Can anyone recommend a decent shop in the Olympia area to service a A4 1.8t?

Have the work done by the mechanic named Count. (srsly)

Price is on the higher side, but they generally seem to care about what they're doing...

Makes me wish I lived farther north sometimes where the "good" shops are!

They used to be on Pacific Ave., recently moved out to Mud Bay Rd area; I haven't been to their new location.

Another vote for Foreign Autoworks. Ward has been working on my cars for years.

They were about a block down from the Ford dealer.
