Where best for service - surrey/south area
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2010 12:29 pm
Not been on here for a while had a nasty accident back in January on holiday, and have not been able to drive. Which has been frustrating to say the least, forza just doesn’t cut it. However I am now hobbling along.
Been starting the car every few weeks, to just keep it ticking over, and I have to say the battery is pretty impressive, it went for 4 weeks without being started and fired first time.
Drove it for the first time on good Friday, I took the wife’s Scooby out first to make sure I could drive, just in case I had any moments, however all is well, and after a very noisy slow journey to the petrol station, letting it warm up, brakes sort themselves out etc, I have to say this car still impresses like no other I have owned or driven., when I got the chance to open it up a bit.
Now it is about to come up to 3 years old, and my only experience of the local dealer has not been great, can anyone recommend a good dealer in the surrey/south area. I want to get the oil changed, as I think it needs it even though it’s not due, and get it checked over prior to the expiry of the warranty and one minor warranty item.
I am also considering buying the Audi extended warranty, I know its daylight robbery, but it seems the best option for at least year 4, but perhaps not year 5. Has anyone had any negative experiences with the Audi warranty? Seems to me like they won’t be able to argue the toss on hourly rates with their own dealer, unlike a lot of the other firms.
I just then need to pop back to a rolling road, to see how it’s performing after our last visit in November. I think the power flap is stuck again so I will get them to check that as well, that will be the third time, but I am not in position to do it myself at the moment, the crutches get in the way
