Default Well....the gods of bad Audi luck have shined their grace on me again...

Got in late last night from Chicago and picked up the lipstick-lesbian-red A4 from the good folks at Rainbow valet airport parking at around midnight. In the dark haze of jet lag I didn't notice that they had parked it in front of a 47" tall parking tie that had basically lifted the front end of the car up about 3" off its normal suspension height.

I jump in the car and back out of the space....and see half the front bumper pop off the car. After some kicking and banging I get the bumper back on the car so that it is at least derivable. I proceed to act out my frustration on the staff at Rainbow Valet....and they are responding as if I was a Muslim waiving a gun on an airplane. After I completely traumatized the staff and convinced them that the car is sacred ground that they have trespassed on, they agree to pay for all the damages.

Now.....the never-ending search for a decent bodyshop continues.....

Default Send it to AJ's on Oakridge in Orlando. We send all of our bodywork customers there...

They are very good. I am having them roll my fenders. I've seen their work and it's top notch. Their shop looks more like a European Spa than a collision center and their garage is basically filled with the "Who's Who" in cars.

Default was it AJ's or Daya's? I know Daya's was really bad....

Daya's is closed and AJ's took over the building and revamped the place. All of Daya's people are gone too. I've seen 4 cars come to us from there and they were all flawless. Which S4 were you talking about??
