Could we have a register of dealers or VAG specialists that forum members have used and would recommend? I was thinking something along the lines of the current Google Map that shows members' locations, but for garages instead.
You never can trust garages Maybe each recommendation could be made to be required to have a post backing-up the recommendation, or you can only recommend if you've posted five times, or a mod has to approve them to ensure it's not spam.
Could you not get the people who have Vag-com on this as well, there are always people asking for vagcom i certain areas of the country on the car forums!
say if you got a columb with what type of vagcom they have, Canbus non-canbus, etc etc,
I think you have proven by now that you like sticking your nose into lots of things on here Sarah, and of course the site sponsorship too.
I was thinking more of random garages that just crop up and might just 'big up themselves'.
Maybe a way round this is to for the garages in question to have a minimum no. of users recommending them, say 5 or 10 or something. All the good ones would have this no bother and it makes it to much like hard work for the un-known ones.
OK, I've created this on here: http://www.platial.com/nivagh/map/18572?IFRAMEMODE=true&style=3
(It's a Google Earth mash-up site)
I've made the map so that only I can edit it at present - if you have a garage to recommend, please send me the town, postcode and a short description of your experiences leading you to recommend it.
I can't seem to work out at the moment how to allow specific users to add places to the map - it seems to be either just me or anybody at all, so hope you don't mind if I retain control at least for now, to avoid the possibility listed above that garages will vote for themselves!
