I had been looking for an Audi A4 Avant 13 or 14 plate, ideally a Black Edition 1.8tfsi to replace my 2007 A6 Avant Le Mans 2.7tdi, due to the impending expansion of the London ULEZ, for some time. When I came across Continental Car's silver 2013 2.0tfsi quattro S Line with a spec higher than a Black Edition at a price matching my planned budget, I couldn't ignore it. (especially as the price had just been reduced by £500) I called Richard Rolfe, who politely answered all my many questions about the car, service history, previous owners, warranty etc. and sent me some additional pictures of the interior. Richard also explained the "Click and Collect" process in operation for car buying in these difficult times and the consumer safeguards they contained. On this basis, I went to Continental Cars to "collect" the vehicle, subject to agreeing a suitable PX price for my A6, something which was done quickly to the satisfaction of both parties. The car was immaculate and just as described by Richard with full service history, V5 document and some extras which I wasn't expecting ... Weather Tech front seat car mats ... worth over £200. The purchase process was completed with the minimum of fuss and and in a professional no-pressure manner. Despite the fact that the brake pad warning light came on after we had agree the PX and, subsequently a wheel bearing has gone, Richard's after Sales service has also been excellent. The rear wiper motor started leaking water within 2 weeks of my getting the car and, as it was so soon after purchase, the RAC warranty folks refused to cover the replacement cost. I contacted Richard who, without a quibble, had a new motor fitted as soon as I could get the car to his garage. Jon, his mechanic even gave the car a wash while it was there. Overall, a great experience from a thoroughly decent dealership. I can wholeheartedly recommend Richard Rolfe and Continental Cars. Be interesting to see how much he gets for my A6!

BEWARE OF CONTINENTAL CARS !!! They have little on no knowledge regarding the mechanical aspects of the cars they are selling and no on site facilities to check them before sale. Just over a month since since purchasing a Mercedes SL 350 from them the car was serviced at a reputable independent Mercedes specialist with only 370 miles covered since purchase. These are the true facts of the condition the Mercedes was in at the time of purchase. 1. Front brake pads 90% worn and discs badly scored. 2. Rear disc pads 90% worn. 3. Front lower suspension swivel assembly broken. 4. Rear drivers side brake caliper seized. Bear in mind the vehicle came with a new M.O.T. With not one advisory regarding the above items ??? Due to the serious safety issues with the vehicle I had no choice but to have the vehicle repaired immediately as there were serious safety issues. I have tried twice to email my concerns and findings to Continental cars but they have totally ignored me, so I have passed all details onto Oxford Trading Standards and wait their reply. I hope all that read this review will share my concerns about Continental cars and be careful about buying any vehicle from them without a thorough mechanical inspection.

Bought an Audi RS6 that I rejected due to a number of mechanical faults the dealer failed to mention during the sale, within 2 days there was oil over the driveway, the dealer took weeks before trying to arrange a repair in which a number of garages refused to repair the car. The oil leak had been an advisory on its previous MOT 21k miles ago. 3 weeks on the dealer has the car back and the log book is still in my name with my road tax he hasn't sorn the vehicle or registered him as the keeper to remove my tax. I advise anyone looking at the red 09 RS6 to get an independent mechanic to look over this vehicle as 21k miles is a lot of miles for an engine with the sort of performance the RS6 has to have an oil leak.

Overall the Continental Cars in Reading are good. The only problem is the after sale. Brakes were sticking and there was a sensor fault. I'd call them up and they would often not pick up and when they did they told me I needed to speak to a different bloke who was never in the office, felt like they were passing the buck to be honest. Problems turned out to be small, got it sorted myself at a BMW garage. Don't get me wrong they are nice guys at Continental Cars, just when I'm spending that sort of money I'd expect a bit more customer service. I would recommend this car dealership for their cars they have for sale that I saw, they've got some beautiful motors.
