Jools Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Priced the timing belt, tensioners, auxillary drive belts and water pump at three different places, a week ago. Independant £1053 Stockport Audi £1055 but if you book it in today we can do it for £900. Huddersfield Audi £731 all in, pick it back up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Might be due to the dealers realising they are missing a big trick n servicing, and want a piece of the pie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnArtist1 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 80k service & belts: Audi 1 = £1003 Audi 2 = £950 Audi/VW Service centre = £730 but she didn't even ask what car it was???? I gather having an official 'Audi stamp' is very important for re-sale, or is that a load of sh1te? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed the code for the radio - S.A. said I'd need to book it in... Chester Audi got it for me in 15 minutes while I waited.....and for no charge!!! Years ago I had an S3 - three visits to them to get a problem (rattly exhaust when wet) not sorted (was fixed first time by the Audi dealer in Sheffield)... Your choice as they say.....

IT_S8 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Huddersfield Audi £731 all in, pick it back up tomorrow [/ QUOTE ] I've had the same thing at a main dealer for sub £600 notes, but mainly because they know me and I've put quite a bit there way, but nontheless it proves they've got lots of room to move on the rediculous 4 figure quotes... I find it works well to squeeze them a little, but be really flexible on scheduling, leave it with them a few days etc so they can fit it in when it suits them, and always mention you've 'got a good quote from xyz..' , they dont really want to lose your business....

alera Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Stockport Audi are absolutely shocking I am afraid. Mine has just been in there for its 40,000 service and they refused to do the mot as the needed a months notice..... It then took my 40 minutes to get out of there (Had blocked my car in with 4 other vehicles and it took forever for someone to come out and move them. Also had a bad experience with their body shop. The didnt respray the whole rear bumper even with defects pointed out as they "Didnt want to mess with the parking sensors" My advice; avoid like the plague, only problem is lancaster audi are meant to be even worse... With all this said I think sub £800 for a cambelt change on one of these beasts is not bad for a main dealer cosidering the amount of labour involved. Its worth the extra £300 - £400 for the protection of main dealer and resale........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostKiwi Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 But then again, would you really want Stockport Audi to do the work??? On my experiences and what you just posted I wouldn't... God only knows what shortcuts they'd take and bodge up..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
