Dropped the 8 off at stafford yesterday, looked after by a nice young lady in the service department. Who looked the car over before I left ....I always insist on that after I had a car scratched!
Given a brand new Q7 s line for a couple of days which is very nice but no 8 the quality of the interior just isn't there for me, although it drives very well despite its size.
Nice little thing they do is send you a video of you car being inspected and what they have found, in my case they were pointing out the rear tyres getting near the limit which I knew they would. Also how much is left on your brake pads etc. They quoted me 270 a tyre but came down a bit when I told them I had already checked out the price. So eventually I agreed and they were 27 more expensive than the best quote I had. So for the convenience of just having them done and hopefully without marking my rims it's worth the extra. I did insist they don't use air tools as that always ruins the rims imo. The tyres are Goodyear F1's and have lasted fairly well 19000 I could have left them in for another month or so but this time of year I thought best to take no chances. I did ponder alternatives as the road noise is noticeable but alternatives were rated higher in the noise ratings, so stuck with what I know for now.
I am now hoping the manage to resolve the vibration on the rear shelf when the sounds are wound up a tad, which drives my daughter mad!
Meanwhile I will have fun driving my big van
