Default Reputable Audi independant garage located in NW Wales - any recommendations?

Hi forumers,

Our A8 needs a few niggly electrical gremlins sorted. We recently moved to Llandudno and I wanted to know if anyone on the forum had any good experiences with garages located in the NW of Wales?

Thanks in advance,
Mondie

Hi,
Have a word with Mike at M+S Automotive in Builder Street West (opposite the football club). They have done some good work on my Audis and on a reasonable hourly rate.

Thanks Graham, I will do just that. About 10 mins walk from our house too, that would be very handy

Cheers

Excellent thank you Goran. They are indeed 50 miles up the road and with a good rep. Think I will try the local garage vagdream recommended and then go to them for a service and anything the local is unable to sort.

Cheers

Update: Took the car to M&S who were unable to nut out the various faults, however, they did do the MOT and fix the broken sunglass holder. The price was right and the service was good, would recommend for general car work if you are Llandudno based.

On the recommendation of someone I trust I took the car to Chris Lewis at Llandudno Junction last week. Chris was able to rectify all of the issues for me and as I had originally suspected, he confirmed that all the codes were related to the original brake pad warning fault thrown up a year ago. I now have a fully functioning car again.

I cannot recommend Chris highly enough, very professional and no BS. rates are very reasonable too.

Nice to know that there is someone useful in your area.
I am often down there and handy to realise that there is a fall back option if anything urgent crops up.

Glad to hear you got the car fixed and some good feedback on Chris who is located even closer to me.
