Re: GTI+ Stolen, Recovered, Manhandled by Insurer's Garage - Need a VW Garage

Hi, Picked it up last week!

Everything was perfect, bar one interior door handle they forgot to replace.
This has just come in and we drive it around this weekend for them to snap that in.

Everything looks great, and we even got full detailing on the car due to all the paint work that had to be ...

Must be some kind of record, we've had 4 different courtesy cars the whole time.

I think Fleetline are going to do us right, fingers crossed.

Hey guys, OP here.

Great to see so much life on this thread - thanks for all the kind words, and it's great to read everybody's experience and advice.

I have lots to update, but the short of it is "Dooneese" is in good hands at the moment. Fleetline in Croydon seems great, and I'm confident they ...

Re: GTI+ Stolen, Recovered, Manhandled by Insurer's Garage - Need a VW Garage

Thanks for the Kind words and advice all...

Monkeyhanger (hartlepool?), Sorry to hear of all your trouble.
Yes, I am starting to see the issues with that, as they are expensive and reviews are terrible.
I would prefer reputation first, as it is our choice now (no pressure!)
