Hej,

Since importing my VW T4 van here last year I've had quite a few bad experiences with garages, such as over-filling oil after a service and being unable to remove wheel bolts and then putting new tyres on the front?!
Can anybody recommend a good garage in south/south-west Stockholm, preferably not a chain rip-off one?
Are there any other VW T4 owners on here?

Thanks!

My recommendation doesn't meet your geogeaphic preferences, but I take my car to Solna Bilteknik, located, yup, in Solna. I drive from Söder, and they are worth it. After seeing their ads in Metro, I decided to give them a try for my PT Cruiser and signed up for the big service as I was about to make a 5,000 + km drive and the car had some issues.

They correctly diagnosed and repaired a pesky idle problem that was linked to the fan and the heating/cooling system that had been mis-diagnosed by a Chrysler dealer. Car performed great on the long trip.

The firm is professional, service-oriented, and pleasant to deal with. Here is their website, and yes, VW is a brand mentioned in their ads.
