Come on, let's have it then

Ok - something I think would be really useful...

A sticky thread or a table (continuously updated) of independent Audi specialists for servicing/repairs...a table would be better, organised by region area so ypou can quickly find specialists in Cumbria, Manchester area SW London for instance without trawling through a load of posts.

14 years ago we bought an A2 - fantastic car! We had it serviced by an official Audi dealer for the first 4 years but, as you know, that gets expensive.

I ran a Merc as well at the time and we had a brilliant Merc & BMW independant less than a mile away but I couldn't find an Audi equvilent.

About  that time our Audi service center had twinned with Bentley so visiting the service area was like walking into a Park Lane hotel - all marble floors, pot plants and yachting magazines on the tables with hospital operating room cleanliness and logoed mechanics in crisp clean overalls  that seemed at odds with the vehicle lifts dotted around...very nice don't get me wrong but you could feel yourself sweating £50 notes just walking in. 

I had the A2 belts serviced at a recommend all-makes garage and although they did the job they totally screwed the service indicator which lit up with so many faults afterwards I'm sure I saw "Code B3838 Ashtray Full" as one of them...main dealer had to rectify this and I never went back to the "all makes monkeys"

So I tried the (then) Audi A2 Forum and innocently enquired of a SW London independent....The replies I got were the most unhelpful and snotty I ever got on an owners forum...Basically a lecture on the fact I should use official Audi servicing and the very idea of going to an independent  was shocking and deviant behaviour  akin to wanting to murder the Archbishop of Canterbury.... Thanks guys, no effing help at all, so I left the forum unsurprisingly.

So thee you have it... a list of independents please/

Oh and if anyone knows good independent(s) in SW London I would be most grateful if you let me knoW!!!
