Very easy to get service and MOT done on my A3, just dropped off and picked up out of normal hours and everything else sorted out over the phone.

Had a mysterious fuel smell witch come and go on its own terms. Fuel leak was found and repaired for a good price. Also had a full service and brake caliper replaced. After going over my car fully they said was in good condition and needed no other immediate attention. Even went on to tell me about the common faults that occur with my car and what to look out for with advice on how 2 keep it in tip top condition. The guys there were very helpful in looking for my original problem ie the fuel leak there services were second to none at a very good price aswell. Would highly recommend them especially
