Hello From the beautiful Stroud valleys, where I am on holiday.
I know I’m new here and haven’t yet posted much (there are good reasons for this which I won’t go into here!) and I hate to be both new and immediately needy, but…
…I’ve had to call the RAC (which I have through my insurance) as the ‘red battery’ charging light came on towards the end of my drive here from Nottingham. Obviously I suspect the alternator is about to fail but need it checking and today the RAC have called me back and informed me that I must find a suitable garage and call them back to arrange a tow there.
Can anyone on here recommend a VWG-friendly garage in the Stroud area? I have a strong battery in my A2 FSI and although I haven’t driven it since Saturday, I imagine it will start and drive so I might as well take it somewhere myself, if that’s the RAC’s attitude.
Many thanks in advance for any useful pointers; please only suggest garages / mobile mechanics though, as I have no more than basic tools available and am on a working holiday which I am trying not to disrupt too much!
All the best, WG.
