Default Where to get servicing in Vancouver?

Hi:
My car is 02 A4 3.0 quattro, it has 110,000km now.

I'm wondering too! Searching online, I've found

Vancouver West Motors
275 East 6th Ave
Vancouver, BC
Canada, V5T 1J7
Phone: 604-683-0813
www. vancouverwestmotors. ca

But when I called, their prices are close to dealers. Shop rate is $90/hr and an oil change will work out to be around $120!!!

Anyone know of any other places?

(some keywords in case people are searching: warranty over mechanic service shop servicing vancouver)

sorry, my bad.
110,000 km

Did you guys do "Sliding Roof- Clean, lubricate rails" regularly?
according to the maintenance schedule from Audi, it is best to do this for every 30000km.

my roof now is starting to making sound...

it doesn't take 30k for mine to start making the squeaky noise. More like a month or two after it's cleaned. When you clean it, spray some silicon lube on the seal around the sunroof. It will help.

If you consider opening your sunroof as a DIY, then yes it is. LOL

No, it's not that complicated. Open your sunroof, get out of your car, and look at your car's interior from the top through the sunroof.. you should be able to see the two rails on the opposite sides which your sunroof slides on.

As for the silicon lube application, tilting the sunroof will expose the rubber seal. HTH

That's ridiculous. Audi of Richmond can do an oil change for roughly $100. I'll look into my service invoices if you need to know the exact number.
