Has anyone dealt with Vedi ?
What are they like re : servicing and car sales ?
do you guys recommend them for both ?
Cheers.

You'll find Karl Verdi is a deity on these boards. He's one of the few in the exotic car world who really knows what he's doing. I've used Verdis for both sales and servicing and will use them again.

Heard a lot of very very good things about them - a lot of people know and use him over on ferrarichat.com.

I've heard some good things.. and some bad things

[bebbesen]

I use Verdi for my car. Carl is the man. he know's what he is doing.
I appreciate the fact that you can call with the smallest of question (how to jump start) or anything else for that matter. Had a part sent to me abroad as I was stuck after Carl briefly discussed the fault with a Danish mecanic and knew exactly what to do. Impressive stuff and a level of personal service found no where else.
I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else.

The thing that clinched it for me though was the first time I brought the car in for a service on a Saturday.
There was no one in the garage, plenty of cars being worked on but no staff to be seen....
Until I realised all the mecanics and Carl where watching F1 qualifying in the tea room

Do not hesitate to use them

Just bought a car off him - certainly would recommend him - doesn't seem to be any bullsh1t about the man, very easy going.

Can't wait to go back and see him on Saturday and pick the 'new baby' up

[Davel]

Photos please!

Oh and I've heard good things about them too...

[tonyhopkins]

Top bloke, no BS , you get exactly what is says on the tin with him.

[murph7355]

Another big thumbs up.

Now if only he liked classics, and would stop moaning about how hard he has to work

[EK993]

Cannot say enough good things about Verdi's

They did my PPI, Cambelt service, a couple of bits and bobs and Karl has helped out with lots of stupid questions of mine over the past year!

Always willing to help even on the smallest issue, they are all extremely knowledgeable down there, and won't try to fleece you for work that does not need to be done.

I was down their this morning getting my battery checked out, and as always Karl was a top stand-up guy.

Crikey, has it really been that long

Back in the UK soon. Must arrange to meet up at some point and see how you're getting on.

Last me know when you are back, can meet up for a beer.

Was saying to Karl this morning that I probably have jinxed my luck with the car - as I was telling him how lucky I had been as apart from the major service and a couple of really minor bits absolutely nothing had gone wrong on the car - so told him to expect me to return on the back of a recovery truck later in the day!

Erik - If you fancy a trip up norf you could join us on the Northants run on the 27th? Be good to have another 355..............even if it is the old mans variant, eh Murph

And Verdi's are excellent. Kabir even delivered my car back to me as i wasn't able to collect during the week. In fact i should be able to post a clip tomorrow of how my car sounds now they have worked there magic on it

I'm sure you've told me that story before but its just fantastic!

Karl will be my first port of call when its Fez time

[DJW]

Karl is the man, makes the main dealer network look overpriced. Same or better quality and much cheaper.

Yep,I use them and they are great.
I wouldnt use anyone else and highly recommend them.

I've had a windscreen replaced by a main dealer and they were absolutely piss poor.So in this respect you dont get what you pay for.
