Whenever you come with your Audi to visit us here at Marriott Audi -including when having a MOT or servicing done- we will be more than happy to conduct a rigorous health check on your Audi for Free.
This complimentary offer will allow our staff of Audi approved technicians to conduct a safety inspection of all the vital components in your Audi. To give you a sense of the health of your car and how important any work needed is, we will give each issue a rating of severity; red, amber or green. Green will mean the issue is not an imminent threat, amber means an appointment should be made to fix the issue soon, and red means the issue is hazardous to you and your Audi and should be fixed immediately. This will also include an Audi Cam video sent to you.
What's more, when you bring your Audi in for a complimentary health check, we will also give you a courtesy car wash, so your Audi can leave looking fabulous.
If we do identify work that needs doing to your Audi, you no longer need take our word for it. Thanks to Audi Cam, we can show you any work that your Audi requires with a concise explanation.
Our expert technicians will be able to record a brief video of the problematic component in your car and send it to you, which you'll be able to view on your computer, smartphone or tablet. You will also be able to authorise any work that is required so you aren't caught off-guard with any unexpected costs or duration of work.
How Audi Cam works:
1. One of our Audi trained technicians will carry out a free health check on your car
2. If any work is required, they will film a short video
3. You will receive a text or email with a link to watch the video
4. As you watch, you will be told about any work that they recommend
5. If you are happy to proceed, you can authorise the job there and then
As the weather begins to worsen and the driving conditions become more hazardous, it is important that you check the condition of your tyres. Your car tyres are arguably one of the most critical parts of the car, and provide the connection between you and the road and are vital for your safety when driving.
We recommend that your car tyres are checked regularly and changed when required, it is a legal requirement that there is at least 1.6mm of tread on the tyre and that your tyres do not have any defects and are fit for purpose. With monthly checks of your tyres you will be able to identify any problems.
At Marriott Audi we have a selection of approved Audi tyres available that have been specifically designed for each Audi model to ensure performance, comfortable ride and most importantly safety. Additionally, we also offer tyres suitable for any make or model of vehicle. Make sure you're ready for the winter conditions with our range of winter tyres which are now available to purchase and can be fitted too.
TREAD
It is recommended that your tyres are changed before they are worn to the 1.6mm legal limit, and we recommend replacing with 3mm of tread left to ensure your safety especially in wet weather conditions, as worn tyres can reduce your stopping distance.
To check, you can either use a tyre depth gauge or a 20p as a guide, if the outer rim of the coin is visible when inserted into the groove, then your tread depth may be below the legal limit.
CONDITION
When checking your tyres make sure you check the condition of the tyre for bulges, cuts, objects in the tread or deterioration of the tyre including cracking.
These could all be problems with the tyre and could potentially indicate that they're no longer safer, and we recommend bringing your car in for its free tyre check.
AIR PRESSURE
It is important to check the air pressure of your tyres as it can affect the handling and braking distance, plus correctly inflated tyres also last longer and can help with improving fuel economy.
Use an accurate pressure gauge to check the pressure, it is recommended you do it when the tyres are cold. Your pressures values are normally found in the vehicle handbook or on the inside of the fuel cap.
