I finally got my Audi back from the body shop and man does it look great. The shop said it would take a week but it ended up taking almost 3. They had me so pissed off but now that i see the car it was worth the wait. I'll get some pics posted up tomorrow cuz it needs a wash and im bout to take it out for an extended drive.

 

what happend?

 

some old b1tch ran into the back of me and sent me into the car in front of me.

o and i spoke too soon[&o] the car has to go back to the shop tomorrow. I took it out for a good 50 mile drive and i noticed a few things wrong. First the car would stall at some intersections and my foot is all the way down on the clutch. Then the CEL came on. The A/C would cut out and back on randomly, seemed like there wan't as much power as before, and the car ran pretty hot(between the H and the middle). They had to replace the radiator and the pulleys and stuff so im guessing they messed up somewhere. Their parts have a 3 year warranty, and if i need it fixed because of something they did i get it done free, so im taking it back tomorrow. Does anyone know what might have caused the problems? Here's the receipt for what they did to the car.

 

Jeebus 290 a headlamp? I hope you ended up with ecodes or something... if this happened to me I'd have supplied some one piece headlights to them. I hope you did something... because 580 for 2 piece lights would suck.

Hope they find the problem, though... if it threw a CEL it should offer some help. Let us know when you get it scanned.

 

replacements for miine almost $580/EACH... I wonder if Audi did that on purpose? 4 is half of 8 MY headlights cost TWICE as much!!! CONSPIRACY!!!

 

You best be careful Jazz... I feel like you might be getting too close to something much bigger than we could ever imagine.

 

lol ya 290 a headlamp is steep but insurance is covering everything so it doesn't really bother me

 

Oooo... Good point. I'll use my "inside" voice, next time. shhhh!

 

I noticed line 25 - "Set up for realignment' - which is basically setting up the car on the frame rack and measuring everything to make sure the body structure is dimensionally correct. -- But there is no labor listed for any actual structure PULLING labor, to FIX any misalignment (Note; we're not talking about SUSPENSION alignment here)....So, I guess it wasn't TOO bad.

 

no the ones that don't have prices are labor charges. it lists the hours to the right and then on the next page it adds all the hours and multiplies it by how much an hour it costs. ended up costing me 2800 in labor 2871 for front end damage(page 1) and 800 for rear end damage. and came to $6984 total. with all that and some other charges for towing and stuff.
