I have user Star Performance a number of times both for my B5 S4 and for my RS6. He's a good guy. He fitted H&R suspension and Movit brakes to the S4 and he did my last timing belt change on the 6. He's probably the best we have in Scotland. I've tried garages in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness. Star Performance have a 4 wheel rolling road which allows remaps to be acurately checked.

I'm from Dumbarton, and have just had my car serviced at Unit20.

If you want your car to be looked after by an expert, then Grizz knows his way about these RS's better than anyone in Scotland, and I know, I've been to most of them, including Audi dealer, Star Performance & A for Audi.

Hi
I'm dumfries area, and Jim at Star perfomance is quite knowledgable. I went to Grizz for my suspension and remap. Is anyone looking to have little Scottish contingent going here with the odd run out?

Hi Iain, he's not much use if you have any problems, he put the fact that my RS4 had a noticeable lumpiness on idle down to 'characteristics of a V6' engine, when it was registering misfires in VAG-COM :shock:

I'm from Hardgate originally, so know the 'history' of Gracies garage

Drove down Friday evening, and stayed with a friend nearby. Then serviced on Sat, and drive home Sat evening.
