I'm low on coolant so I have an appointment for Tuesday AND I need my 30k service so I am doing that while I'm here.

Is White-Allen Audi good, bad or run like hell?!

Have had the TT in 3-4 service visits. Car comes back clean with no damage. Can't ask for much more!

I havent been there since they built the new dealership, Gary was the service manager when i was there, he was really helpful working on my headache of a 944 turbo! If I wasnt an hour away from there, I would take my A4 there all the time.

I bought my '97 used from White-Allen, and while the car has had only a few problems, I haven't enjoyed dealing with them. In my experience they've been evasive and misleading, and I'm not going back. I can detail my experiences via email should anyone be interested.

OTOH, I've had much happier times with MAG in Columbus, and with a small Porsche shop (The Garaj) in Dayton (they also do VW & Audi).

MAG fubar'd the Cabrio pretty well when we took it in for them to replace a tail lamp lens after they broke it while replacing the trunk lock. Somehow, the car came back with a non-functional electro-hydraulic top, with some rather messed up wiring back there, but with a working trunk lock and non-broken lens.

Every dealer is gonna have good and bad remarks about them. Its inevitable, you can't please everyone, and sometimes they just plain f'up...

and I know tim white the owner of white-allen...

much less of a hassle dealing with motorwerkes than the dealer...

can get the car is quicker, for less money, and with better quality...

visit. I liked the guys there but a few other things like putting a hose on for the cruise control was $100! It seems hard to find a german shop that wont eventually screw you in the end.

And you won't have things broken that were not broken before you took it in.

Also - they will not rip you off and are extremely honest with what is going on with your car!!! Great to work with!

About 5 minutes down the road by Dixie and Dorthy.

I just turned someone else on to them who had a ton of bad luck with WA. There was always something else wrong everytime the car was picked up. I had the same experience. If I go back for a recall, I will not take my eyes off my car for a second.
