Default so i brought my car in for service...

and i asked them to replace some of the screws in the belly pan that i had lost, and they said since
the belly pan has a crack in it, i must have hit something (prob a speed bump) and they cant replace them under warranty...so its gonna be 87 bux just for the screws and nuts, no charge for the labor..$87 for screws!!! Haha, i told em not to do it and id do it myself b/c i know i could get them for much cheaper..then they said well, they already went ahead and put them in, so asked if it would be alright if i paid wholesale..i said fine, still prolly gonna be like 60 bux
<shaking head rolling eyes in disbelief>

Default You have to buy them from a dealer...

because only Audi makes them. I just bought two ($19.50) and put them on, then had service done and now there's three missing. the dealer says they can't verify that they were all on there when they did the work.

i hate the dealer.
