Meet the Team - Paul - Parts Manager at Poole Audi

At Poole Audi, our Parts Department is the backbone of everything we do, and at the heart of this operation is Paul, our Parts Manager.

A Day in the Life of the Parts Department

For Paul and his team, no two days are ever the same. “Every single car that comes through, whether it’s a brand-new Audi needing roof bars or an older model requiring a new gearbox, passes through the parts department.”

The team is responsible for ensuring every car has the correct parts on time, keeping operations running smoothly and customers happy. From managing stock on the shelves to sourcing hard-to-find components, the parts team ensures the business functions like a well-oiled machine.

Supporting the Service Team and Customers

A key part of the role is supporting both the service team and our customers. Paul explains, “We make sure all the parts are either here on the shelf ready for the customer’s arrival or ordered by the fastest means possible. This allows our service team to complete maintenance or repairs efficiently and gets our customers back on the road quickly.”

Whether it’s a simple brake pad replacement or a major engine repair, the parts team is always working behind the scenes to make sure every job runs without delay.

What Paul Values Most

For Paul, the highlight of his role is the people he works with every day. “I really enjoy working closely with the team, helping them grow, and tackling the day-to-day challenges that arise. Seeing them succeed is incredibly rewarding.”

Paul’s Favourite Audi

When asked about his favourite Audi, Paul doesn’t hesitate: “It has to be the B7 Audi RS 4. A high-revving V8 that delivers everything you could want from a car, it’s a true RS and an absolute thrill to drive.”

Behind Every Audi at Poole Audi

From sourcing essential parts to ensuring smooth repairs and servicing, Paul and the parts team are essential to every customer’s Audi experience.

Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services UK. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services UK, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services UK may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.

At the end of the agreement there are three options: i) retain the vehicle: pay the optional final payment to own the vehicle; ii) return the vehicle; or iii) replace: part exchange the vehicle, finance subject to status.
