Default OK...I need some advice...please

I live in Toledo,Ohio and as I posted a week or so ago I seem to be losing reverse in my 2000 A8L.It slips. I called every transmission shop in town and although nearly everyone said they can work on it.They do not know what a Vag-com is. So needless to say I'm worried. I don't want to go to the stealer for a complete replacement swap($ 7k-8k) I would prefer to have this one rebuilt. I need some recommendations from any of you that have had one rebuilt...I have no problem shipping the car within 400 miles in order to get it done right.( Chicago,Detroit, ect..) I just want it done right and as inexpensively (don't mean cheap)as possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Default Tozo's buddy's shop in Chi-town, is what I would do, if I were you.

No way I'd hand it to some Aamco dude who says he can work on it, but doesn't know a VAG-COM from a torque wrench.

Call Bob at "The Shop" 225 W.Alexis - 478-4600 - Though he may not want to do the swap he'll have good advice.
