PeterS Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Just a quick heads up for anyone in the Worthing area; popped in to Worthing Audi to buy some euro plates for my car this morning. Plates need to be made, so have to go back in the week to pick them up - they'll be fitted FOC Oh, and the price? Under £25, so less than Halfords Great service and friendly staff - will definitely be using again Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 There was one more thing as well - should have confessed earlier Managed to take a chunk out of one my alloys last week, and make a bit of a mess of it. I had emailed them for a quote for a replacement (18" 5 spoke 'RS' style). The cost? £391 Chris, the aftersales advisor who'd emailed me the price recognised my numberplate as I was parking and offered to get me a quote for a refurb instead - great customer serice IMO Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Plates fitted this afternoon. And as a bonus they replaced the tax disc holder and keyrings as well Only a small thing I know, but a nice touch nontheless I thought - everything matches The whole car has now been re-branded from Cardiff Audi to Worthing Audi Alse booked in for alloy refurb in two weeks time, with free collection/delivery. Great service all round I thought Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nice to see a dealer getting it right - as you say, only little things, but you've passed on the word and will no doubt use them for a service etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes, will definitely use them for servicing our cars Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 After postponing for a couple of weeks (once instigated by them due to bad weather and once by me) the car went in last week to have 2 alloys refurbed. My partner managed to mangle another one a week or so ago After they'd been done the service advisor wasn't happy with them so, after calling me, sent them away to another outfit - something to do with the satin finish:confused: In the mean time they've lent me an A4 2.0T FSI S-Line SE as a courtesy car - I've had it for 5 days so far, and they're honouring the original quote Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Have you got any piccies of your new cab? I haven't seen any 08's yet, and looks like mine wont be delivered until middle of June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Mine's actually a '57 plate - I got it earlier in the year. There a couple of pictures in this quick review I did here: http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/showthread.php?t=107184 Someone nearby has just got an '08 plate one though; it's black (non metallic as far as I can see), and I did see one the same colour as my courtesy car on my way home from work; it doesn't work as well on the cab I don't think; the black roof seems to clash slightly, and I think the red roof would be a bit too much...

PeterS Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 BTW, when did you order it if delievery is not until June? I know lead times seem a bit long on cabs for some reason - I waited around 4 months for mine - worth it though Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorsy22 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) New to audi's and being from worthing thought I'd ask your opinion on a couple of things. Who/where are the best specialists other than audi worthing in the area and are they any good? Secondly have you had you cars serviced by them yet and if so how much? (audi worthing) Cheers Gaz Edited July 15, 2008 by thorsy22 Clearing up second question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi Gaz - welcome to TSN We've not used Worthing Audi to have either of our cars serviced; they've not done enough miles yet... However, based on their the stuff we have used them for (warranty work on the A3, number plates and a wheel refurb on the A4) and the helpfulness of the service and parts guys I'll definitely be using them for servicing. The A3 is due a service in around 5k miles, and the A4 in 7k miles. Hopefully they won't both end up being due at the same time As for specialsits in the area, again I've not needed one so have no personal experience; for my old E30 BMW I use a local garage in Arundel who have always been very good Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 finally got around to having a looky at ur pics, I have mine now too - looks like u have great taste in cars, mine is the same colour!!! Nearly wishing I had gone for different alloys now but otherwise extremely pleased ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Good news audi_chick, and great weather as well Do you have the standard S-Line 18" wheels? They're a bit too easy to curb IMO Enjoy the new car :D Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
