Hello everyone! Hope your all well.
I havent posted anything on A-S.net for a while now despite visiting the forums everyday. Reason being is that my A3 has been sleeping, so to speak. Its had its fair share of problems and I decided to put it in the drive until I can get money together to slowly but surely resolve the issues so I can fall in love with it again. So basically i've had no real input to make. As the saying goes, if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all!
Anyway, to the point! I read the good reviews and feedback regarding Stafford Audi and despite the fact that its a 3hour+ drive up there, I decided to get in contact with Steve via eBay (very nice chap) to book it in for a Cambelt & Waterpump change (A3 is at 78k).
So the journey began!
Situated in South Croydon, I departed at 10:30am and made my way to Stafford. Before doing so, on an empty tank, I filled up with £30 of Shell V-Power @ £1.12p and that gave me 420miles. It was a very very very long drive lol. Very boring too especially if your on your own so take someone with you! The mrs was working as was everyone else so had no choice =)
I eventually arrived at 2:30pm in Stafford Audi after 185miles. It looked very nice from the outside with pretty much the whole Audi range. They were even kind enough to leave two R8s outside for me to drool over lol
I went in and spoke to Simon who was extremely hospitable and warm. He talked me through what they were going to do and how long it would take. He also recommended a brief walk to the town centre to pass time by. The brief walk was 35mins lol.
Well, after a little snack I headed back at 5pm and the car was finished. It was just getting a clean inside & out. They also topped up the coolant for me and noted that the cambelt was out slightly (if i've said it right) which explains some of the rough characteristics the car was experiencing.
I was handed back the keys with invoice and went on my way.
I must note that everyone was full of smiles, very informative and professional. I honestly wish I had also asked for the £199 major service that they were doing as it is just a blinding deal! He also noted that nobody could beat there £275 Cambelt offer apart from a dealer in France! Lol. Whether its true or not, its funny and actually, I kind of believe him!
Anyway, I highly recommend Stafford Audi for there outstanding level of service in person and on my A3.
I know many are having a rough time with some Audi dealers at the moment so I hope its a refreshing change to hear from someone who got a lot more than they expected. If youre close or, like me, dont mind taking a day out, do go to Stafford Audi. You wont be disappointed.
My only regret is that I should have got the major service while I was there but hey ho :icon_thumright:
Hope this helps
