Good service agent in East Sussex? (VW or not!?)

[biker-linz]

Hi everyone. New and deliriously happy owner of a 2015 T5 Bluemotion.
Does anyone know of a good VW garage around Uckfield / Tunbridge Wells / Lewes?
I was going to try Southern's in Tonbridge.

Do you guys have a view on whether it is really necessary to keep going to a VW garage?
We have a motorohome specialist nearby (AMC on the A22), would that be better or worse than a VW garage?

AMC have a good reputation and will have far more knowledge than VW when it comes to fixing habitation issues, as they are used to all van sizes. Would guess they can also carry out the mechanical side of things.

Otherwise any decent garage can carry out service items. For VW commercial - Eurovans Eastbourne.

SMG Cowfold - losing the Midas touch?

Has anyone had any recent experience - good or bad - from SMG Cowfold? I'll wait to see how an unsatisfactory matter is resolved before posting any photographs. So far, based on yesterday’s experience, they score 0/10. My California has come away with more damage than it went in for. EDIT...

Worth noting that all the bad reviews of SMG are for Cowfold. SMG Tonbridge have a good reputation .
