Especially with cars like the RS4 it's always worth going a few miles extra to a garage that knows what they are doing... which most (but not all) Audi dealers do NOT.
Thats actually frightening... they all should if they sell them. !!!!

You obviously have much to learn about Audi dealers... if you expect ignorance and incompetence you will not be disappointed, so when you come across exceptions (like Camberley Audi) who know the product and have proper technicians it comes as a pleasant surprise.

I was reading the GT-R owners manual today. They really focus on the importance of their HPC (High Performance Centers). Will let you know if it really differs from the RS service. I believe Alpina has a similar select dealer policy.

Same with the vxr8 - only 20-30 dealers in the country allowed to service it.
