Audi servicing in the Midlands

My recently acquired RS4 (B5) is due for its annual service, does anyone have any recommendations regarding Independent Audi specialists in the Worcestershire/West Midlands area. Alternatively I could stick to the main dealer network, Audi Halesowen and Audi Solihull would be most convenient for me - does anyone have any experience of these?

Thanks

I have used Wolvo Audi and Halesowen Audi in the past. Haven't used them for about 6 years now and can't see me using them again.
I use both MRC and Unit20 now. Both are very good and MRC are a lot closer to you by the sounds of it.

Will MRC service an RS5? If so any idea of cost?

Regards, David.

Yes, they could do it blindfolded, e-mail them for a cost but if I had a brand new RS 5 I'd want to take it to Audi. It'll probably help resale whereas on a C5/B5 potential buyers prefer to see specialist service stamps.

All good, David. Just covered 400 miles in it today - and it is still showing 40 miles of V Bastard left in the tank! One thing I know for sure though, these half alcantara seats are utter <beep>, what an uncomfortable ride it was, I just couldn't get comfy.

Things aren't always what they seem then, since they looked really comfortable, especially as they should be for a large ish car. :audibash:

They probably are, fairly. But I came from an S8 and the recaros in that were unbelievably comfortable. These don't allow me to sit inside them as much and have hardly any adjustment. It's hard to explain. Nobody else complains.
