After just 4 months, both of my tyres were badly worn due to incorrect tracking done by Volksmaster LTD. When I raised the issue, they simply blamed potholes instead of taking any responsibility as all tyres balance was all over the place. Their prices are almost the same as official Audi service but without the same level of quality or accountability. They also tend to push for unnecessary repairs just to hassle customers and make more money. I would strongly advise avoiding this place.read moreread less

I contacted them, sent over a video, and they asked me to bring the car straight back in.They investigated the issue, found that one of the new top mounts was faulty, and replaced it under warranty without any hassle. It's great to see a garage stand behind their work and put things right.The car now drives brilliantly. It feels much more planted, the steering is more direct, and all the suspension noises have gone.A special mention to Emily, who has been fantastic throughout. She's always friendly, always has a smile on her face, and her customer service is second to none. Whenever I rang for an update—even if I called more than once in the same day—she was always happy to check on the progress of my car, call me back, and keep me informed. She is a real credit to Volksmaster.The only small thing I'd mention is that I found the battery positive terminal plastic cover left loose under the bonnet after collecting the car. It wasn't a major issue, and I spotted it before it fell down in to the engine. I'm only mentioning it as constructive feedback, as it's something that could perhaps be picked up during the final quality check before the car is returned to the customer.Overall, I'm extremely happy with the work carried out. The team are knowledgeable, professional and honest, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Volksmaster to anyone looking for a trustworthy VW, Audi, SEAT or Škoda specialist.Thank you to the whole team!read moreread lessVolksmaster Ltd (owner) - 2026-07-28Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review! We truly appreciate your continued loyalty with your SEAT Leon Cupra over the last few years.It’s great to hear that the Cupra is driving brilliantly again—getting that planted, direct steering feel back after all the suspension work makes a world of difference. While it's always frustrating when a brand-new part turns out to be faulty from the manufacturer, standing behind our work and making things right straight away is something we pride ourselves on.We will certainly pass your wonderful compliments along to Emily! She really is a fantastic asset to the Volksmaster team, and we’re delighted to know her friendly communication and updates kept you fully reassured throughout the process.Thank you also for the honest, constructive feedback regarding the battery terminal cover. We take every detail seriously, so we’ll pass this along to our workshop team to ensure our final quality-check inspections are as thorough as possible.Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and your continued support. We look forward to seeing you and your Cupra next time!read moreread lessSammad Arif28/07/2026×Sammad Arif28/07/2026I've been using Volksmaster over the last couple of years for my Seat Leon Cupra, and I couldn't be happier with the service I've received.During this time they've carried out a DSG service, Haldex service, replaced all four wheel bearings, both front suspension bushes, both front shock absorbers and both front top mounts.After collecting the car following the suspension work, I noticed a slight steering creak.

- 10/10 from me. Amazing customer service. Everything was great from the front desk to the techs working on my car. Other garages couldn't figure out the electrical wiring issue on my car for the aircon system but these guys managed to nail it and got the diagnosis.The repair carried out was also top quality!Communication from Emily and Chris was great the entire time my car was in the garage. They listened to my concerns and answered any questions I had.They kept me on the road by providing me with a courtesy car which absolutely saved me. I will definitely be returning for any future work I need.Keep up the great work! 🙂read moreread lessFeen27/07/2026×Feen27/07/202610/10 from me. Amazing customer service.

I will definitely be returning for any future work I need.Keep up the great work! 🙂Brought my car here for a DSG Gear box service and Haldex 4x4 service. Prices were great compared to main dealer. Customer service and timing was fantastic too.Regarding customer service and timing. I booked my car in over the phone, got a text message reminder the day before too. On the day itself, staff at reception explained the process along with a rough timescale. Got a call as per the estimated timescale that my car would be ready for collection in an hour. One thing that was definitely good was the clarity around when my car will be ready for collection, I know it sounds like a basic task but previous experiences with other garages had me chasing up when my car would be ready just to receive ambiguous responses.Since it’s a new car to me I had various questions about the service and process involved. All the staff were very knowledgeable and were happy to answer any questions they had. They also have quite a useful website that lists out various services they offer.Post service, all documentation was packaged professionally and service details uploaded to main dealers online data base which is great to keep track of service history and not a service many local garages offer that I’ve previously used. One additional item of the documentation that stood out to me was the record of quality control, there is a very clear paper trail of who conducted the work, specifics of work involved and who inspected it to ultimately approve it. Definitely gives peace of mind that the work has been done well. If you’re looking to maintain good service history for resale value, the documentation provided is comprehensive, on par with main dealer if not better in my opinion.I’m disappointed in myself for not coming here earlier. Will definitely be coming back here to maintain, service or repair my car.5/5 highly recommended, especially if you’re based around Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton or Buryread moreread less
