The only reason I let Audi anywhere near my car smile

I do have some fun though, betting with myself on "what things Audi report on their health check that need attention" vs "What Ricky actually think needs doing"!! Last year it was Audi £2,500 - Ricky £0!

Previous owner of my car posts on here & used them. GOod rep but no personal experience, I use The Phirm in Blackwater near Camberley as I can't get to Ricky around work / family - just a bit too far. They do a good job.

Another vote for The Phirm - great guys and looked after my R8 when I had it.

A bit of a trek for you , but there is an absolutely brilliant Master Technician at Audi Poole called Craig Johnson ........ totally knowledgeable , highly efficient , v v pleasant , and hugely enthusiastic.

I don’t have an R8 , but I scouted around the country , and seriously considered driving my KTM X BOW R back to the factory in Graz for its cam belt service .
Fortunately , i found Craig , and he did everything that I could have asked for .

V knowledgeable on the Gallardos and Huracans too , and has done quite a lot of intricate work on these Lambos too

I would prefer delaying a service or even skipping a service than allowing some unknown person having a go at my P&J .
I tend to hang on to an engineer-technician once I find a good one , and I am hoping to cling on to Craig .

In fact he has written a sub chapter on servicing .

I sent my R8 to Chelmsford last week for a minor service and MOT. I was really impressed with them.

No advisories on the MOT, annotated check sheet provided, webcam walk around and the oil had been drained from all 5 sump plugs.

I had an e-tron courtesy car whilst it was done. Was pleased to get my V10 back.
