With that being said, I haven't been able to find a shop that's willing to do it. I was wondering if someone could help me out either this weekend, or sometime next week.

I finally made an account after purchasing a 2010 S5.

I was wondering if any of you guys have purchased an extended warranty from the dealer. I think they offer Audi Fidelity Warranties. I am still under the factory warranty. Has anyone done any research/have experience with them?

I was quoted at various dealerships and I got it down to 3,000 for the Audi Platinum coverage for 5 Years 60,000 Miles.

Also, I have tried researching the best dealerships in the area and it seems to be changing all the time.

I hear silver spring is the most mod-friendly, does anyone have contacts there that would help out and offer genuine advice?

Thanks in advanced,

I'm from Meadville, PA. A small town about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh, and 30 miles south of Erie. I have a B5 S4 on TiAL 770s, and I'm in need of some help, unrelated to my own car.

My sister has an A4, 2.8 tip Avant that she's suddenly having issues with. Personally, I blame it's previous owner and the other shops in the area that have NO idea what they're looking at, and treat it like any other car. I need to send her to someone reputable, that's not TOO far from town to have it looked at, looked over, and figure out it's oil consumption issue as well as getting it back to perfect working order. She's at her wits end and is about to throw in the towel. She loves the car, but is feeling that it's suddenly gotten too maintenance heavy. I explained that it's the nature of the car til you get it back to black (caught up on maintenance).

So what I need is a few shops that are good, professional, reputable, and quality places for her to go to to have it looked over. This is all I need. Unless of course, you can diagnose the issue she's having right now from what I just explained.

Please help.

Guys,

So I have been on a mission to find someone around this area that can take my metal/exhaust ideas and put them into action - however, haven't really been able to find anyone. I did come across MBS (Mandrel Bent Solutions) but they appeared to be very expensive even for the simplest jobs (I am sure they do great work - just not in my budget). I decided to look around Craigslist and being very skeptical went out to meet a few guys to look at what they have to offer - but - everyone was literally a joke.

Then I came across this guy: Custom Secrets & Fabrications
Address: 706 N East Street, Frederick MD 21701
Phone: (240)793-2602
Contact: Doug Ward (Owner/Fabrication Specialist)



I took off the two mufflers off my 996 and took it to him to get the "Fister D" mod done. I figured this was a fair "test" job. Doug took them in - told me everything and more I needed to know about mufflers, welding, metals, fabrication, etc etc.... I think my head was spinning at one point in time because of the amount of information he told me. He also recommended different ways of approaching the mod (i.e. best ways of running the pipe, pipe diameter, and other mods that I may wish to consider for the mufflers). After this the man went to work. Took him a simple two hours to turn these back around to me - but the mufflers look absolutely fantastic! He put in some stainless steel pipe that he bent specifically to my mufflers. He took the time to make sure both of the mufflers are done IDENTICALLY the same. Lastly, he double welded each of the seams. End result for my "Fister D" muffler mod - I couldn't be happier! He put in some 2.25inch pipe as he thought it would sound best - and they sound amazing Oh! and this cost me 1/3 of what it would of cost if I sent it to FisterD - that is a few bucks over $100 including tax

Here are some shots of the mufflers from my 2000 Carrera 3.4L that he worked on:










However, it doesn't end there --- We spent a good two hours before and after the project discussing his background. He showed me around his shop and showed me some of the impressive projects he has been keeping busy with. This guy has been doing this stuff for years upon years. He's got all kinds of special equipment including benders, drills, and machine equipment that I have never even seen in my life. Hi background is also quite impressive - not only does he work on cars, motorcycle (and has a pocket bike with nitrous on it ) but he also does beams for high-rise buildings, lifts (he built a few of his own cranes and lifts in his shop).

He does a lot of other automotive stuff as well that I saw and was impressed by:
1. Supercharger and turbo kits (He's got a Trailblazer SS pushing a tad over 600HP that's supercharged and built)
2. Engine builds
3. Powdercoating
4. Fiberglass and body work (The fiberglass on that blazer is from 4 different kits that he is molding together)
5. Regular automotive maintenance (Oil, brakes, timing, etc.)
6. Transmissions




Currently he is working on a Chevy Blazer dragster for which he fabricated 100% of the tube chassis himself. Also he's working on a full cage for a Camaro which unlike all other cages will be NHRA legal while still allowing for 4 passenger seating!





In any sense - I'll be taking a ton more stuff up to Doug to do. I am looking at getting a roll bar for my 911 (tequipment like: already discussed it with him and he can do it easy for 1/2 the price of the tequipment bar), Bypass pipes for cats on the Cayenne, and probably a full exhaust for the CL600.

I thought to share my great find! Doug and myself connected very well. He's trying to reach out to the automotive community however is not involved with forums. I told him this is pretty key and he said he'll hook anyone up that comes down to him and drops my name (Paul)

Hope this is helpful!

Although I am out in the Pacific Northwest, I got a chance to visit the DC/Maryland area this past weekend and went to the Cars, Cars & Cars event hosted out at Bretton Woods in Germantown, MD.

I took a fair number of photos and wrote up a blog post about it.
