I am taking my Audi A4 2001 1.8T (Manual) to the dealership since my car has a ruff cold start and makes my CEL blink. I heard they have a recall on coil packs so I am going to get those replaced for free and while I am there I am going to get an alignment done because I heard only dealerships can do those because of a special tool. What are your guy's thoughts of other procedures I should get done while I am at the audi dealership since its a 1 hour drive from my house? Stuff that maybe they can only do...

 

Alignment is the only thing I'd get done at the stealership. Or any free stuff.
You can get it done at a lot of other places too. You should only go to a shop that specializes in audi's or a racing oriented shop.
