I have just bought my first kombi and she needs loads of work. Can anyone recomend where to take her in Newcastle

this would be the 3rd place i have answered this.

But here goes again

Ben Durie Automotive engineering
The details are in my signature below

does this guy know how to look at his old posts?

I'm needing a service for my beetle. Is Ben Durie a quality mechanic at a reasonable price? I ask because I've been burnt in the past with shoddy workmanship (incorrect fuel filter put on, stuff ups with electrics etc) and/or rather pricey prices. My engine needs a tune-up (timing's out, rough idling, chewing fuel, points need adjusting/replaced etc etc etc...) and an oil change. I'd do it myself but I'm well aware of my lack of technical ability when it comes to engines and would rather get a qualified person to do it. What sort of price would I be looking at?

Cheers!
