LOL, no better than KF mate.

Go and sit in their carpark for 10 minutes and watch them scratch their heads trying to change a light bulb or a wiper blade. Funny as

I did that with a parcel company and I noticed this.

Bumping this thread from the depths but National Tyres are quite competitive on oil changes only. A few years ago I had them do an oil change on my Mk 1 Audi TT and they did it within an hour with no advisories for extra work.

I've recently put details of my 3.0 TFSI D4 into their website and they quoted a very reasonable £40 for Fuchs Titan plus an extra 10% off with one of their discount vouchers. I know this oil is pretty decent given that Opie Oils seem to recommend it regularly. Not sure I'd be happy with a National stamp in the service book though.

And there's your problem, nor will anyone else when you come to sell, depending on age etc you're wiping off £500-1000 of its resale value

Stick to a reputable specialist or Audi dealer, or, if you plan to keep it forever, DIY it
