Comprehensive Convertible‑Top Care
With our specialist knowledge of the Audi R8 Spyder’s soft‑top system, we can accurately diagnose and rectify faults that a generalist garage usually would avoid. Every repair comes with a full inspection to ensure your roof stays trouble‑free long into the future.
R8 Spyder Roof Specialists
The Audi R8 Spyder’s complex folding‑roof mechanisms demand specific expertise - something most dealerships and general garages simply can’t match. Our dedicated team has over 20 years working with high‑performance convertibles, making us one of the very few workshops fully equipped to care for your R8 Spyder in the UK.
Cost‑Effective Repairs
Because we focus exclusively on convertible roofs, we find and resolve mechanical issues far faster than a general garage, saving you time and money on every job.
Same‑Day Service
In most cases, we’ll have your R8 back on the road with its roof fully serviced before the end of the day. The only exception is when specialist parts need ordering, though we always stock the most common items for a fast turnaround.
1 year Warranty
Every repair is backed by our 12‑month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind that your convertible‑top restoration is built to last.
All Roof Faults Covered
No matter what your R8 Spyder’s roof is doing (or not doing), we can fix it. Simply complete our online contact form or give us a call to arrange your appointment.
