I dropped the TT off at Carousel Audi this morning for 25k service. While I was waiting for the next available tech, the lead service tech mutes his phone and practically yells across the room that someone will be with me in a minute, and calls me by name. Then, the tech I usually work with was just finishing up another customer gives me the 'I'll be done in a second' look and then waves to the guy that yelled like "I got him".
I left with the distinct impression that these service guys like me to bring the car by now and then for them to play with. They like hearing what I have tried or changed on the car... and I even feel that they like answering my odd questions.. like how hard is it to put a sunroof in a TT?
Anyway, How many people can say that they feel that their dealerships service dept is happy to see them? I'll pay a couple $$ more for that kind of service... but I am glad maint is still free on the TT. (it's an 04)
It's friday, I love my A6, and I love my wifes TT,,, and, right now, believe it or not, I love my Dealership.
....after my wife and kids of course,,, Wife & children first, then most of my family, then the A6, then the TT, then the dealership... and then the rest of my family. (some of my uncles & cousins are real pieces of work)
Happy Friday!!!

too bad I have to drive 100+ miles to get good service.
if Audi would cleanse itself of its bad dealers, then it would be a big diff.
MB service kicks arsch.

they quoted almost $400 for a CV boot, and the indy across the street (Audi/VW-only shop) is doing it for about half that price.
...the dealer costs more...
(that is for you DHP!)
...but I'll go to the dealer when my car needs repairs that are covered by warranty. But if on my own dime...probably will try to save a few bucks, but I will stick to Audi-brand specialty shops.

The TT is under warrenty, so nobody but Carousel will touch it until the warrenty expires.

and yes, it was the Sun Microsystems campus in the background, but I do not work there. This one is more generic, but has a bit of New England with the old brick and white church entrance.
I think this is one of my favorite pics, but I will avhe to retake this when I do the RS6 sides

do you work at the white house??!!!! j/k (reference to the pillars in the background)
we should have a contest here....take a photo of your car SOMEwhere that is 'somewhat' of a landmark in your home city (if it's a large one) and see who can guess what it's in front of.....pic must be 'recognizeable' but not too obvious!
