So so, had a tyre valve snap earlier in the week when trying to re-inflate some lost pressure. As usual you get the slight sweats about a trip to the dealer. Didn't think it would be a big deal but you never know

Anyway, the damage ................£49 and got a free car wash.

Expensive you may say for a tyre valve but you can never trust a dealer in what their diagnosis is going to be.

So relieved to get away with a tiny bill and continue to find basingstoke audi very good, trustworthy and efficient on the 4-5 times I've used them for faults, servicing and MOT

Mine was not cheap like yours but Ihad my DRC refilled yesterday and they were cheaper than a Indy and ended up being nearly £20 cheaper than they quoted me plus the clean.
so like you iIwas very pleased with the whole experience, Audi Bromley by the way.

Cant belive you let them wash(scratch) your car!
Anytime ive had any of my cars in at a main dealer,or even an indy,I specifically ask them not to wash it,especially with black or dark coloured cars,you can guarantee it'll be washed by someone clueless,who wont of even heard of the 2 bucket method,swirled paintwork ahoy!
Anyway, sorry for the hijack, good to hear that some dealers care about value for money,& dont see us all as cash cows!

Agreed , when mine was in for the service I told em point blank not to clean it , inside or out

£49 ain't bad, costs about that to park on there forecourt,
