Default Stuttgart Autotech in Lake Oswego just told me they do not want your business.

I'll be happy to rant on this subject as well at our local Portland Audi Club lunch this Saturday. I debated between them and Matrix, and chose them on a friend's recommendation, but am now wishing I had chosen otherwise.

I was pissed a minute ago at the body shop. Pissed doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling toward Stuttgart.

Default care to rant here? I can't make it to the Portland Audi Club lunch. I would have...

but only one of my turbos is working, and the car seems much slower, even more so than Silver. :-)

Default They installed my coilovers. When doing so they placed my BBS rims on pavement.

The inside of the wheels are now scratched up badly. I called them to tell them about it, and mentioned the hit in resale I'd take based on the damage, and that I'd like them refinished. He told me I should have taken the car to Sunset (our local dealer, where he defected from a while back) instead and that they wouldn't install my coilovers anyway. "You mean I shouldn't have installed my coilovers at your shop?" Him: "Yes".

Uh, thanks? Sunset has never laid any of my wheels on the ground for that matter (or at least not w/o cloth or towels first).

I told him I'm frequently asked about referrals to shops in the area, and should I send people to Sunset or other shops? He said yes. They mainly work on Porsches, maybe the attitudes of their owners has rubbed off on them.

*rant off.

Default Volvos are safe cars. My ma used to have a volvo wagon until...

she drove it straight into a overpass pillar at 50 mph. not a scratch on her (my ma I mean, the car was totalled). I say you drive that V70 through the front door of their building. Hey, it's a rental anyway right? ;-)

woah :0. Is there an Ingolstadt Autotech around. Their attitude sounds very much like Rusnak's.

If they didnt want to come out of the pocket for the damage the have caused on your wheels, and not just any wheels , they were BBS's. ****, dont take the hit for thier ****-up. Fight!
