Can anyone reccommend a good independant Audi repair shop in the Seattle area? I got a 2003 a6 4.2 that needs some work and I really don't want to pay dealer prices.

I live in Seattle as well. The best place is German Auto Clinic down in Ballard by the Fred Meyer. Guy works on nothing but VW/Audi and has been in business for a long time. He is very knowledgeable and will talk with you over the phone and give you a realistic estimate.

i.e. Wheel bearing replacement = $130
i.e. Timing Belt/tensioners, waterpump, seals etc = $800 or so.

Stay away from Fat City German Car on 5th in Downtown. Guys never give you an estimate or will even talk with you over the phone plus they charge more than the dealer.

 

I was giong to say the same thing about Fat City..
If you go to Tacoma, there are some real good euro shops

 

Futrell's in Bellevue is my choice for a great indie shop & is the local APR dealer...

Theres a place in Woodinville called Woodinville Sports Cars. Its right off of 522.

There's a mechanic there by the name of Travis S. he ONLY works on audi's, VW's, european cars. I bought his Audi A6 and it runs like a champ. Try that place.

prbayha where is that place in seattle that does the tune up and water pump? does that include like everything? i got a quote from futrell today for 1800 and went to the dealership and they said that i should go with them and then i went to the place i bought my car from and they said that they could do it for about a grand but 800 would rock.
