Just posted this thread in the a4 b5 forum http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...timate-look-OK and what told to look for people local to me who could help me out.

My car has been doing some mild shaking at light breaking which i assumed was from needing rotors up front. Last week my check engine light came on so i took the car in to have the codes run and the front end looked at. What i assumed was a minor problem has turned into this I really dont have the money to fix this at the shop right now but need a vehicle to get to work asap. So does this estimate i have got look half way decent? I am very decent with my hands and have worked on my first vehicle a 1999 chevy silverado a fair ammout but have almost no idea when it comes to working on these cars. Knowing that is any of this stuff i could research and watch some videos and attempt in my garage? Would this help lower my cost at all?

Hey guys, looking out for the forum members, I will be doing a special on details through the month of May.

Process is simple. I come out to you (garage, shop etc.) you provide an outlet and I get to work. (currently moving into a bigger shop which we are remodeling so I'm out of a place for now)

2-step, Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by Clay, Polish, Sealant

only $100 (add 25 for suv)

3-step, Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by Clay, Compound, Polish, Sealant

only $150 (add 25 for suv)

If paint is in critical condition I will give you a quote in person.

Add $15 for gas if 10+ miles from 60016

only premium products used for detailing no cheap work here. been doing this for 6 years but I'll let the pictures prove that.
