Transporter servicing in Leicestershire?

[CarpyT6]

Evening folks, does anyone from Leicestershire no of any/can recommend a decent place(indepent not main dealer) to service my T6? I usually go to my local German Marque specialist for my car, (this is the first time the service is due since I've owned my transporter)but just wondering if there's any transporter specialts about that am not aware of.

I service mine myself, but i'm not aware of any specialists in our area that do just Transporters or Volkswagens, other than the obvious Transporter HQ, but they don't do servicing.

@Paynewright might know someone.

Thanks for the reply, I'll just take to my usual if nothing else crops up.

Only place I know of is Chapmans on Stonesby Avenue but have only used them for a diagnostic on my old skoda so not a real test.

Hi all,
My T32 started squeaking at me.. I’ve had a good read on here and listened to a load of noises on videos and feel like it might be a tensioner... Anyway... I’m a teacher by trade and not that mechanically minded, so wondered if anyone could recommend a garage in or around Loughborough to have a proper poke at it. Would be great to start to work with a decent garage around here anyway! Newish to the area.
Thanks in advance; I did have a good look in the search function and nothing came up!

I go to BR Cartronics in Merry Lees, used them for last 10 years. Very good and very professional

Hi all, looking for a recommendation for a Transporter specialist in Leicester to replace a crankshaft seal, cambelt with ancillaries and a DSG oil change please?

A little further afield but I'd recommend Sunset VW in Derby.

My mate and co-presenter has started using Lion Garages' branch in Hinckley but I'm pretty sure there is one on Cobden St.
They are VAG specialist.
Back when I got my Octavia, I had Nass Tech change the belts and water pump on a couple of group cars, but that would be over 10 years ago now.

We've both also used Unit 18 in Milton Keynes and I've used New Duston Garage in Northampton, as they can update the electronic service record.
Both THQ and Vee Dub Transporters are in the county - might be worth asking them who they recommend.

I live at Cotgrave South of Nottingham. I am taking mine to Dav-Tec. Yes I know it's a bit of a hike from where I live but I have learned to trust Dav-Tec with other itemes of work on my van. That level of trust and confidence I feel makes me willing to do the distance for a reliable good job done. I won't put my van into the hands of people I don't know.

second vote for Lion Garage Hinckley

manager very experienced with VW, nice guy and reasonable prices. Sorted a failed ECU out on my old T5, found me s/h one and fitted and coded for a fraction of the cost of a new unit

I would be using him had I not renewed all-in plan

never been to the Cobden St one although this is closer to me

Also recommend The Motor Company, Golf Course Lane, not VW specialist but good mechanics and customer focused. Their sister garage Duke St Motors Loughborough look after wife's Audi
