Default weird day

ok, so my buddy and i decided we would go on a drive to madison, i live in milwaukee. the day was nice and we both had a day off. we get to madison and all of a sudden a loud putter occurs. so i pull my car over and pop the hood. after looking for a few minutes, we look by the spark plugs. what first caught our eyes was the gasket on top of the spark plug terminal was out of place. so, we took the terminal off and found that the spark plug was loose and that about half of the rubber terminal had been melted by the heat. so, we take the spark plug out and find the end threads are stripped. so, being lucky with where we stopped, an audi dealer was just down the road. i get new spark plugs and try them, but then find out that the head is stripped. so at this point i am just like "sh!!" and call AAA to tow the car to the dealer and have them try to retap the hole. being as that was unsuccessful, i had to call AAA again to tow the car back to milwaukee to my house. i am wondering if i could get some names of people who are great with S4's to help me with taking the head off. thanks

He put a whole lot more than RS4 cams in your car.

Default Yeah, but by listing the rs4 cams specifically you made it sound like that is all he did.

Yep, we definitely agree on that.

Is he willing to travel long distance (TX) to replace timing belt/cam seals?

If you pay him enough, sure. He was in CO for a job about a month or so ago.

I'm sorta from Milwaukee too. There's not much to choose from. I'd say Autobahn service.
