Re: V8 timing belt, competent place to get it done ?

[Daniel Jones <captaudi@ma.ultranet.com>]

We are a little further away than 75 miles (maybe) but we are worth a call
at Wagner Motor sales in Boylston Ma.  I have done 20-30 belts on V8q's and
have rebuilt engines and replaced.  These are a tricky beast and can lead
to disaster if not done properly.  (yes we are an Audi dealer).  If you are
interested call us at 1-508-869-6766 ext. 225 and we can give a quote and
talk about it.  By the way when was it done last?  as the service interval
is 60k and anything more is borrowed time.  If the belt fails I believe the
repair is around $3400,  so don't wait too long.

Good Luck.
