RE: Got the '92 100 CSQ and any Seattle mechanic recommedations?

I have been taking my 4000q to Bothell Import Service for 2 years and aside 
from some minor nigglances they do a good job for a very reasonable price.  
Lyle the owner is very knowledgable about Audi's.  Has a party every year and 
2 people with ur-quattros showed up last year.  Are they lurking on the list?
If you want to know more I can e-mail my experiences to you personally.
I have no financial stake blahblahblah.
