Hi Everyone
Just had my car service and came here to share my experience...
It was done by none other than Skipton (Mike).
See... this was my first time visiting skipton, and I must say not only was the service WAY... cheaper than any other place I could find, but also much better, all my filters where changed, oil changed and long interval setup/reset.
I also got a diagnostic for free and the setup of the code to lock all doors after the car is moving as a bonus (I didn't even know I could have that)
Mike is a super friendly guy and very professional.
He kindly allowed me to stay around and ask about a million dumb questions about my own car... very patient.
He went through the car, doing all checks and filled the official maintenance list from Audi, for me to take as future reference, it turns out that the only thing I need to do ASAP, is change my brakes (pads & discs).
It's almost metal on metal at the moment.
All in all not bad for a 88000 car
All parts are official Audi parts too...
Manchester is about 2 hours from where I live (derby) but now it actually doesn't feel that far.
I know my A2 is really looked after and Mike will give you that extra bit of advice, that you normally don't get from a dealer.
It's also great to see someone so passionate about the A2 really making sure that you car is top notch in all areas...honestly.
I would like to HIGHLY recommend this service to any one, but specially people like me that don't know a lot about cars/A2's but would like the car to be very well looked after, whilst paying the right price for it.
You'll also come out with more know how with all the tips and also more confident, as everyone knows Mike's knowledge of the A2 is HUGE.
As a bonus I got to ride on the world famous Tank!, and I must say... all i've read is true, what an awesome piece of car. Felling a bit jealous actually.
Anyway, I am doing this because, after asking around for service quotes the prices of the dealers are astronomical, don't really seems fair, when you can have much better for less.
Hope Mike is ok with me putting this out. But Hey...I think it's too good to keep undercover.
Best
