Avoid this business, the after care is non existent.
So this will be my last review of this garage as my year of 'alleged' warranty is up and I'll never do business with them or Sytner again.
My previous interaction was to try and get a coolant leak resolved under warranty. They wanted £600 from me for diagnosis and couldn't tell me whether I would get this back or not (that didn't cover the fix). I took it to another garage, they diagnosed it for free and put a £8 bottle of Radweld in to fix a tiny hole they found.
My latest interaction was to get my MOT renewed. At the point of sale I was assured I would get a FOC MOT and that any issues would be resolved under the warranty.
I've tried to book in for an MOT and been told there is no free MOT on my account. I agreed to pay the £55, however there are no appointments until well after my MOT is expired. My resolution was take it locally and then bring the car to Derby to have it fixed. I was told there were no appointments (or loan cars) until May and I would have to pay for diagnosis as they wouldn't accept an MOT fail as a reason to fix the car.
Avoid this garage and the group. Scammers.

We have a problem with the heating in…
We have a problem with the heating in our Audi Etron. The car has been to Audi in Derby three times. The last time we waited 3 weeks to have a loan car to be available as they wanted to keep our car for 3 days to sort out the problem. There was absolutely no communication with updates on progress. The car came back to us on Friday afternoon and over the weekend the fault persisted. The garage say we have to wait another 3 weeks until the 31st of March for another loan car while they have our car for a week to diagnose again and fix!!!!
Appalling customer care, appalling sympathy to the problem and we now have no faith in them sorting out the issue at all.
The whole issue is a nightmare especially as we are in the Spring months and we need heat in the car. We have to layer up and wear gloves the car gets so cold. To confound things hubby has a problem with his back and is awaiting surgery, whilst this is going on and he has a three hour round trip to work every day!!!!
We would not recommend this garage to anyone. We feel let down and angry with the whole affair.
Update.
Thanks for the reply.
I’ve already sent an email to Simon as much good as that will do. No reply yet.

Abysmal Service Department
I took my car in for a 1-week (as quoted) repair in December and had to drive down and take it back in February as the repair still hadn't been completed. Leaving me without a car, and unable to get to work, for 7 weeks. They weren't bothered in the slightest about it.
7 weeks to replace a wheel, hub and brake caliper, all of which amounted to a day or two's labour at most, but it took 7 weeks!
They would leave the car sat in their car park for days at a time without even looking at it. On one occasion it sat for 9 days waiting to be inspected again mid-repair. They then look at it and park it back up again until they have time to do anything on it. Every time the response you get is "well.. we're busy". While also booking new customers for the following week despite holding onto existing customers' cars while not looking at them.
I was told I would get my car back on Friday every week for 7 weeks, only then to have to chase them to find out where it was, and be told I have another huge bill as they've found another problem they couldn't see before - all felt very scammy.
You make a complaint, which goes directly to the manager responsible for the awful service, who is already well aware of the situation. They tell you everything they are doing is completely normal and imply you're being unreasonable for thinking 7 weeks is an unreasonable timeframe and they will do nothing with your complaint.
Had to chase them every single time to find out where my car was. "It will be looked at Tuesday", I leave it until Thursday, expecting to have been updated by now, and then chase AGAIN to be told it hasn't even been looked at yet.
This review doesn't do justice to the shocking service they deliver, and the complete lack of customer care. There's a reason the service department gets the most negative reviews - take yours elsewhere - Sytner couldn't care.
Que the generic response from Derby Audi about contacting another random person who couldn't care less.

Have never owned a car so awful
Have never owned a car so awful.
I’ve had my E-tron for little over a year now and there’s not been a month where something isn’t wrong with it.
Within the first 2 months £10,000 worth of damage fixed after a wait. Shortly after the paint work on the bumper is peeling. Derby state ‘WE didn’t paint the bumper’ and after a huge back and forth finally decide to sort the issue.
Cameras for wing mirrors are a big no no they fog up and render them useless. Then Audi have the cheek to say a gesture of good will we won’t charge to repair them.
The service between Audi dealerships is awful the worst I’ve ever seen. Clearly don’t talk to one another when trying to resolve an issue.
The car is now in the garage for the 3rd time this year total damage costs over £15,000 now.
Audi UK have said nothing they can do I have to pay up.
Worst thing is the car doesn’t even charge at Gridserve and Applegreen chargers on the motorways says isolation fault every time. Ironically I have to use Tesla as they’re most reliable.

You have to be kidding me Derby Audi
I purchased my A3 from new, which is now out of warranty, from Derby Audi using my debit card.
My vehicle recently required a part and I was told by Derby Audi parts department, and their management team, that I was not able to order the component from them over the telephone (NB paying with the same debit card I purchased my vehicle with).
My car engine is in bits and you tell me I have to make my way in person to your parts department to order a replacement component !? You have to be kidding me.
So, I phoned Nottingham Audi, who were extremely helpful, and when I have no history of doing business with them, placed my order and would even have been happy for me to order over the phone with just a deposit.
How likely am I to buy my next vehicle from Sytner Audi Derby?
Staff personable, however, processes and procedures need seriously reviewing

Paul Phillips - 10/10 service
Paul Phillips has been amazing with me and my partner Luke, I first spoke to him in August 2024 discussing changing my car, then came back to him in September and he was so welcoming and made sure to tell us everything in detail and make us laugh. He kept us informed every step of the way when the new car was being built and made sure to check in. I will definitely be coming back to Derby Audi as the whole staff and Paul have been incredible and looked after us.
Thank you Paul for being amazing and for talking me into the new district green colour (I can confirm I love it)

Great service from Paul when I purchased my Q3, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately there was an issue with taxing the car on the day of collection but Paul kindly delivered to my home later in the day to avoid me waiting. Having never had such a computerised car Paul was very patient explaining everything to me! Thank you 😁
