Highly recommend the garage

Highly recommend the garage! Just moved to the area and got recommended volksmaster by my previous garage.
Car had issues and they got it straight in for diagnostic and sent a detailed walk around video and list of faults. I had to wait to hear if warranty would cover the issues, which they wouldn't. Soon as I told them I couldn't get it covered under warranty and id be paying they got the work done the following day (they had to order a part)! Picked the car up at lunch time and it had been washed and valeted! Proper friendly staff and definitely using them for any future car issues!

Great experience when car broke down

Great experience, car broke down at home and was picked up and taken to the garage. Staff sent a video explaining their findings and a very clear list of recommended work with prices. All went smoothly and I’m very pleased with the work done on the car.

Good experience

Following the recent closure of VW Main Agents in Bury I decided to give Volksmaster in Bury a try.
Very pleased I did. They operate almost exactly like the Main Agents did and charge (?)10-20% less. The staff are friendly and efficient and seem to really value your custom.
My car was collected (free) and delivered back once the service and MoT had been completed.
I had been recommended to them by a friend who had used the Heywood Branch and was very complementary about them.
The guys at Bury were also excellent. My only regret is that I had not used them in previous years, but I will certainly be using them in future.

Hi Tony, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We know how stressful it can be when a trusted local main dealer closes down, so we are absolutely thrilled that we could step in and provide that same high level of service for you (with the added bonus of better value!).

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our free collection and delivery service, and that our Bury team made you feel valued. We really appreciate your friend's recommendation, and we are so glad you gave us a try. We look forward to looking after you and your car for many years to come!

Breakdown and annual service

I was booked in for normal annual service, but unfortunately, my alternator went faulty the day before, and I was taken by AA to Volkmaster ashton Rd, Oldham. Thankfully they managed to sort out my alternator problem and do the service too, but needed to be left in until the next day (understandably). Great service and professional throughout. Special thanks to Amanda, Kat and Nick at reception, and Dan (engineer).

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Dealing with a faulty alternator the day before your service is incredibly stressful, so we’re just glad the AA brought you straight to us and that we could get it all sorted for you so quickly.

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We know how stressful it can be when you find out your car needs a lot of work due to past neglect, so we are incredibly glad we could turn that experience around for you.

Hearing that your VW drives like it did when you first bought it—and looks beautiful after its valet—is exactly what we love to hear. The team worked hard to get it back to being safe and fit for the road, and your kind words mean the world to everyone here.

Welcome to the Volksmaster family! We’re proud to be your go-to garage from now on, and we’ll always be here whenever you need us. Safe driving! 🚗💨

Kat at Ashton Road car center is amazing, great customer service, cannot fault her a little bit.

Jordan & Craig at Volksmaster Van center same with him, great customer service, cannot fault him.

Nathan has been the best, has always looked aftered me, love his service and the work he does!

I totally recommend EVERYONE to use volksmaster, 1000% better than these back street garages!

I’ve just had my MOT carried out at the Heywood Branch. It was done at an offer price and both the reception and engineering staff were very friendly and efficient. I had cause to change the date of the job and this was done by phone without fuss. Thank you

Back at Bury branch

Back at Bury branch again (lots of work being done to my EV, not because I was dissatisfied at all) and, as usual, fantastic service, a job well done at competitive prices. Thought I needed a new 12V battery but a health check by Volksmaster Bury meant I had no need to spend £300+ just yet. Thank you. The work done (replacing a pair of drop link after Group 1 VW only replaced one in October last year - I assume to quickly get more work out of me) was done speedily and professionally and no more knocking and clunking. Couldn’t recommend a garage more and Elysia (?) on reception is brilliant.

Excellent job
Videos of your vehicle which shows all the parts that need replacing, don’t get that on a back street garage.
Can’t complain about the price with how much work was done to a top standard with no fuss, better than the main dealer garages
