The mech sounds a bit slap dash. Was this a generalist or independant specialist?
He was a generalist mechanic who does quite a lot of VW and BMW cars and was introduced by a family friend. That’s why I thought I give him a go. I had a chance to watch how the service was done up close which was very interesting and he also gave me a few tips on maintenance. He also mentioned that MK7 Golf’s transmission case (I think that’s what it’s called) is a bad design and can easily have problems with transmission oil leaks so I need to be aware of it.

By the way he also mentioned that spilled brake fluid oil can damage the car’s body or something. Is that true? I guess it will make things/dust stick easier?
