Have had service and repair work done by links very friendly team always polite on the phone and in person. Waiting room with drinks,snacks and onsite toilet. Have recently moved to a bigger site which I only imagine will only improve on a already nice experience
I’ve had the pleasure of using Links Garage on several occasions, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. Over the years, I’ve owned numerous luxury brand cars and, pre-Covid, I drove over 100k miles annually, which meant frequent visits to various main dealer centres, including Porsche, Mercedes, and Audi. I can confidently say that Links Garage surpasses them all by a wide... Read More
Great communication from the start, very well presented workshop and waiting area.
The work carried out was done to a high standard and completed on schedule as agreed.
Highly recommended.
Great Service. Diagnosed a difficult fault on our Audi Q5 and sorted efficiently. Be happy to recommend them.
Hey, Rick thank you for your time today you are a real honest man taking your time to explain the issue with the car. Appreciate it
Got a VW or Audi? (And soon any premium brand car)
Well, this is the best independent garage in Macclesfield.
Top marks, especially for their best technician Dan, for always being knowledgeable and helpful.
Had my Audi booked in for a service and unfortunately on the day was unexpectedly delayed. The guys at the garage were understanding and although caused them issues, still managed to rearrange their day to fit me in at a later time. Great service and would definitely recommend.
The people at Links automotive are very helpful, polite and easy to talk to. You can easily contact them on the phone and email. My four recent services and MOT went great and they were very clear and open about the report and the suggestions/warnings. They were also proactive on minor things (like changing the keyfob battery).
The prices are reasonable and it's local garage for me. I... Read More
Links Automotive are one company that go above and beyond your expectations. They have carried repairs to my daughter’s T-Roc. Our Audi Q3 brakes replaced. All carried out it a timely manner. When I phoned to ask for help with my son’s Audi they could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended. Thank you Links.
Always get prompt, friendly and efficient service. If any issues arise they are always explained clearly and carefully. No hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
The competence ,expertise and customer service at Links are first rate. I have run Audis exclusively since the early 1990s and am familiar with the repair and maintenance services available locally and Links are the best, having kept a 2006 RS4 on the road and running as well as ever.
Just picked my car up, I'm absolutely delighted with the work carried out. New water pump, front discs with pads and rear spring beds. My car has clearly been handed with care and attention to detail. Great communication from the garage throughout the whole process. Was good to chat to the mechanic who carried out the work, great chap.
Kind regards Chris
Over the course of several years, I have found Links Automotive Macclesfield to be an exceptionally helpful, polite, efficient and competent team, with fair and transparent pricing. They are my 'go to' company for servicing and maintaining my Audi A1. Highly recommended.
Fabulous service once again from the Links Automotive team. They really are the best so helpful.
We are very grateful to Rick, Rob and the team for fitting us in at extremely short notice when our car displayed a serious fault just as we were setting off on a long journey. The problem was quickly diagnosed and thankfully the part required was in stock. The car was repaired and given a full safety check to ensure we could safely complete our journey later in the day. The prompt and... Read More
Excellent service from a knowledgable team
Excellent service, highly recommend Links Auto! 5 stars 🌟
Good experience as ever. Glad i Found you..
This was the first time I had used this company after a recommendation from my son. The work was carried out on time, and they even found a way to deliver the car to my home when I was stuck for a lift to pick it up.
An efficient, competent and helpful outfit. A warning light issue on my elderly Skoda was diagnosed without charge on the spot, and fixed in the subsequent service. These... Read More
Great service from Rick and the team who obligingly squeezed me in to assess a brake fault and then remedied it there and then despite being really busy. I've used Links Automotive a few times and they've always been excellent.
My first visit to Link, and will not be the last. Very professional and confidence-inspiring. The work on my VW T6 was carried out on time, and a very detailed summary of the work carried out and vehicle status was provided. Will be using Link in the future.
First class service from Rik and the team at Links Automotive. I was travelling back to the UK with a LHD Audi. It failed and went into limp mode. The AA took it to a Audi main dealer who wanted to charge me 700GBP just to diagnose the fault with no promise that a fault would be diagnosed for this fee. To avoid this absurdity I took the car to Links Automotive and they diagnosed the issue (a... Read More
Great guys and incredible service. Can't recommend them enough!
Fantastic service, very thorough and the work is carried out in a very professional and clean environment. Solid advice and kept informed throughout the work being undertaken.
Highly recommend Links.
Just had my ageing VW serviced with Links. It was good to be able to discuss and better understand an advisory that they had identified. Very helpful and much appreciated!
When I checked my service book, I'd come to the last available page to record services.
It made me smile to see that they had photocopied and stapled in a couple of copies of the blank page before they filled... Read More
Links had been recommended to me for my beloved low mileage late model T5.1 camper.
Vehicle has a FSH and wanted to maintain that. Can’t fault Rob and the mechanics. Super efficient and you know they’ve done the job right and with VAG group parts. Will be back to service her again there next year. 5 stars all round
Great service, in particular Rob, getting the vehicle sorted over the Christmas period. Proactive and efficient. Straightforward pricing. Would definitely use again in the future.
I’ve had my first ever experience with Links Automotive today, and I shall be returning many times in the future.
I arrived somewhat panicky about an issue with my car, which was looked at instantly, diagnosed quickly and a resolution with in an hour, with myself on a short mission to collect a new part.
Links Automotive are a breath of fresh air, with all staff having an... Read More
Very impressive and professional company, Would highly recommend.
Links have looked after our VW California since we moved to Macclesfield. Great customer service and always happy to offer advice or answer any questions. Work has always been carried out on time and to a high standard. Cannot recommend Rick, Rob and the team at Links highly enough.
A very good experience (again) with Links. As always, very professional with their work. Always pleasant to deal with. And always reasonable with their pricing. I highly recommend Links Garage.
Rick, Rob and team were super helpful and friendly. I had an intermittent fault with my VW Polo and they went over and above to get my car fixed before Christmas which was very much appreciated. Excellent service, would definitely recommend.
Always give me honest impartial advice on an aging car with sentimental value
Had a few jobs done with Links and have been impressed with their specialist knowledge and quality of work. If you've had a VW or Audi for a few years I recommend getting them to do a full inspection as they might find things that other garages miss!
Fantastic customer service and friendly helpful staff, this was our first time at the garage, very quick turnaround we will definately be using again many thanks.
Was advised there were no curtesy cars available as planned however they picked my car up and dropped it off whilst I was at work. Payment link sent over quick and easy
Excellent and honest service every time - no hesitation in recommending Links Automotive
Just collected my VW Transporter Camper from Links, successful repair of electric sliding door that VW Van Centre were unable to fix.
Great job, completed on time and within quote, work undertaken was carefully explained on collection.
Thanks, Links Automotive, highly recommended.
Excellent, professional service from Rob and his team. Highly recommended.
Great service - Rob is highly knowledgeable and honest. Pursued cheaper fix that worked rather than getting you spend lots of unnecessary repairs. First time I’ve used them and will defo use again
I have been going to Links Automotive since 2020. I’ve consistently had excellent service in all respects: quality of work, excellent communication, courtesy, extremely helpful, totally honest and a pleasure to do business with. Great guys! I’d recommend them to anyone.
Excellent service, friendly and welcoming guys.
I had a " never seen before " issue with my VW Arteon that had been brushed off by the main dealer . I called Links who despite a full workshop offered to view the problem the same day and agreed to attempt my repair in during the next day .
The issue was resolved and my car was roadworthy again. Their expertise, competence and willingness to try and help their customer has compelled me... Read More
Fantastic service handled very professionally and competently. Highly recommend!
I took my car to Links for a minor service, at extremely short notice (i was messed around by a Seat Dealer) - I called Links and explained to Rob, who, amazingly, squeezed me in with 12 hours notice.
My car had a front assist radar issue which i took to the main dealer and the dealer advised they couldn't find the issue so they deleted the error out and asked for £89 to "diagnose any... Read More
Audi A3 Saloon.
After doing diognostic on my car it was a EDF filter/sensor and EML constantly on. Booked in for weekend Friday till Monday and repaired with Full MOT. Even got a little Polo to run around in while being done, that saved me a right pain in the backside. Im really happy I’ve come across these guys, got a good feeling from the word go and proven right. Won’t go anywhere... Read More
Quality service and quality work from start to finish. Have used Rick and the team at Links for many years now covering several vehicles. Can’t recommend the guys enough.
High end professional service
Links changed both the brake fluid and the Haldex oil in my VW Tiguan in a very efficient manner. They were very polite and approachable both on the phone and in person and charged less than the main dealership. I will definitely use them again,
very impressed by the work done by links, the staff were very kind, professional and supplied useful information before servicing and repairs. would highly recommend.
Links Auto have just completed some major work on my Audi. Superb and professional service. Their attention to detail and knowledge puts the dealer servicing in the shade. Thoroughly recommended.
MOT - smooth and helpful as ever.
No problems.
Also sorted out a constant velocity joint recently.
All went to plan.
Links Automotive Macclesfield were highly recommended to us by a friend and they didn't disappoint! We took our Audi Q5 in to them because it was having problems with the automatic gear box, they straight away did a diagnostic test and found the problem was a sensor, the parts were ordered and within two weeks the problem with my car had been fixed. Rob, Rick and their team were brilliant, and... Read More
The service at Links is second to none. The lads are friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. The workshop is clean and the reception is very welcoming.
Only just moved to the area so was looking for an Audi specialist to service my car that was able to keep the digital service book updated via an Audi login. These guys were absolutely top class and reasonably priced as well. This will now be my go to garage. Thanks Rick and team!
I had a problem with my Q3 quattro dashboard lights showing. Took it to links & got it diagnosed as needing rear wheel speed sensors as the problem. took the car in today 9.00 am - got called at 1.45 pm, job done, everything back to normal. collected it using the courtesy car provided. Absolutely no hassle and a very reasonable price. Highly recommended, Thanks Nick & team.
Links did a major service and MOT on my Skoda Superb in late July 2022, as always the customer service and work done was excellent, the personal touch they offer is first class. I used a main dealer previously, I was disappointed with the main dealer service, using Links is like a breath of fresh air. I strongly recommend them.
Had a clutch replaced along with rear brakes and tyres.
All work done on time and as per estimate.
Its great that you can supply a courtesy car.
Staff are very polite and its a very clean workshop.
Had the rear discs, pads and two new tyres fitted for the same price as the main dealer wanted just for the clutch repair.
Highly recommended.
Being new to the area, I was in need of a top quality garage to prepare my R8 for use again as it had been in storage for 12 months. Having seen the reviews I had the car delivered to Linksautomotive.
I’ve been thoroughly impressed by them.
Estimate for necessary work given before commencing repair/service, and a top quality job done .
My R8 will not be going anywhere else... Read More
