    Recommend non-dealer service centre for small service and RWC

    Hi all,

    I have just sold my MY12.5 Polo GTI on Saturday, but we agreed that I will have it serviced before finalising the sale, and I obviously need to get the roadworthy certificate (RWC) done as well. The car is in great shape so no repairs required.

    The service should be a minor one as I have done the major 60,000 km service in Feb, and I have barely driven it since - it's just been 6 months so it wants some TLC again

    Any recommended service places which know how to service a VW but don't charge an arm and a leg AND can do a RWC as well? Preferably in the Chadstone/Murrumbeena area (VIC 3163) or nearby.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    PS: @ mods: Hope this is the right sub-forum for this - if not please feel free to move this post to where it belongs.

    Thanks mate! They are a bit far (40 min drive) but might give them a go if there is nothing closer.

    Found Krooz Automotive in Murrumbeena. They have pretty good reviews, so contacted them for a quote. Let's see what they come back with.

    Thanks for the suggestions all!

    I ended up getting it done at a nearby Ultratune. Cost me $395 - $220 for the service and $175 for the RWC.
