I would never buy a car from AUDI Warrington dealership again. Nothing but problems and false promises made by the sales executive who was very new to role.
I am not local to Warrington so was travelling back and forth when I was given dates that they couldn’t meet for my vehicle collection. The used car I purchased had sold to someone else even though I had put a deposit down on it so they then found me another car of a similar spec but more expensive. When I asked why a car I had placed a deposit on had sold, they advised “the deposit does not secure the vehicle” what is the purpose of the deposit then? After purchasing my second choice vehicle, I was then left on hold for weeks due to a ‘SOS fault’ they could not release the car until this was fixed- therefore I am unsure how this car was Audi approved to begin with. After waiting weeks for the car, they advised this was fixed in workshop and would not be a problem and I could now collect car due to safety checks been completed. Since I’ve had the vehicle, the warning light for SOS system comes on several times and my media and screens completely cut out. Providing absolutely no reassurance that the problem was fixed. Why was my car delayed if the problem was not fixed? If it was ‘fixed’ then it was very temporary. When the SOS system fault kicks in, it completely stops the media from working also and the dashboard which is fully electronic goes black. This was the reason they couldn’t release the car to me and weeks later, it’s suddenly a problem again.
On top of this. They took 3 months to clear my outstanding finance as part of a part exchange, leading to missed payments affecting my credit score. Requesting to speak to a manager several times and the message never been passed along. The sales rep I dealt with conveniently never been in. I finally spoke to a manager Adam and fair play to him, he had cleared my finance the next day after I addressed my concerns. However still unsure why I was told for 3 months there was an issue with part exchanges but manager Adam had no idea about this problem and resolved it. The only useful person I have dealt with at this dealership.
After having the vehicle 4 months now and having numerous issues- my rear handle has no completely fell off. Opening the door as normal and it comes off in full. I have a feeling this car was involved in a crash previously which is causing all the problems I’ve outlined, however this car was never listed as Cat S. after reading online, it appears it’s a common issues with Audis, however how can a car which is not even old or showing any exterior signs of wear and tear have this level of malfunction.
After getting advice from another Audi dealership in my area, they suggested that the delay and lies in me getting the vehicle, they felt this was a ‘red flag’ and sounded to them like there was bodywork damage that they needed to fix but did not want to tell me. My concerns as addressed above and that I feel I was missold and also had no sense of after sale either.
I requested that in my documentation it stated that they had offered me 2 free services and 2 free MOTs, I requested this several times with the sales agent and she said she’ll send it over, I still do not have this.
I’m so disappointed as this was my first big purchase after getting rid of my first car. I hate complaining but feel it is very much warranted for the experience I have received.
I have lost all trust in this dealership to not only fix the problems I am having but to actually address them in an empathetic and understanding way. All they say is “bring the car down, we’ll take a look” and not actually address the concerns I have or own up to the errors made throughout the process. As mentioned at the start I am not local to this garage and so it is frustrating when you trust an issue to be fixed and it isn’t.
I am unhappy with my car and the entire experience relating to it. I wish I purchased my vehicle from the Preston or Liverpool dealership after having much more positive experiences there.
I do hope that no one else receives the treatment I have had or receives a faulty vehicle.

Excellent facility and great staff. Faultless.

All ok, did mot at short notice

All good no issues

Much better customer service. Rather than me chasing for a response.

Andy Craig done his upmost to help to me and made me feel welcomed. He proved that Audi can be reliable when people like Andy are on the team

Service and visual inspection carried out professionally, and hassle free. My car collected and left with same model courtesy car.

Bought an RS6 in July 2024, paid in full to the value of £100K!! Never received V5C. Transpired that they had never lodged with DVLA so car remains in their name. And as if that incompetence and negligence isn’t enough, I have spent the last five months trying to get them to lodge with DVLA and transfer the car to my name. I have dealt with just about every member of the sales team who keep promising me they have done it but then when I speak to DVLA nothing has been lodged. I have reported it to Audi Head Office with no success. I have contacted the store manager who doesn’t respond. I can not fathom what is proving so difficult for them to just follow out their responsibilities of selling a car! This is still ongoing! Tax is due again in July and we will not receive the reminder as it’s not in our name!!!

It was a quick service. The staff were friendly. I was kept informed.

Efficient and excellent service.

Sophie was very polite and helpful

Great customer service as always!

Timescales and communication is horrendous .
I would not buy an Audi again due to the service I’ve received over the last 3 years

Very very disappointed with the service. Very unprofessional and irresponsible people work there. I called so many times for my car but Never update me. On top of that they messed up my car. Never ever recommend.

March 13th my car was booked in for MOT and inspection, the car was given a clean bill of health with everything in the green other than overdue gearbox oil change which has been booked in. roughly a week afterwards we had planned for a trip to Isle of skye so we made our way up to Edinburgh and then next day up to gairloch, but as we got near Edinburgh we could hear a slight rumble which was slowly getting worse, next day on the way to gairloch we stopped at a garage who told us it's the wheel bearing so we trued to get it into a garage but no one had available spaces for the work to be done, I done some reasearch and found that not only on a mot are your bearings meant to be checked but also on the cars health check, so two opportunities to find a small issue or potential fault with the bearing that wasn't picked up, and further to add I'm not sure the wheels where even removed to check, on the health check video audi send you the wheels are still attached which proves behind the actual wheel wasn't checked throughly, also I'm aware ways of checking bearings is to spin the wheel but 5 mechanics told me you can't do that as easy with a automatic as its attached to the gearbox drive system, so why not remove the wheel and physically and visually check the gubbins and bearings to make sure no seals are worn etc, because they've given me a clean bill of health when actually it wasn't which is now going to cost me money to fix because the mechanic couldn't be bothered to remove the wheels and throughly check the workings of the wheel where all ok just a good thing I wasn't doing a roadtrip into Europe

Competent informative and friendly staff.
