Default reputable socal dealers?

the mk2 definitely has my attention and, since ive never owned an audi before, wanted to ask what socal dealers you guys recommend for not only sales, but long term service.

im coming over from bmw b/c none of their current/upcoming offerings excite me like the e46 m3 did a few years ago. sure there's performance, but i dont want to drive around in a camry look-a-like. the tt would be for my wife but its got me excited enough to drive it myself. im looking forward to testing out the DSG since im use to driving an SMG. the mag-ride also sounds nice so it'll be interesting to compare it to my pss9s.

i just started lurking recently and have noticed great support and enthusiasm; it's always exciting when a new model debuts. so thanks for the informative posts and pictures and i'd greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.

Default 2nd the recommendation on Nate and Penske West Covina. Service is also top-notch according to others

I've got a S-Line on order from Nate. The dealership is also is mod-friendly and they carry lots of add-on stuff.

These guys are Audi enthusiasts and it shows. They had a canyon run/ meet and great back in April and the special guest was the new Audi R8.

Compared to a dealership like Audi of Riverside (California), whose Audi business seems like the red-headed step-child of the group, Penske is at the other end of the spectrum.

Default paid him a visit this weekend

nice new premises, tho parking was tight.
they have a large view into their service bay so you could keep an eye on your baby while they service it. there were a couple modded cars on display so seems theyre mod-inclined. took a quick test drive with nate, who was multitasking but accomodating, in a 2.0 and was quite impressed by the s-tronic. will have to go back so wife can try it out. hard part might be deciding on whether to wait for quattro option to become available.

Default Any chance that the 2.0 coupe you drove was Ocean Blue w/ lots of options?

My original order couldn't be altered to S-Line, so they have my original spec car which is 2.0T Coupe, Ocean Blue, all options but phone & parking.

Jeff
