VGS Performance, VW Group specialists in Swindon

We’re VGS Performance

Established in January 2018 and formerly trading as VW Group Specialists, VGS Performance is a family-run independent workshop based in Swindon.

We’re driven by a strong passion for delivering a high standard of specialist service at fair and transparent pricing. By combining dealer-level diagnostic capability with the flexibility of an independent workshop, we provide accurate fault-finding, structured servicing and practical repair solutions.

At VGS Performance, we focus on considered repairs wherever possible rather than defaulting to full component replacement. This approach helps reduce unnecessary costs and extend the working life of your vehicle – something we take great pride in delivering to our customers.

“Strong passion for offering customers a high level of specialist service at an affordable price.”

Why did VW Group Specialists change its name to VWGS Performance?

We rebranded from VW Group Specialists to VGS Performance in 2026 to better reflect the evolving direction of the business.

As our services expanded – particularly in performance tuning, advanced diagnostics and specialist vehicle support – we felt the new name more accurately represented the broader scope of what we offer.

While the name has changed, our commitment to technical expertise, quality workmanship and customer service remains exactly the same. VGS Performance continues to operate as an independent specialist working predominantly with vehicles from the Volkswagen Audi Group portfolio.

The rebrand reflects our continued growth, expanded facility and increasing focus on performance, advanced diagnostics and modern vehicle systems.

Are you a main dealer or an independent VW specialist?

We are an independent specialist working predominantly with vehicles from the Volkswagen Audi Group portfolio.

This means we use dealer-level diagnostic equipment and manufacturer-compatible software, and carry out servicing and repairs in line with manufacturer technical guidance while operating independently from the main dealer network.

VGS Performance Ltd is an independent business and is not connected to, affiliated with, or endorsed by Volkswagen AG or any of its associated brands.
