I travel around the NW working for Audi and there are a few I can recommend, Crewe, Stafford, Carlisle are very good.
Wow that's dreadful.... Not good news about the TT either seems like he's getting messed about alot!
I can't understand why they do this when people are loyal like yourself.
Which dealership do you have in mind for your next purchase??
My current and next A3 are/will be from Macclesfield Audi from which I have had no bad experiences. Crewe Audi is on my doorstep but I will never set foot in there again after a real bad experience concerning my new car enquiry back in June.
I would rather travel an additional 20 miles than use Crewe. Winds me up now just thinking about it. Grrrr
Just think how many Customers must walk away from Audi, just because of their salesmen & women's attitude towards the general public !!!
I even put in a complaint to audi uk when I had the RS3 brake update done at Stockport Audi, and guess what ? No response !! Says it all really.
Wow really what happened??
Is Macclesfield good?
It must be who you deal with at Carlisle - when I tried them, they weren't interested. Went further afield to Lakeland Audi at Grange and couldn't believe the difference. Bought car from here and would definitely go back.I've only experienced Carlisle Audi, and I couldn't recommend them enough!! Brilliant sales experience and the after sales experience I've received from the service advisors (especially Tracy) has been excellent! Will definitely go back
When I first started look at Audi though I went through to Newcastle and was point blank ignored!!!
Not much discount but I wasn't really expecting much off a new model. Got the sat nav free and a few goodies on delivery! They also let me use a courtesy car for a month after I sold my own car quicker than expected. If you want a discount, try all over the country. If you want great service, go to Lakeland Audi.I'm about 30 mins from Lakeland Audi, Grange. Did you get a discount. I'm hoping to order an A3 in 2014.

I've just got my S4 Avant, and I was insulted by Liverpool Audi with the p/x price on my X6 - went to another dealers (Boroughbridge/York) and their first offer was £4k more on the p/x.
I gave my specs on the car I wanted, I was getting partial matches despite listing the requirements as mandatory or optional.
I won't be touching Liverpool Audi, even if they are 5 miles from mine.
Wow that's a big difference! How come you travelled so far to York to buy? What about manchester and Preston etc?

That's crazy! I just bought from Liverpool Audi the other day with great service. That's surprising to hear such a low offer for your car. But then again we have a good relationship with the manager (Jeff) there.
Sales Manager, bald guy? If so, then he was one of the ones who low-balled me. I walked out in disgust. I emailed Audi Liverpool and the sales-guy to ask why they offered me such a low price and I gave them similar spec'd X6's as mine being sold for £10k more than they offered me. No reply. Nothing, not even an acknowledgment.
Wow that's disgusting. But yes that's the guy. He seemed really friendly and happy when dealing with us.
Well, I'm glad you sorted it buddy
Well guys, I know I've not posted in a loing time, but felt I had to on this occasion. As some of you may know, I'd originally wanted to order an A3 Sportback S-Line and an A1 S-Line for the wife, and ended up going with 2 VW's. Tried a number of dealers and my rating out of 10 would be thus :
Warrington Audi (where I live) - 0/10 - Totally crap, condicending, and up their own backsides. Told me if I would only order with some discount, then they would prefer not to quote !
Manchester Audi - 4/10 - Much better than Warrington, polite and courteous, until I mentioned discount, then everything changed - "discount....oh no, this is Audi, we don't discount". PX prices very poor.
Crewe Audi 3/10 - Quite patronising, and again didn't really seem to be interested in doing a deal. Lowest PX price.
Cheshire Oaks Audi - 4/10 - Again much like Manchester, quite polite, but waited 2 hours for a booked test drive, then to be told absolutely no discount on 2 cars ! (WTF). Never responded to my emails or phone calls to firm up on the quote and put it in writing, so I never bothered to contact them further.
Macclesfield Audi - 8/10 - By far the best of the bunch. Really polite, courteous, and genuinly wanted to try and get my business with some discount and sweetners, unfortunately no where near the package I got from VW, but highest PX price from any of the dealerships. Would certainly try them again in the future.
Pentreath Audi (Anglesey) 7/10 - Bit of a odd ball in this mix as I only dealt with them over the phone or email. Much like Macclesfield, tried to get the business, and I would think in person would be a good company to deal with.
Given the other responses, it quite amazing that some dealerships that I had very poor service from, rate quite highly with others, so I can only assume it's more down to the individual salesman, not necessarily the dealership ?
I'm not a huge fan of Carlisle. 1 sales guy I spoke to told me were to stick it and pointed to the entrance and that where the exit is. when I questioned a price of a nearly new 8p a3 when It was covered in scratches, wheels kerbed and a few dents, Luckly I had been in the day before and seen another sales guy who in the end got a new car sale. But the service I get treated like I'm nobody. 1 person in particular thinks there better than everyone else. Well that's my opinion . Maybe my age but is my money different to anyone else's.
