best private service centers
I live in Harleysville, PA and work in Ft. Washington, PA. I just bought an A4 (2008) and would like to know best places for basic service (oil changes, etc.) either near my work or home.

isn't the car under warranty? between those places, I highly recommend Dinardo's on Horsham Rd near
the Willow Grove Air Force base where Horsham meets route 611. It's right next to the speed shop that I use to buy my Redline fluids. You'll see a bunch of Benz, Porsche, Audis, and some Ferrari in there. they're old school guys who've been turning wrenches since the '60-'70s.
Dinardo Foreign Motors
215-443-5335
241 Horsham Rd
Horsham, PA 19044
There's also AWE Tuning in Willow Grove.
Does Audi not provide oil changes now? When my A4 was under warranty, I provided M1 oil at each of their services at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50k, and then I did my own oil changes at 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, etc. Make sure that the place that changes your oil is using an VW502 approved oil and an OEM/Mann filter, especially if you have the 2.0T engine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com">http://www.awe-tuning.com</a</li></ul>

While we specialize in performance work, we can easily do oil changes and routine maintenance. We often end up doing it along side of performance mods anyway.
Give me a call with what you need. We are right in Willow Grove.

There's a shop on County Line Rd...can't remember the name, but it's probably within 5 miles of
your new digs. I don't think they specialize in german cars, but for basic stuff they should be reliable. I can dig up the name for you when I get a chance.
Years ago I had my Integra up for sale and the kid that wanted to buy it had me take it to this shop for a once over. I talked to them on the phone after they looked it over, and he said very frankly that the car was in mint condition for it's mileage. He didn't find a single thing wrong with it (and they usually do on these pre-sale inspections). He also added...if the kid can cough up the money, he'll destoy my car (I guess he had a history with this kid). In any event, since Jr. didn't have any grounds to negotiate a lower price and couldn't get a loan, it was a dead end. Complete waste of time.
