Anyone used Edinburgh Audi??

Post by C17LJR » Tue Jul 30, 2013 2:49 pm

As above, due a service in a few hundred miles, and wondering if anyone uses audi at sighthill?

it's a 2007 and has 26k on the clock. Wondering an idea of cost, if I can supply my own oil, etc?

Thanks, Carl

I used them for my old car, they price matched the VW/AUDI place at the bottom of he road, also came to Queensferry and picked up/ dropped of car after.

I've had no probs whatsoever with them.

I've used them for service, MOT and wheel refurb. Not had any problems with them either but they did try and fleece £30 out of me to top up 1/2 a litre of oil. :bigblink:

Generally, pretty good though.

Peter the parts manager there is a top bloke and is very knowledgeable about the B7 RS4 in particular. If you meet him be sure to ask about his mint Audi 100!

I have also heard good things about Audi Perth, not much in it distance wise if you are on the wrong side of the bridge....... ;-)

My car always goes to Star Performance for any work because they are in the same town as my parents, they are a good bit cheaper and like all good independents they often know more about these cars than Audi dealerships!

I haven't had very good experience with them at all so tend to stay away unless absolutely necessary but sounds like others have had decent service from them so probably just a case of try and see how you get on and if they're no good there's plenty of other specialists around.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Star would be the easiest option as its just along the road, I've used Autotechnik a good few times too, mike knows his stuff (changed names to autodiagnose now though?)

However, I'd prefer it to have the dealer stamp with it having all dealer stamps so far.

I've actually realised a mate works at audi as a mastertech, he's gonna get me a price today and let me know I can supply.

Will report back soon :)

If Edinburgh Audi sales department are anything to go by, i would stay well clear of the whole lot - utter garbage!

Contrastingly - Perth Audi was the Polar opposite in terms of customer service etc. Cant comment on the actual servicing but if you don't want to deal with <beep> then its a good start.

P.s , in case its not clear - i dont rate Edinburgh Audi :)

I wouldn't recommend Ayr Audi to a Trabant driver !!

Stay clear of the central belt dealers, total <beep> and rip you off

Stick with your local specialists if I was you :thumbs:

Bit off topic but i highly recommend Automek in East Kilbride maybe abit out your way but it'll be worth every penny.
Here's his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AutomekEK

I know a tech at Edinburgh audi he got my rs4 serviced. Pm me for his details. All the audi dealers round central scotland area are part of lomond and won't let you supply oil but there is one way to get it done.
