasonable considering the level of expertise provided.

Unmatched Experitse but careless speeding on test drive

The service was exactly what I needed. I needed a Turbo actuator replacement on 2.0 TDI. Everyone was quoting crazy amounts and was saying it would take them 6-7 hours to replace it for me and had to take the turbo out for it. Volkmaster did it in 2 hours. However they did speed in my car when they took it for a test drive. Wouldn't be bothered by it but I have a blackbox installed.

Golf GTD

Golf GTD, attended garage knowing that the glow plug on number 4 needed replacing, I told them. Still they insisted that they run a diagnostic test, told them over the phone it didn't need it and just wanted the work completing. Wife turned up with the car this morning as I'm in work and they ran a diagnostic test only to find what they have already been told and what we knew. she was then told to change the plug would be £80 (no doubt plus vat, so £96) and we were being charged £60 for the diagnostic (that also would probably include Vat, £72) so for the grand total of £168 I would have one glow plug changed.
Back street garage charging Dealership prices. Unable to follow clear instructions and decide to do what they want to do at the customers cost. No doubt they will try and justify their actions in a response however the facts remain a £20 glow plug at £168 is a ripoff. Save yourself and Avoid!!!
Update- As if by magic my crystal ball was right..Justification from garage, only there is a flaw to their response they didn't deal with me, they dealt with my wife and yet they state I was the one who was angry? keep digging because it's just adding to my poor experience of using your backstreet garage.

Hi Andrew, you have misunderstood every single step of the process, lost your temper and used it to make us look bad... First of all, we often carry out work without an investigation when our customer requests it. However, you did not request this, you advised that you have a warranty and wanted to claim under said warranty. No warranty company will pay for a repair without a diagnostic report, we made you aware of this and you agreed to go ahead with diagnostics. We even sent you a booking confirmation email which states this clearly as well as stating the price... which is £60 INCLUDING vat. We quoted you £64.02 including VAT to replace the glow plug, the genuine plug itself (Part number: 04L 963 319 E) is £32.52 including VAT. We added 0.3 hours labour, which is fair. Your warranty company rejected your claim and you didn't want to go ahead and became seemingly angry at us.

Edit: it's not magic, just facts. The booking confirmation was sent to your email address but you managed to miss that and fail to communicate with your wife. This is no fault of our own.

Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service, took my vw to them and I cannot fault them at all, had a dsg service, picked her up not long after and they’d washed and vacuumed my car for me! Really good price aswell, was expecting to be charged alot more, definitely only using this garage in future

My car needed considerably more work than I expected, but everything was clearly explained and I was kept fully updated on the costs throughout. The staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with. The car was also cleaned before I collected it, which was a great touch. Excellent service.
