Hello all, if anyone actually reads this. I came across this site trying to find out if anyone knew when the winner of the A4 Sum of Parts Challenge winner would be announced, but I can't seem to find that info anywhere. I was hoping I'd win, because I want to purchase a new A4 but right now I'm still in college and my car ends up sitting in a sh*tty garage in downtown Charleston for hours everyday and I live in a condo right now with no garage, so I don't want to put a brand new car in those situations. Also... anyone in here from Charleston, SC??? I moved here from the San Jose, CA area recently and miss the audi dealership out there soooooooooooooooooooo much. I hate the dealership I have to take my car to down here. Now, I know this might seem like a very girl thing to say, but they don't even wash or clean out the interior when I take it there. And if anything ends up being wrong with my car (I have a 99.5 a4 quattro) so it's at that age where stuff goes wrong, they take it apart, put it back together, call me and tell me what is wrong with it and that they'll have to order the parts for it (which will take 2 weeks) because they obviously don't stock anything other than oil and some coolant, then have me bring it back in, take it back apart, then make me pay them the hours it took to take it apart twice. The time's I've had them replace two interior pieces that were scratched (the plastic below the gear shift, and the arm rest when my dog accidently broke it) they put in parts that don't match. I am very sad, and was wondering if by any chance in h*ll someone lived down this way that could recommend someone else I could take it to. If you could, that would be excellent. Also... any other girls in these forums? Seems like a lot of masculinity in here. It's interesting.

 

Welcome Lauren - wish I could point you to a better place to take your car, but I'm MN.

[Reply to Message] Thanks... no problem, I thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone could assist me. I'm not having any luck down here. I love my car, but.... I'm either going to have to upgrade soon so the warranty still exists or get a different car. I hate these people so much, and i'm normally pretty laid back, but they just **** me off so much. When I test drove a new A4 2.0 a few weeks ago, instead of telling me what all is in the car, they take me through it pointing stuff out like "this is the stearing wheel, here's the cup holder, brake on the left, gas on the right".... i'm like "ok you dipshit, thanks a lot, don't know what i owuld have done without you". I don't know what I'm going to end up doing. I'm going to be down here till I graduate (i'm 22 right now) so I guess it's going to be a long ride.... and probably a lot of arguments.
