Anyone in or near the London area ?? I have a 2007 A4 3.2, Looking for others in the area

 

I am a member in the London area, 2003 A4 1.8TQ looking for a good Audi repair shop other than the stealership.

 

If you find one let me know as well.

 

I'm in London aswell. I'm going up to H2Sport this weekend. Kinda far but I'll let you know how much better it is than the dealerships in London. Hopefully it's worth the drive.

I have an 05 A4 1.8T.

 

Hi, I'm from London as well. Just bought a 2009 a 4 3.2, but bought it from Audi Uptown in N. Toronto (Markham). I'm planning to service the vehicle at Dalmar in London for convenience. Can anyone tell me what their experiences have been like there?

Milt - did you get a factory warranty with your car? Does it cover scheduled maintenance?

I have had my car to Dalmar for a few things - window regulator, brakes, coolant leak fix, and scheduled maintenance. I will not be taking my car back there simply because it is way too expensive. The guys do good work but the dealership premium you pay is unnecessary.

I just got back from H2Sport in Georgetown and it was worth the drive. Very cool guys and they spotted something the dealership didn't. Fully recommended and a little cheaper than the dealer in London. The only drawback is the long drive from here.

 

ENAK -- Thanks for your response. I have Audi Care which covers all scheduled maintenance up to 75,000. km. HP Sport in Georgetown sounds like a good place based on your experiences. Do you take your '05 a 4 there for all your servicing, and how far a drive is it from London? I may consider it, especially if I can't resolve a problem I'm having with my '09 3.2 litre V6, which is that I notice a slight hesitation during initial acceleration as I increase speed. Have you heard of this or experienced anything like it ? At Dalmar's they didn't think there was anything wrong when I visited their service department, although I haven't actually had the vehicle in yet to let them have a look. It's also been suggested to me that the hesitation may be a function of the drive-by-wire system, and that it's simply a matter of getting used to it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Milt

 

I haven't had H2Sport do all the maintenance to my car. If my car has a problem other than maintenance I usually just call around to a few places to compare prices. I usually call the dealership, Autobahn motors on Wharncliffe, Dynamic Performance on Exeter Rd and a few other places.

H2Sport is in the same building of the VW dealership in Georgetown. It took me about 1.5 hours to get there but they helped me out with the price cause they knew I came from London.

As far as your 3.2L problem, I am not familiar at all with that model. Sorry I can't help you with that acceleration problem. Keep asking around on the forum and someone is bound to help.

 

Thanks for this, I'll keep pursuing it. By the way, I had a good experience with Autobahn many years ago when they rebuilt the engine on a Volkswagen beetle I then owned. Did an excellent job and didn't charge an arm and leg, although I have no idea if the mechanic who did the work still works there.
