Hi (my first post on the TT forum!)

After having spoken to Jim and his wife in person at Star Performance, I took my newly acquired 2002 Roadster to them for a coolant thermostat change and a stage one remap.

Simply by browsing through this excellent forum, I have learned so much more about this highly enjoyable vehicle and straight away recognised the "stuck coolant thermostat" symptoms amongst others.

I decided to take a leap of faith after so many positive recommendations and go for Stars own stage 1remap. I have to say I have been totally impressed with the smooth, responsive power and torque delivery of this map. The car is an absolute delight to drive be it pottering about in town or enjoying full boost performance on the open road! - Nice one Jim!

I will look forward to returning for normal servicing in the future and will no doubt be entrusting my Passat 170 TDI Sport Estate for safe keeping too !

I've been using Star Performance since I got the TT last September. Very satisfied with their servicing and all the work they have carried out for me. The remap I got there is great. Their prices are good, staff are friendly and they have a cosey wee waiting area with loads of magazines to pass the time. Jim also makes a good cup of coffee ;)

Great garage, great service, won't put my car anywhere else.

Phoned Star performance to get a price for a quick rolling road bhp print out of my car.., no setup or diag,just 1 run.

Dastek in Dalgety bay = £72 for 2 runs
Wallace performance = £60 for 2 runs
Star performance = £180 for 1 run :eek: :eek: :?

I then asked politely as you would what it involved.. 1 basic run , I then said "oh.. Dastek & wallace do it for 60-70 pounds "

The reply ?? " Aye , we charge £180 , cheerio " phone put down.

Now.. This is absolutely unbelievable !! I was stunned at this,they making that much money they don't want business ??

Excuse my french but thats downright f*kin disgraceful.

I dont mind paying the money.. My RS6 has had over 30k spent on mods and supposedly the quickest rs6 in the country , I wanted a new specialist nearer me to maintain service etc ( I only live a few miles from them ) , NEVER going to use Star Performance.

I solely joined this forum for the single reason to write this thread , thats how annoyed I was at there (cough) service.

STAY CLEAR

robwight, this sounds like crossed wires - are you sure he picked you up correctly? I used to put my Corrado VR6 to Star when they were at their old premises back in the day and they only charged £40 - £50 for 2 runs. I think I rememeber even putting my highly tuned Escort Cosworth to him as well. I know because my Corrado spent a bit of time on the rollers there as I fitted various different modifications to it over a period of time. Jim could come across as a little bit gruff, but he was a good, honest genuine person. Now I've got my TT, I'm looking forwards to going back to him...

I initially phoned for a price & he said £150 + vat £180

I then phone Dastek & Wallace , confused why STAR was so expensive i phone back to check the price of £180.. which he promptly confirmed before putting the phone down.. no crossed wires there mate was pretty clear cut.

3 times more expensive, half the service !! stay clear peeps..

I have never had any service work done there so cant comment on quality of work,but as far as him personally & his pricing.. no ta..

Also.. he had mentioned he could do the run at any time,asap..

Dastek in Dlagety bay and Wallace performance both have a month waiting list , that tell you something ? :)
