funny i never realized that in 10  years and many audi's and vw's ive never
been to the dealer for service... in nor cal theyre also known to be
overpriced at best and incompetent at worst.

2 friends with tts4's reported huge reliability improvements when they went
off warranty and stopped taking the cars into the dealerships. at 2
different dealers. it's a shame they cant get the service right.

 my gf's 05 4 runner which holds about 8 quarts of oil goes in for a $35 oil
change at toyota and they wash it and serve cappucino. audi stealers want
$90-110 for the 4.5 quarts of synth the a4 takes.
