[RAVI]

is 690 a good price? (would have to drive down to Monterey for that)

[Daddy MO]

What about Freddie? Also remember to do the water pump and tentioner at the same time. Oh hell... just get rid of her already and get the new A4 =)

fapodaca: How much for the timing belt and waterpump service. you can PM me Thanks!

[AudiRob]

yup .. count me in that GB install for TB

[PerfCafe]

IF you guys want to line up a couple cars to roll down here and do like a weekend of TB services we can work out special pricing. We usually charge $450 for the install ... I know the dealership here charges anywhere between $1300-1500 for the 6.5 hour job. Parts & labor. All service is performed by James Wright, Master Tech ASE certified as well as former Audi/VW shop foreman to the Cardinale Dealership so your cars will be in good hands!! PM me for more info!

[a4wd]

So whats the deal guys? lets set a date so we can all get good deals on TB GB!!! I AM DEF GAME but just need a heads up so I can work it into my schedule...

[a4wd]

If this does indeed happen, we need to set a time/date. I don't know where the rest of you guys work, but I work @ Enterprise in the Oakland airport, and I have some off the wall work times. Like right now, I am working from 1230PM-1130PM!! And its SUNDAY!!! AHHH But luckily I can get on AZ with our limited internet access. Hence the reason why I am slowly posting more !!


Also, is this only good for a 1.8T kit or are any audis included in the GB?? And I trust my car completely with Freddie. He is definitely the man!! Oh and Freddie I still hate Diablo with all my heart =) Hope theyre not messing wit ya

[AudiRob]

count me in

[fapodaca]

THE WAY I PLAN THIS TO GO DOWN IS ONE WEEKEND, 5 ON SATURDAY, 5 ON SUNDAY OR 5 ONE SATURDAY AND 5 THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY.......
RAVI, ON THE CLUTCH I NEED AT LEAST 1 OR 2 DAYS. TO HOOK THAT UP.......

[a4wd]

Cmon people pay $1000+ @ a dealer? Or have a trusted Audi certified technician do it for nearly half the price? GET ON THIS BAY AREA AZ!!!!

[Bee Five]

East County European Autoworks is the only place to go fellas! I had my DP's and a few other things done there, service and work is top notch

[jsten]

Depending on what date and location, i'd be down. We know where this is going to be? Happening soon i hope.

[RAVI]

the shop is located in brentwood about 30 mins from you..

[a4wd]

jsten get on the list buddy!! Freddie is the man!! He has serviced my car before and Ive never met such an honest professional. $600 is unheard of for a timing belt job around here~

$600 for parts and labor. daaayeemm that's a great price right there. i should have waited for this.

[fapodaca]

I'm really open to doing group buy work. it makes sense......
Anything goes: diagnosis, mods, services, brakes, etc......
just post and i'll quote as needed.......
my normal charge for a complete b6 1.8t is $1000.00
for you az's i'll always honor a $800.00 price.
but for a one time gb $600.00 is a smoking deal......
i'm losing a bit........
but you guys and girls are winning.................

[A4Avant02]

Let me know when this gets on the calendar. I want in on the deal!

[fapodaca]

How many do we have Ravi?
I'm ready when you are!!
