Meet the VRT Team

VRT Mission Statement

Our purpose is to provide our customers with a true alternative to the main dealer, along with a customer service focus to relieve the anxiety of taking your car to a garage. We want VRT to be industry-leading in our sector and the first name mentioned in Berkshire when recommending a trustworthy and competent garage for a Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Cupra, or Skoda.

We will achieve this by using genuine parts, repair procedures, tooling and transparent reporting processes to our customers with detailed written reports, video reporting of their vehicles and the work required, along with continued personal development of our team here at VRT.
