(Per your response below, you have my contact details, I'll leave it with you to reach out.) I left my 242 Audi with your service department on Saturday, 23rd May, for a scheduled service. On my drive home afterwards, I noticed light smoke coming from the vehicle along with a strong burning smell. When I arrived home and opened the bonnet, I found oil sprayed throughout the engine bay, pooling on the engine rocker cover and around the ignition coils. Concerned that the engine oil may have been overfilled, I arranged for a local mechanic to inspect the vehicle. He confirmed that the oil level was correct, but advised that the engine had most likely been started without the oil cap properly fitted, or that there had been significant oil overspill during servicing which was blown around the engine bay by wind and the fan while driving home. As a result, I had to take time out of work this morning to return the car to Audi Sandyford. Your team acknowledged that there had been substantial overspill and cleaned the engine bay. However, I was disappointed to be told that “these things happen.” In my opinion, this level of carelessness should not occur during a €500 service, particularly from an authorised Audi dealer. The situation caused unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and loss of time from work, all of which could have been avoided with proper care and attention. While I appreciate that the engine bay was cleaned, I do not believe the issue was handled appropriately, and I feel that some form of partial refund or goodwill gesture would have been reasonable given the circumstances. Hence the review, which I really don't like leaving for any company. David

Friendly service, knowledgeable staff but car got scraped when in for a service. They've accepted it and will be fixed by their Carsmetic department at their expense so its not the end of the world, annoying but there's bigger problems in the world.

Amazing customer service and staff! As you can imagine, running into issues with your new car can come at much disappointment. However, what I must say is that the guys here at Audi Guildford went above and beyond to ensure that any issue was not only corrected promptly but with great care and communication! A huge huge thanks to Edward and the team in the service department and to Michael the General Sales Manager at Audi Guildford. I would recommend Audi Guildford to anyone. You will definitely be in safe hands here!
