Default Just bought a second hand A8 D3 2009

I am based in South Manchester. Can anyone recommend a reputable mechanic who can help with any issues around the Altrincham area?

Should you be enjoying the car first before thinking of fixing it? Congrats on the purchase.
Cheers,
Louis

It's a used car, what service do you need? If it works, don't fix it. People tend to bring a perfect working car for service and come back with problems. AC problem, take to ac shop.

Ignore Louis, if it is due for servicing, go ahead and find a place to do what needs doing. Where to go depends on what you need. Some services are specific to this car, others, like the A/C can be done by most anyone with German car experience.
