Thanks.i have been here a few times recently with my car, after not knowing anything technical with cars or about the pricing of things etc and how much work needs to be done with my vehicle, Kat soon reassured me and talked me through the process and kept me updated with the car, what was happening, what’s next, when i’ll recieve it, when it’s going for a wash after the repair. She was amazing! so was the mechanics they ensured whatever work needed to be carried out was checked with me prior to them doing it or if any further repairs were needed. At my recent visit, they went above and beyond to put on my sun visor which had snapped off previously and which was something i couldn’t do myself, so without asking or needed to tell them about it i noticed they had put it on for me without hesitation.

Ashley Caveney29/07/2026Worst Service Experience – Complete DisappointmentFor years, I’ve had my tires changed at small local shops and never had a single issue with steering vibration. This year, I spent nearly £1,000 at this shop for top-tier Michelin tires, but the steering wheel vibrates violently—it literally feels like the car is shaking apart.To make matters worse, the oil they used (or how they performed the service) is terrible. The car lost 1 liter of oil by the time I reached Germany, despite having zero history of mechanical or oil issues. I explicitly told them I was driving abroad, yet I am now forced to find another garage in Germany to fix their amateur mistakes and pay extra money out of pocket.Last year I used Halfords and had an exceptional experience, but going to this shop was a huge mistake. Zero expertise and total lack of care. Avoid this place!read moreread lessVolksmaster Ltd (owner) - 2026-07-28Dear Azad,Thank you for your feedback. We are always sorry to hear when a customer is dissatisfied, and we would have welcomed the opportunity to address your concerns directly through our formal complaints process so we could investigate and resolve this for you right away.To address your specific concerns:Wheel Balancing & Vibration: Whenever we fit new tyres, every wheel is fully balanced before being refitted to the vehicle. During your visit, our technician noted that the offside front upper arm ball joint was split, which affects wheel alignment and is the most likely cause of the vibration you experienced. We highlighted this issue to you at the time of service.Oil Service: As Volkswagen specialists, we carry out these services daily to strict manufacturer standards. Every job undergoes a two-step quality check by a second technician. As noted on your invoice, your vehicle was refilled with 7.7 litres of 5W-30 (VW 507 specification) oil, which is the exact grade and capacity recommended by Volkswagen for your engine.We take the quality of our workmanship very seriously. Upon your return to the UK, we would appreciate the opportunity to inspect the vehicle ourselves, tripple-check our work, and help you get this resolved.Please reach out to us directly on 0161 624 5060 so we can make the necessary arrangements.Thanks, Volksmaster.read moreread less
