Independent Audi Specialist near Hook, Hampshire?

hotbox · 08-02-2010, 12:14 PM

Hi all,

Looking for a good independent garage near Hook. Preferably an Audi, VW etc specialist.

I used to live in Southampton and used Regal who were great, although it's a bit far to go now as I've moved to north Hampshire.

Any recommendations?

Own an S3 (late 2002, 55k miles).

Many thanks for any suggestions.

I have not used them yet but I have heard good things about Fontain in Iver:

Fontain Motors Ltd, 9 High Street, Iver, Buckinghamshire, SL0 9ND
call us on 01753 650909

used audi specialist - fontain.co.uk

Not sure if it's too far at 30 odd mile.

Only had my A3 for 4 months and this was the last place that did the service. Looking at service prices they seem resonable.

IIRC, they've won the Audi Driver independent dealer of the year for the last few years on the trot

Don't use Audi Basingstoke. They're, well, not very good

A bit closer than Iver in Bucks is AH Audi in Guildford. Another chap here has used them.

Might be worth a go.

That must be one of the nicest things I've heard said about Audi Basingstoke!

I used to live in Hook and always took my S3 to Camberley Audi.

Now I live in Southampton and I either travel up to Camberley Audi, or go to Abtech in Totton.

Ah yes. Don't use Southampton Audi either. They're, erm, not very good either (although the parts guys are very helpful - a lot more so than the parts guys at Poole Audi)

Camberley seem to get rave reviews. AMD Technik in Woking get my business for my LCR - they have always done alright by me and they seem to look after some pretty serious hardware (Porsche, RS4, R8s etc).

Second the advice to avoid Southampton Audi for service, but good for parts - much better than Portsmouth Audi who don't even have customer access to the parts area, you have to ask a salesman to get a parts person to come out and speak to you - how rubbish is that?

Many thanks all for the suggestions.
