Default Audi shop to change warped rotors.

I have this problem, posted in the A6 forum and need your help with local shop resommendations.

Carlsen of Palo Alto Audi dealer will not replace warped brake rotors under warranty. My 2001 Audi A6 has had the brake rotors warped repeatedly 4-5 times over the last 4 years. All previous times the work had been under warranty. Today the dealer claimed that Audi has stop this warranty and I have to pay for this myself. The car is still under warranty, but the dealer claimed that Audi changed just this part regarding brake rotors.

So I need a shop to do it for me, and please, don't tell me to do it myself. I don't even have time to go to my kid's Little League play.

Default I have an Idea...

Get some replacement rotors from STaSIS...you won't warp those. They will last a long, long time.

Default Thanks for the tip...

...however, I've looked at their site and they don't have anything for A6 4.2, and... as mentioned earlier, I'm very busy with my scrappy small start up, don't even have time to go to my kid's ball game, forget doing the work myself.
