Happy New Year to all of our customers past, present and future – and our readers too!
Hopefully, your 2025 New Year’s Resolutions will include:
- Cutting down after eating 40,000 calories a day
- Finally decluttering that room that’s become a dumping ground
- Giving up those unhealthy habits, and this time you really mean it
- Bringing your car to WVS Cars, for all your servicing, repairs and MOTs.*
Calling all Cardiff and South Wales drivers
WVS is based in Barry, South Wales – just a Welsh Tea Cake’s throw from Cardiff.
So, fair enough, if you’re reading this in Skegness (or on Easter Island, you never know), then you might have better local options for your car.
But if you are a driver in Cardiff or the rest of South Wales (yes, we’re talking about you, Penarth, Font-Y-Gary, Pontyclun, Cowbridge, Barry, etc) then you really should head over to see us. We offer top-quality work that’s equivalent to main dealership standards.
Don’t believe us? Then take a look at our customer reviews for the last 12 months.
Here’s every single WVS review for 2024
These are all the reviews that Google says have been submitted in the last year. Looking at the timings, we’re guessing that Google has a slightly weird system of calculating a year, so some may be from 2023, but who are we to question?
We haven’t missed any out. The reviews appear under our previous trading name, Welsh VW Specialists – but rest assured, we’re the same people in the same garage.
We make it 46 reviews in total… ready for some scrolling?
Simon Arscott – Five star review
I’m always impressed when I visit by the knowledge and passion shown by the team working here. Great customer service and very fair pricing for your VW group vehicles here. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Used the Guys for the first time last month for a Cambelt, Water Pump, aux belt and major service on my Passat Estate, along with a Throttle Body replacement and EGR pipe modification on my wife’s EOS the following day and I have to say the the service we received was fantastic, so knowledgeable and both cars run so much better, extremely impressed and at a price that wasnt bank breaking either, so much so when our Stepsons’ Leon had a brake issue a week ago, instantly I told him to contact WVS as they will sort it. Again within a matter of days it was in done and back to him perfect, they even painted the new caliper to match the others on the car. Why would I now go anywhere else, these guys simply are the best when it comes the all things VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda! Thank you guys!

Good fast and cheap
Andrew Gorman – Five star review
Fantastic service from the team.
They diagnosed the issue with my Audi and fixed it within a day! The team are “100%” Audi specialists I cannot recommend these guys any more!
Be very careful giving your car to any other diagnostic companies as I got burnt. If you have a problem give your car to these guys..
Thanks guys I will be recommending you to everyone!

Elis Roberts – Five star review
Ive had several issues with my Audi S3, and Louis at welsh VW Specialists has sorted it out every single time without a hitch. His knowledge is second to none when it comes to Audis/VW’s and the team are excellent at getting it fixed for you. Ive rang Louis with vague explanations of the errors and he’s known straight away what the problem is. If you have a l Audi or VW, I wouldn’t take it anywhere else but here.

Budgie – Five star review
Fantastic!
Great friendly and knowledgeable staff. They really know what they are doing and and demonstrate good communication.
Cost is far better than [we’ve edited the name out] that invents additional costs. This workshop seems far more honest and reliable. Also, they always seem to be able to fit your car in for work/servicing before their specialist VW, Audi, Skoda competition and other local non specialist garages.
Very happy customer.
Robert Biles – Five star review
Huge fan…Matt, Spike and the WVW team have been tenderly looking after my S8 for nearly 7 years. My S8 is in great shape and I am a very happy customer.

I have used Welsh VW Specialists for my MOT testing for many, many years and have always had good service from them. They are generally good humoured and pleasant to deal with and try to accommodate your requests.
On occasion I have had them repair faults shown up during the test and again have been happy with the results.
I recommend them in particular for the MOT testing. They don’t “upsell” and you get a good, honest test.
KaiMassacre – Five star review
Honestly best garage experience I’ve ever had. Super knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Dan especially was really open to answering questions I had and sharing his expertise with me. I sat in the office for a good few hours while they did their magic and they treated every customer I saw when I was there with the same respect and friendliness they had shown me. Super happy these guys are just down the road from me. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Excellent garage. They look after both mine and my wife’s SEAT’s for services, MOT’s and any issues which have cropped up. They’re such a good garage that for our next car, we’d probably have to stay in the VW brand just to keep going here.
James Lee – Five star review
Have used them a few times now and cannot recommend highly enough. Always welcoming with fair prices, great knowledge, great workmanship and helpful advice. My first choice garage when my car has a problem.

These guys have done a few things on our T5 lately and it’s great to have them on hand to provide trusted advice and top quality work. They’re intelligent guys, the place is clean and tidy, they respect the cleanliness of my van and they definitely know and love VWs. Recommended!

Tom Kianfar – Five star review
Sold my VW polo to Welsh VW Specialists and received excellent service and seller peace of mind. I was offered a reasonable price where I wasn’t out of pocket, and a very nice bloke called Tom drove all the way down to Brighton from Cardiff to collect my car allowing me a quick and efficient sale. A definite one to sell your car to with no hassle.
