IFTY
A BIG LET DOWN. Bought a car January 2019, whilst test driving the car the front brake pads warning light appeared. Car shop Northampton stated that they will fit new brake pads and the car will be ready in a few days. Recieved the car after a few days. Took the car to Audi for a health check after a few weeks of purchase. Audi discovered that non genuine front brake pads were fitted AND the Front brake pads warning light, warning wire was removed, part of the loom had been cut down and the circuit had been bridged out so that the warning light will not come on. Did carshop technicians remove the warning wire to prevent the warning light coming on due to non genuine brake pads fitted? If carshop Northampton technicians did not remove the warning wire then why did they not pick up on this dangerous fault when the new front brake pads were fitted before handing it over to me. Any repair works done by Carshop Northampton technicians, please get them rechecked and retested by a reliable car dealership. Do not trust this company. A few weeks after the purchase of the vehicle, I also realised that the car was consuming high levels of oil. Therefore, took the car back to Carshop Northamptom, they did their diagnostics and stated that it's fine. Thereafter, took it to Audi and after their diagnostics, they stated that the pistons and piston rings needed replacing. In other words, a rebuild of the engine. A job that costs about £6000. Why did Carshop Northampton fail to diagnose such a huge fault? Wouldnt be buying from carshop again. Full of disappointments. Please think twice before purchasing a vehicle from carshop.
