Default Reason # 762 why Continental Audi rules:

Sunday at ABCC, the car performed flawlessly (the driver was still shaking the cobwebs out of his head though). Driving home from the event, less than two miles from home, I get a CEL and she's running very rough at idle. I pull her into the garage, toss on VAG-com and there are a few DTC's for misfire on cyl #7. I'm thinking, S#!t, the full track is ours the following day and I'm sunk.

A few phone calls later and Continental's #1 technician, our own beloved Russ, confirms my suspicions - coil pack failure.

Fast-forward to the Monday morning and I'm pulling up to Continental's service door 10 minutes before they open and Continental's #1 service advisor (the always kind, knowledgeable and beautiful Robin) opens the door for me before the dealership lights are on, has a clipboard ready and waiting and I felt as if the patient was being rushed into the E.R. (heck, I've waited longer in a E.R. with a head wound than the entire visit to Continental this morning). Al's long-lost cousin Kevin goes to work on it right away and by 8:07 I was driving off to ABCC.

Continental really went above and beyond to help out a customer and do me a special favor. Big thanks to Robin, Russ, Kevin, Tim and the great team at Continental!

P.S. The Continental water is the tastiest of all dealership waters in the region.

Default Russ/Robin make the perfect team!

I actually keep two spare coilpacks with me at all times. So if anyone is in a need when Continental is closed, then give me a call.
