Hi Guys,
I'm new on this forum, so please don't be mad on me if I'm asking a stupid or repeating question. I'm looking for a good place in San Diego to get 75K service done on my AUDI A6 3.0L. The car has a CVT transmission, and to prevent any failure I got the transmission service done @65K. So, Im not going to change the tranny fluid at this time. What price would be a reasonable for the 75K service? Where to go? I'm not a rich man and can't afford going to the dealer.
Your help is much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

 

Im not familiar with what needs to be done to that particular model, but what all has to be done?

 

According to the service book, I have to replace the timing belt and check the ribbed belt (I would probably change it), replace oil and filter,dust and pollen filter, brake fluid. I think it will be reasonable to change the water pump when replacing the timing belt. I'm not sure about the thermostat. Do you think I need to replace it as well?
Please advise,
Thanks.

 

I have a C5 4.2 A6 and my 100K service was about 1500 bucks, pretty much everything that moves that's not inside the engine block was replaced. I did mine in Oregon, but I"m from San diego, I REALLY recommend La Jolla Autotech, He's the ONLY guy I trust when I was livinging in San Diego with my A3. The Owner/Tech guy's name is Lubo. he ONLY does Audi's and Porsche's and has been doing it for 25 years, He's like the Audi Encyclopedia. He won't bullshiat you and try to rip you off on anything and a very friendly guy. here's the info:

La Jolla Autotech
5770 Miramar Road
San Diego, CA 92121-2523
(858) 458-1022

 

Thank you, Audinam.
I'll give him a call tomorrow.
Cheers,

 

I have spoken with Lubo from Autotech and he gave me the price of $2,140. It's slightly less than AUDI Miramar quoted me, but still high price for my budget. I can't afford it. keep looking for somebody else with affordable range (~$1200-$1400)

 

I've never personally been to these shops but I have heard some great reviews about them.

One is called Group5 and the other is Exalt Motorsport. I think they both are located near San Diego.

Like I said, I've never been to those shops since I live in the LA area but you can try calling them and see how much they're asking. Maybe Audinam can say a word or two about those shops since he used to live down in SD.

 

Ive been to group 5 but it was just to get a bumper and a hood. Im not sure what they charge for engine work (i did my timing belt and water pump myself), but they seem to be decently priced.

 

I got a qoute of $1,130 form "Wolf". They are close to Convoy. Anybody on the forum who knows this shop, would you recommend me them?
Thanks in advance.
