Hi Guys,
I've read up on a few other threads about the courtesy cars that Audi give you when book your car in with them for some work, but those threads were quite old so wanted some new info and update others who might be interested.
I spoke to 2 dealers, Manchester Audi and Stockport Audi. Used the online service to book my a5 in for MOT. Manchester Audi gave me the option to request a courtesy car online when I was selecting my date, I did it and got the confirmation email. After a bit, someone from Manchester Audi called me to inform em they don't offer courtesy cars because it costs them too much money etc. Was a little annoyed as to why they offer that service online for their dealership in the first place so I ended up cancelling that.
Called Stockport Audi next, I've dealt with them before when I took my car in for a heralth check when I first purchased the vehicle. They were OK to deal with. Spoke to them over the phone about booking in my car and they did confirm that they can offer a courtesy car. so here are the most up to date details so far as they have changed from other older posts:
You have to be older than 21 years, you have to have less than 8 points (used to be 6, still says 6 on their website), and no convictions etc in the last 6 months which is standard I think.
The big change which surprised me a little bit was the excess. I have read that some people were told £250 and £500 but these were from old posts. Stockport Audi said the excess is now £1000! What's more, the amount payable upfront to reduce the excess has gone up to £18 which brings your excess down to £50 which seems like a no brainer to me.
One other thing, they couldn't specify what car I would get, they couldn't even guarantee it would be like for like or at least something similar size/range wise. But I did stress that I need to have a large car to carry at least 4 passengers. I'd be really gutted if they offer me a tiny A2 or something, I'd rather just sit and wait for my car and save me £18! lol.
Have you guys had any recent experiences with Audi's courtesy cars and what have they offered you whilst they had your A5s?
Cheers!
