Mechanic in a DC metro accessible area

[pkny]

Something went wrong with my power steering tonight. All of a sudden the car started shaking and winning when turning the steering wheel. Power steering reservoir is completely dry and there was a trail of dripping fluid on the passenger side area.
It might be a ruptured Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Pipe (8E1422891AG) since it happen suddenly, but who knows.

Do you guys recommend a mechanic i can tow my car to in DC? I usually go to RAI or NGP with a working car, but getting to there without a working car is kind of a pain. I am pretty sure the dealership would want the steering rack and pump changed even if it is fine.

There's S2 Dynamics in Rockville MD, well in a reasonable tow range. Right of Parklawn and 355 area.

Thankyou so much.

I'll give them a call tomorrow and check on availability.

Used Eurasian in tysons and they are good, fair and know audis. Also used Intersport right down the street, good but pricey. Both are a 9 iron form the audi dealership so if they need last minute parts its right there..metro's about a 2 wood away...no i don't play golf

Thanks for the advise and recommendation S4avanter.
I requested Roger as you mentioned for a Thursday morning drop off. I would like to tell him you recommended me to him, whats your name?

Next up, tow truck. Does anyone know if GEICO roadside assistant covers tows from home to repair shop? Any recommendation on a tow company? District towing has some pretty good yelp reviews. $85 towing within the district and $4/mile outside. Should be around $160 from southwest to tyson i guess.

I just finished my car payments! Guess i should just put money aside each month just for this car.

are a bit closer to DC not cheap, not perfect in few ways, but they know VAG, and walking distance to metro

Thanks for the inputs again guys. Didn't get a chance to say hi to roger.

Had my car towed there this morning. $160 form DC, not bad i guess. They quoted me $2300 to change out the steering rack. I knew they would be more expensive based on some Yelp reviews, but $500 more then others. The dealerships cost between 2500 to 3000 and that includes the courtesy vehicle. Oh well, i don't want to do it myself

Anyone had experience with Road and Track Silver Spring? Still looking for someone to install RS4 camshafts in my stage 3 2.7t.

R&T are a really good shop. They know their Audi's and most other imports. 8 years ago when I bought this MR2 turbo with a swap I had paperwork from them. The install and new transmission looked like it was like that from the factory and the car ran great. But I work on my own stuff. I'm the Master Tech and State Inspector at AAA in Gaithersburg, MD. I would definitely love to do the cam swap on your 2.7t but unfortunately working for a corporate company they won't let me.
