Audi Garage in Norwich that isn't Robinsons?

[anonymous-user]

Hi - can anyone recommend an Audi-orientated garage in Norwich? I need the cam sensor replaced on a D2 S8. It isn't a huge job but one I can't do myself.

Thanks.

I've used Yelverton in the past and I must admit I haven't been massively impressed.

I visited Clive Atthowe a few months ago regarding a possible rolling road test and tune up and he did his very best to make it sound like the most tedious job in the world. A lot of sucking on teeth and saying as the car is four-wheel drive it's a pain to strap down; it's an old car so seems a bit pointless; it won't make a difference to the performance etc. Does he want paying customers or not?! All I wanted was a tune to keep the thing running well.

Basically is there a garage in or close to the city that you'd recommend?

I might give them a try, they're not too far away. Thanks.

I've heard nothing but good things about Clive so I was surprised by his attitude.

I appreciate I wasn't asking for nor expecting to end up with a 500hp monster but all the same, at be polite when telling a customer that you're not interested in doing the work.

I can see his point..... No offence intended I would have thought a new set of plugs, an oil change and an air filter would be the best tune up you could give it if it needs any of those things

Totally agree - but it's the manner in which you tell the customer you're not interested that matters. Anyway...

I took my RS6 to the PH rolling Road day and Clive didnt mention anything about the quattro causing problems strapping it down.

I wouldnt intentionally use any Robinson's owned garage due to many previous bad experiences on their VW, Merc and Audi dealerships.Know quite a few in the same boat. However Darren seemingly loves them and they love him

Because it was an old car and I didn't want a lot done he was doing his best to say 'You're wasting my time and your money'.
