I hope you will think twice before buying a car from them. Because they don't care about victimizing people just to make money. This is not a fake comment!
I took the car straight to my local Audi dealership for a health check as the gearbox was making a strange smell. They couldn't investigate the gearbox as the car was deemed unroadworthy by Audi due to 'shoddy repairs' amongst other things that would cost nearly £3000 to put right before they could even advise on the gearbox (reconditioned unit will be £3500). I immediately called Alshikh and, as I am over 200 miles away, we agreed to both get local quotes and meet him in the middle. He didn't come back to me with any quotes, despite me contacting him many times so I ended up taking the car back to him and rejecting the sale, but stupidly accepted the car back on the condition that he would carry out all of the work needed, and give me a 12 month warranty covering the engine and gearbox which I had to pay £70 for. It turned out that the only repairs that were carried out was a brake pad sensor and 2 lower arms (see audi report with work required attached).
I still have not received a copy of the warranty which I paid for in May, neither have I received a VAT receipt for the car itself, despite me repeatedly badgering him for these.
At the beginning of this week, I gave him notice that I will be contacting HMRC with regards to the VAT invoice and Trading Standards regarding the warranty if these werent supplied within 7 days.
I will be sending the car back on a flatbed and rejecting the sale.
VAT inspection incoming ALSHIKH.
Worse experience of my life. Car was lovely but only worked for 4 days!! Had nothing but issues with the garage. They ghost you and don’t communicate and leave you without a car and take ages to repay the money back. Never ever will I recommend or visit this dealer again. The car we brought is back up for sale and let’s hope they fix one of the issues that is £1000 to repair. Audi A6 black edition £14,500. Luckily the finance company has been heavily involved and managed to get all of the money back. I should have known when buying the car that all the red letter bills on the desk demanding final payments of thousands of pounds was a warning. Never again!!
