Unit 20

Post by GAZ-MAN » Wed Jun 29, 2016 9:33 am

Got my car booked in here for the 15th of July to get the oil seal done mine isn't leaking but piece of Mind to know that it's done as the car is now on 55k and no sign of paperwork to say it's been done, can't wait to get it in I like knowing the car has a full clean bill of health after its done, anyone else used unit 20 before for the seal and work in general?

I picked up my RS6 back in March and have already used them twice, once for a service and the other a couple of weeks ago to have the oil seal, water impeller, new intercooler, upper arms and brakes all around and they were spot on.

Highly recommended!

And yes the courtesy car to keep you going is a bonus as well, well worth the trip up from Birmingham!

Used them for about 3 years now, great service and they've picked up faults caused by parts incorrectly fitted by other specialists. My only *issue* (which isn't a negative thing) is that they are quite a small company meaning they are always massively busy so trying to get a short notice booking can sometimes be a struggle.

In my opinion they are the countries leading DRC experts and my 1st choice for any suspension work. I had my car transported there when I had a DRC failure.
And they used to own (might still have it) a C6 plus so they know the cars well.

Yeap, I'd just had a timing belt changed on my C5 and they found one of the pulleys was the wrong way around (posted some pics on FB about it) which was a good catch.

Yep they did a full health check when they serviced my car which was great for piece of mind and that's when they found the old oil seal leak and other issues that they fixed on the second visit.

I think they have 4 cars, I've had 2 different golf's and I've seen they have a Passat as well, not sure what the last car is.

There are 2 places in the UK that know RS Audi's .. MRC and Unit20 .. Both owners have been part of all the forums and owners of numerous RS models themselves for years .. both guys know more about an RS than any other place .. you are in safe hands
