Hi Guys,

New the forums. Just bought a C6 3.0 TFSI. Really happy with the car, its worn its 100k miles well. It's got good service history but last one was with the dealer the previous owner bought it off so I don't trust it. Looking to get a full service and I guess I should probably be looking to change the transmission fluid?

I'm in West London, Vagtech Surbiton are probably 20 minutes away - anyone any experience with these guys? I've had Audi's in the past but new company cars so I was never bothered with maintenance, but I've been running older BMW's for the last 10 years so I'm expecting bills.

Leatherhead motors company  leatherhead .

Not audi specailist but realy good at the  job and honest. 
after rac and A garage diagonised my car with low compression and new engine needed after the following codes

DTC: P119A,Fuel pressure sensor, incorrect

DTC: P0304,Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
DTC: P130A,Cylinder deactivation
DTC: P0354,Ignition malfunction cylinder 4

DTC: P0353,Ignition malfunction cylinder 3

LMC investigated the compression etc and found the fault to be a leaky injector.

AC Motor Services in Syston Leicester have been great with my a6 a d have done all repairs to it since the car was 3 years old. 

Any recommendations on a specialist in the Oxfordshire/Berkshire areas. I’m due a cambelt & waterpump and been quoted both £745 and £816 from two local main dealers 😳 many thanks 

Anyone recommend a good independent specialist around the Glasgow area? Thanks

For anyone in Cambridgeshire VAG specialist Quattro-Tech

I can recommed 4Rings in Dartford (Not too far from Bluewater shopping centre).

Excellent customer serivce.

Not overly cheap but better than a main dealer and the owner/main mechanic used to be an Audi dealer technician

Hi all,

My A7 is almost 10 years old now but mint. Up till now have been using main dealers for servicing, but they have put their service plans up from £499 to £636 which frankly is taking the p**s.

Can anyone recommend a good speciallist around North Hampshire/South Berkshire ish?

Anyone know of an Independent specialist in the Northwest please?

Looking too not get taken the pi** out of for my 38k Auto gearbox oil service 

I live in Suffolk - mid Suffolk.

Does anyone know of good independents in the area? I have 'googled' and found some but would like to know first hand experience?

 

Windsor, Staines & Slough

I am in the little known Egham area but have these better known bigger neighbours...

I've got a 2018 Q5 TFSI S Line, with 65k-ish on the clock, which has proven a belter-buy. Coming out of a sequence of 3 A3 TDI Sport models it's a nice enough family wagon albeit a bit lacking on the boot size if I had a gripe.

Anyway, I've owned it for 6 months or so now and have a couple of gremlins to address: a mysterious coolant leak and now one of my kids had an accident and p****d all over the USB and MMI ports!! 😄 

I was going to have a fluids and that coolant issue checked over but now have a slightly growing shopping list so looking for non-main dealer specialist in the area. Happy to hear of any recommendations please!

I found:

- German Auto Studio in Egham (https://www.germanautostudio.co.uk/)

- Alans Autos in Windsor (https://alansautos.co.uk/)

- VRT in Slough (https://vrt-slough.co.uk/)

- Lakeside Garage in Wraysbury (https://www.lakesidegarageservices.co.uk/)

- JPW in Addlestone (https://jpwautos.co.uk/)

Jules.

Please let us have a report on whichever one you choose to do the work.

Was hoping that there might be one or two on here from Surrey or Berks with an opinion. Will give it a day or two. If I go with one of these I'll drop back in!

Jules.

You can see for yourself how few responses have accumulated in nine years, and probably half of them were questions like yours rather than answers.

Nevertheless the regulars here usually recommend an independent over an Audi dealer for a variety of reasons, but you will have to do your own research. I hope you can bring us some good news soon.

Independent garage in Somerset or Exeter /taunton area

any recommendations ??

 

new to the forum.   Many thanks
