Yup got my S4 Avant there about 1½ years ago and no complaints. Pretty reputable shop IMHO, cars are in nice condition, although prices tend to be on the high side. If you buy a car from them, dont get the Warranty, as it is worthless.

I bought my S4 avant from them - pretty good IMHO. Also, the warranty may not be the best, in that it only provides upto £1k max per claim, but I claimed 4 times in one year (MAF, door switch, sat nav) and they paid up no problems.

Make sure they have the car there as when I visited them a few weeks back I could only see 1/2 the cars that were on their website.

Cheers

Bought the Silver S4 saloon that was on their website a few weeks ago. Mint condition, apart from the odd stone chip here and there, which is to be expected on a 3 year old car.

Very good service.

I was considering that nogarro blue one up there. Very nice.

Another thumbs up here, bought my S2 from them almost a year ago, very professional, sorted any niggles I had with the car before I picked it up and even pointed out a few that I had missed. Don't worry about not all of the cars not being in the showroom, it is a little on the small side and usually full of TTs, they have a yard not too far away and often have to bring cars round.
