How, by acknowledging our existence?

Thinking about it.....thinking........Hmmm.  Nope, makes no sense to me.

>Because only we have the factory-trained technicians, the latest diagnostic

Factory training includes 2 full hours of watching a video tape that explains
how not to look stupid when the customer catches you screwing up his car.  

>All backed by a 12-month...warranty on materials and workmanship.

Hell, the Ford & GM replacement parts are warrantied for longer than
that......

>Here's more good news. We've recently reduced prices on many of our most

Yea, parts that we often use such as battery retaining screws, dash bolt, and
seat rails.  WHAT ABOUT DOOR PANEL FABRIC?!?!!??!?

Better qualified to take you for a ride than any other shop!

>Your Audi Parts and Service professionals. We'll help keep your Audi all
Audi.

They'll keep my Audi all VW, part GM (climate control), part Porsche, and who
knows what else?
