Default LA peeps: how is Royal Motors in Beverly Hills as far as service/repairs?

Seems like BH Audi doesn't know how to fix anything on the first or second try.

I STFA and found nothing on Royal Motors, but these guys seemed alright when I got some wheels mounted recently.

Said they'd accept my aftermarket warranty, and i have a major coolant leak, worn control arm, and god knows what else.

Anyone have any (semi-)major work done there?

thanks!

Default they don't do warranty repairs "unless it's worth their time"

and apparently an $800+ repair "isn't worth thier time" for the paperwork...

so last time, Mike told me he'd give me an invoice to send to my warranty company... only it took him over 6 months of me calling, texting, emailing, sending certified mail, and showing up in person, and he said I was wasting his time and causing problems because I kept asking him for it.

Now I'm out $800 for somethign my warranty company would have covered. And he thinks i'm the a-hole.

No thanks.
