...wouldn't you know, the ****s overfilled the oil. Shiat...time to get out the turkey baster.
At least they flushed the brake fluid.

Unfortunately, this is a disappointingly common problem
How would you like those fvcktards to do major work on your car? Something like pulling the engine or transmission. You just know they would have all sorts of "extra" parts left over at the end.
And these RS4 mechanics are supposed to be Audi's best techs. C'mon, they do have significant training. I don't know **** about being an Audi tech but I could do a better job then they do.
Of course, there are great Audi techs out there and I just hope that I get a good one whenever my car needs work.

thankfully I haven't had any real issues for them to address.
I did notice that they replaced the fuel pressure sensor though....maybe that was the source of my intermittent flat spot above 6k rpm (which I think fluffhead and others have also reported). I had thought it was a fuel quality issue....perhaps not.

Another example of Audi service idiots...
Maple Hill Audi in Kalamazoo MI:
A month ago, I watched one of "Audi's best" attempt to replace my pre-air filter (a.k.a. snow filter) due to the idiots installing it backwards and crushing it the first time.
He pulled out his zippo lighter to show me (what he claimed to be) the reason for the filter - fire flashback prevention. The nylon screen melted like butter and the filter was ruined. The clincher was that he tried to sneak it into my car thinking I didn't notice. I said "hey - did you just burn a hole it it?" He takes it out and says, "Gee, they used to be made out of metal". What an ****.
Yesterday the parts guy called me and said I need to get the new (warrantied) part installed because they don't hold parts longer than 30 days. I suppose I'll just go pick it up, pay for it, and install it myself. My god, what to do if the car needs real service?

WHAT exactly would have to burn through the AF first? Intake flames??
I can't believe a mechanic even said such a thing. Maybe Elevens pissed him off when he goosed him as he was leaning into the engine compartment.
