Any Recommendations For An Audi Service.

[Bramleyboy]

I live in Devizes. Miles from any Audi garage. I have used Swindon but the service and costs are a joke and it’s 25 miles away. I need a full service, the keyless car does not recognise the key and needs resetting (actually it’s very easy) and the particulate light has just come on. I rang Swindon and they quoted £425+VAT for a full service, and were very particular to state the price. They couldn’t quote for the other problems- had to see them. They also need the car for at least a day!! What should I do?

I've found National Tyres to be pretty good - they do fixed price servicing (with one or two add-ons). Of course quality may vary from branch to branch. Other than that I go to an independent garage just up the road. He does a proper job at fair price. Never had a dealer service.

I ran an Audi A4 for about 6 years.

Interestingly, the Audi UK website doesn't list Swindon as the location of an official 'Audi Centre'. The nearest to you (23 miles from central Devizes) is given as Bath Audi. Perhaps it might be worth giving them a call? (01761 438300).

Possibly a better bet though might be to try the Audi VW Centre, just down the road from you (5 miles or so), in Chippenham. They're not listed on the Audi UK website but their prices look competitive to me:

Thank you Bueno. I never thought of them! Bramley

For the particulate light, I think you just take it for a long run and get it really hot.
It needs a damn good thrashing.
