Decent garage
Any recommendations for a decent mechanic around London to work on A8s that won’t rip you off or leave you stranded? I think my one has a small leak.

Can highly recommend VWAudiTec in Chelmsford, where I live. All ex-VW and Audi master techs, they know their stuff, will tackle big jobs with aplomb and aren't out to rip you off.

Depending which side of London you are and whether you're happy to travel South to the boonies, David Schofield is a member on here and will tackle just about anything. Crawley based with easy links to Gatwick for trains back to the smoke

I would agree with Adrian E recommendation of DSAutowerks in Crawley.
David Scofield come highly recommended and has looked after my car since I have owned it So much so, he has my D2 S8 in for a Major service today.

Cool, what sort of price does he charge per hour? Or is it a fixed rate?

He charges £50 per hour, plus the dreaded VAT
His attention to detail though is second to none. Not only did he carryout a major service for me, he checked and advised of any potential problems looming, not covered under the Major service work. Would thoroughly recommend him to all Good clean working garage as well He also has his own D2 S8 and is a member of this forum David

My S5 is going in for a service with David next month, including new discs and pads all round, brake fluid, supercharger and aux drive belts
There's a recommended suppliers section on here where garages have had recommendations - it's a mix of service/repair and general parts recommendations, but worth a look http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=2 A
