More then likely they have dealt with your warranty company before and probably even dealt with the same field adjuster on previous customer claims.
1. You, the customer must approve tear-down on the car to determine the problem(s) <b>Note:</b> If the claim is not approved, you are financially responsible for the labor, etc.
2. The indy shop writes up a quote for repairs (parts, labor, etc) and submits it to your warranty company.
3. Your warranty company will send out a field insurance adjuster to verify the claim, and either recommend or deny coverage based on his/her findings.
4. If approved (fully or partially) the indy shop should contact you and update you on what the warranty company is willing to pay (usually a flat amount. I.E. $4200).
5. The indy shop starts repairs, installing K03's, K04's, RS6's, etc and writes up the invoice.
6. Your warranty company is billed the agreed amount from step #4, and you just pay the remaining balance.

was only willing to pay for the blown turbo and I had to pay for the second, including all the necessary hardware. They covered the install but in the end I was still stuck with K03's. Apparently there was no way to get them to let me have any upgraded turbo's installed. It would void the whole warranty is what the shop claimed (dealer).

What about the factory issued paper that said turbos should always by replaced in pairs. It was around about 1.5 ys ago? There is no question that Audi reccomends both at the same time. I think?

didn't cover. Yeah, in hindsight I would not have taken it to the dealer. Yet for such a big job I wanted to make sure it was someone who knew a little about doing it.
