In Columbus...
I have had mostly good luck with both dealers (Byers Imports and Midwestern Auto Group).
MAG has a longer wait time to get into and the facility is nicer. I think they charge more than Byers for some things but they have always been very professional.
Byers is closer to where I live so they have been willing to do things like drop my car off at home after service. There service has gotten better since early 2005.

In Cincinnati and Columbus
I use Audi Connection in Cincinnati, and they have always treated me well, and MAG in Columbus is also great.
I actually like MAG better for a dumb reason...they use email. I very often can't answer my phone during the day, so emails are very much a good thing.
The service manager at MAG (Marty) is much more visible and open than the Audi Connection, too, which I appreciate.
John Nowitzki at Audi Connection is great
and
Jason Busack at MAG has been fantastic.

Re: Mike, what's the problem?
I asked earlier, inconsistent throttle response is the best way I can describe it. Seems when it's cold, it takes off like a bat out of hell, when it warms up, it tends to drag, like it's starting in a higher gear or something, but it's not (according to the display). Sometimes it loses power half way through a left turn, like I'd let off the throttle, and I have to give it more to compensate.
It also sometimes refuses to crank until I hit the stop button again (I have the "advanced key" option).

Re: In Cincinnati and Columbus
Funny your comment about MAG, that's where I bought it and where I've been taking it. It is an intermittent problem, (at least the starting problem is), so that makes it tougher to find, I know.

I've had the keyless problem before
but it would happen when I didn't hold the button down long enough to start it...it gets confused then you have to hit stop, hold your mouth right and try it again.
What year is it?

Re: I've had the keyless problem before
It's an 05 swb. Hitting stop seems to reset it all right, I found that out. When it does it, using the key doesn't work, either, till you hit the stop.
I don't think I'm not pressing it long enough, but sometimes it seems that it depends on where on the button I press makes a difference. I told them I that (myself suspecting that the switch is flaky) but they get stuck on the "no code" thing.
