Guys post your feedback in here and i will be passing it onto Philip at the dealership on Tuesday.
First impressions were that Portadown Audi are a very nice dealership, i do get the impression that they feel they are always playing second fiddle to Belfast Audi, they dont have the facilities to compete with Belfast Audi, its a much smaller place and they have to share with Mercedes-Benz so that means they cant hold as much stock as other dealerships.
I believe its not fair on them, if Belfast can have this amazing dealership then so should Portadown, after all they are both part of the Audi family and I know they are extending but i'm sure it still wont look anything like Belfast.
To take R8 status off them because the dealership isn't fancy enough just is not right in my opinion.
When we went in we were greeted by the parts guy and another gentleman, i didnt catch his name but they gave us a very warm welcome. Philip came along shortly after to talk to us for a few minutes before we were passed on to 'Mr X,Y,Z' guy (haha every other sentence from him had X,Y,Z in it ), his real name being Andrew.
Andrew gave us a very informative tour of the workshop and machines, i particularly liked the AUDICAM feature, very neat way to show and prove to customers that there are discrepancies in their cars.
After the workshop we were passed onto Robert, the parts manager, he told us some very interesting facts about the dealership and again mentioned the fact that their parts stock isn't as large as their sister dealership.
When we were finished in the parts dep, we were taken over by Philip, sales manager, who i had originally dealt with, he informed us of the extension they are getting and showed us their paper plans, also showed us the stock outside and the Valeting bay.
Well me and a few others never seen the bay as we were drooling over the R8 outside as shown to us by Mr X,Y,Z who couldn't park properly haha. The noise of that thing is the stomach rumbling of God lol
We were then invited back into the dealership for some refreshments (No Shaun, i wont mention the paper cups... Oh damn ... ). We were given a nice cuppa or coffee whichever we wanted and a pastry.
I thought the tour wasnt as thorough as Belfast Audi, but im sure this is down to not having as much facilities, but all in all a fine dealership with very pleasant and welcoming staff.
