Great service and workmanship from a great company.

I have always received service and workmanship of the highest standard from Volksmaster in Bury. I own a Seat Leon and always take this car to Volksmaster for every service and MOT. The workmanship is excellent and communications are of the highest standard. Prior to the Seat, I owned an Audi TT for a few years and always used Volksmaster for that car as well. As long as I own a VW, Audi or Seat car I will be using them with no hesitation. Highly recommended.

I booked my car in for diagnostics and…

I booked my car in for diagnostics and to be told there is £4000 damage, I explained my warranty will cover the damage and all they wanted was proof and the garage wasn't really keen on doing that, I've rang 5 garages and all garages told me its a £2500 max job and even said this garage is known to rip people off, They admitted to charging customers £100 an hour for labour! Even my warranty company said I think they maybe trying to get as much money as possible.

Hi Joe, everything seemed to be running smoothly until you were advised that some of the parts required upfront payment. There will always be back street garages that say negative things about us and state that our prices are too high but they won't carry the work out themselves. Your vehicle needed extensive repairs relating to the turbo charger and the timing belt amongst a few other things. We have never tried to hide our labour charges. We offer a dealer level service at a fraction of the cost. We don't rip anybody off, we charge premium prices for a premium service and we can guarantee you won't get our levels of service, honesty and compassion from any other garage in the North West.

Used Bury Volksmaster for an MOT and interim service

Used Bury Volksmaster for an MOT and interim service on my Audi Q3. The customer service from booking the works to completion was 5star. Dropped off car as prearranged and video received promptly explaining what they had checked and confirming there were no urgent repairs needed. Car was returned to me clean and washed, which was appreciated. Not the first time we have used Volksmaster and certainly won’t be the last. I was satisfied with the quote for the work which was considerably less than an Audi main dealership. Thank you Volksmaster.

Trustworthy Experts

The team at the Oldham branch are extremely helpful. I trust them implicitly with my Cupra 300 knowing that all work will be done as it should as they are VAG specialists. They make every effort to accommodate and get the job done as soon as possible. Could not recommend them more.

HAD A TIMING CHAIN REPLACED BY THESE IDIOTS DIDNT EVEN COMPLETE THE FULL JOB.

THEY JUST REPLACED SOME PARTS. 8000 MILES LATER TIMING RELATED FAULT CODES APPEAR.

ALSO MY CAR HAD TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THIS GARAGE 3 TIMES AS THEY LEFT BITS LOOSE UNDER THE BONNET WHICH WERE MEANT TO BE QUALITY CHECKED BY ANOTHER FOOL.

PLEASE DONT BELIEVE THERE REPLIES AS WHEN QUESTIONED IN PERSON THEY HAD NO REPLY TO ME AND THERE FACES WERE SHOCKED THAT THEY HAD BEEN CAUGHT OUT.

Hi Mitch, Many thanks for the verbal abuse. However, after checking our records, we do not seem to have any bookings that relate to this.

We are a family run business with a great reputation in the community. We carry out chain and belt replacements regularly. We have never lied about parts we have fitted, we have never attempted to con any of our customers. I handle complaints within the business and have never had any contact from you. Email customerservices@volksmasterltd.co.uk with your details and we can have a look into this? This is the usual process when complaining about any business. I have requested your details via Trust pilot also. If we don't receive anything from you within 3 days, we will report your review as fraudulent

Hi, we are surprised you have written this review. This isn't factual at all, you brought your vehicle in, we carried out the service with you present. We shown you that there was an old oil seal missing. You then came back to us throwing accusations that we lied about carrying out your service but that we also caused issues with your vehicle.... I am not sure how you can simultaneously accuse us of not touching your car but also accuse us of breaking it. You came back for a diagnostic where no gearbox fault was found and gave you the printout as proof. We also found faults relating to your flywheel during this diagnostic.
