I havent found many peeps who play VW's in Ipswich.
Leon motor's isnt that far away and has done some good work, VW and Volvo centre are close and also do great work.

Depends on what you realy want done... general tune-ups.... maybe powertune in turley ST...

Thanks Taz,
sorry but where abouts is the VW & Volvo centre ? I'm a bit new to Ippy.
I'm suprised that there isn't someone here, there's heaps of beetles scuttering round the joint,

I would say that Leon's is a safe bet.
I have had a lot of work done by Leon over the years.

Leon's is at Coppers Plains not far from the Archerfieldairport

Phone 32777489.

I second the Leon idea. All works i have had him do have come up trumps.

i used to get my beetle (and my partners volvos) serviced at the vw & volvo centre and they are pretty good, ted is a great guy too :thumb:thumb

in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
