Default audi newbie needs some help

Hello everyone, I am excited to own my first Audi (2002 A4 1.8T) and it is such an sweet car. I never knew that I could have so much fun just driving around. Well being new to Audi I have a few questions.

First I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to have service done on my car or a good mechanic? (I live in southwest Denver)

Should I only take my car to a special place for oil changes? Or is it easy enough to do myself, I have done oil changes on my American cars but I am not sure about working on a German cars.

also does anyone know where I can get a second key with fob other than the dealership. I have a vag. com so I can program it myself. Just need to get the actual fob and then have it cut.

I recommend searching the forums for the shops. DIY oil changes are pretty easy on these cars.

As for the key, for getting one cut at least check out the link.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rmcb5.com/forums/index.php/topic,6736.0.html">http://www.rmcb5.com/forums/index.php/topic,6736.0.html</a</li></ul>

Default 3zero3, Avalon Motorsports, Autobahn Premier, Werner's Mastertek, are all recommended shops.........

If you search the forums deepers, you'll find other shops around that people like.

Default As I mentioned, if you want a key CUT

You will need to make the effort to call them to see what they charge. As I understand they did just fine CUTTING a key.

You can probably find an FOB on eBay or something like that.
