Re: Audi Repair Shops to be avoided!!
[QUOTE=zimzamy;111819]If you want a good guy dont go anywhere but eurospeed. Ask for jack they are so nice you can eat off the floor...QUOTE]
Well, that was true. I was a Eurospeed customer for years but now that they have sold their service operation to RPM (the guys who used to work for Eurospeed, just next door) they have SERIOUSLY gone downhill. They forgot simple things at my last service, forgot to put a service reminder sticker on my windshield like Jack used to do twice even though I asked explicitly for it, and lately were inexplicably closed for a week, didn't return the message I left.
My car needs service now and has since August.... I'm looking for someplace new.
I don't really want to go all the way to Etobicoke, Eurospeed was very convenient for me. Suggestions?

Re: Audi Repair Shops to be avoided!!
I have my own mechanic but deal with Queensway Audi at Islington & the Queensway in Etobicoke for more complicated stuff. I heard from other people not to trust Queensway, but really, I've always had a good experience with them. My biggest disappointment is one of the old guys that retired 2-3yrs ago. I brought the car in there more than once with stalling problems - the car would stall when I was coming to a stop randomly and the only tell tale sign was that the traction control light would come on. Leave the car for 10secs. and it would start right up on go on its way. The only one in the shop that could solve the problem was the old guy, (and he didn't even have to look at the car!) - clean the throttle body - no stalling ever since, >2yrs ago. I miss that old german guy...But I digress.
So far good honest work, on-time and good follow-up from the team there. They rarely do anything for free but they do what they say they are going to do and no surprises. They take the time to walk me through everything they've done and answer all the questions I have. They are pricey, but its an Audi. They are firm but I have been able to negotiate down the cost of a few repairs.
Not a glowing recommendation but I honestly have been happy to use them.

i was on the qew heading west when my rear tire went. it just happened the next exit was islington so i rolled right into the dealership. they put my car on the hoist, flipped my spare on for me at no charge. sent me and the family on our way. took under 20 mins!
above and beyond. and saved my hands from getting dirty!

Re: Audi Repair Shops to be avoided!!
OWASCO: in Whitby MUST be avoided as they are probaly where the Audi Downtown people learned how to screw their customers
AUTOHOUSE: have the personality of a shoe-lace when it comes to dealing with customers
PFAFF: I have heard bad things about them, but I have no opinion
AUTOBAHN East: in Ajax, Mark Earl is a BMW expert but he fixed (my A4) for $52 what OWASCO has F$%&ed me out of thousands! Autobahn East Home
Does this help?!

Never dealt with OWASCO service, but their body shop is very good. Got my S-line front prepped and installed there. Straightforward to deal with and excellent work. Very friendly people.
Also, Neil from OWASCO parts dept is a great guy to deal with.
Also dealt a lot with IndependentTuning. Amazing people. Bryan's no longer there, but Mark is also a great guy to work with.

Re: Audi Repair Shops to be avoided!!
I do all my service at Audi uptown two and half years now no problem nice ppl. Just don't do body work there because they send it to downtown auto collision where they lick *****. When my q5 got rear ended they forgot to re align one of my exhaust lol
