Any recommendations as to which Audi dealership in London / South is best to buy from if generally helpful staff and good aftersales service is my priority (certainly not Guildford (Lookers) from my experiences today, so keen for some advice...)?

Don't bother with Audi Whetstone. Went there a few years ago having decided to buy a Q5 and they were so awful we left after 20 minutes and went to Land Rover where they couldn't have been more helpful

Some of my London based friends gave up on south east dealers - and bought from a Northern Audi dealer (and got a good deal) and just used the local dealer for servicing. Under warranty it doesn't matter and sales/servicing are run as different lines of business in dealers anyway (as I understand it)...

My father has just bought an A5 through Audi Cambridge and is very happy with the deal and service.

I haven't found a good one in all of Kent yet - Maidstone, Hythe or Tunbridge Wells have all been awful at sales and parts (not tried Service at any).

My A8 had a FSH from Watford Audi - after performing my own service I can safely say I'd never recommend their services.

I tried to buy a spare key from Bexley Audi and wouldn't recommend them either...

I had good sales experience in Guildford and also bought some spare parts through them. I think it depends on a person you're dealing with. Can't comment on servicing.

PenelopaPitstop - any chance you would be able to let me know the name of the person you dealt with at Guildford (I've tried to PM you but can't seem to for whatever reason)?

Tom C76 - any chance you could do the same for Cambridge (not averse to buying from them if its means the service is good)?
Are you a former Caterham owner - I've just put a deposit down on a 420R!

Agreed, have just bought my 3rd car from them in 18 months and lets just say there are several main dealers between myself and Worthing!

I had a very good sales experience with Audi Guildford last summer, try asking for Simon Maynard.

I can't remember the name of person from Audi Guildford. It was some time ago. Not sure why my PMs not working, will check.

I too have just purchased an RS3 from Caffyns (Audi Worthing). Very happy with the service and delivery of my car.

The salesman stayed late on a Friday night to allow me to collect the car so I ad it for the weekend. He also gave my wife a present so she did not feel left out smile

The salesman I dealt with was Harry Leisk.

100% recommend the dealership.

Vindis seem generally Ok. I've had mixed experiences with the M25 Group, seem too variable depending on branch and who's working at the time.
