I've been looking for a local (near Pasadena area) shop that specializes in Audis as I don't particularly trust other independent "German" shops or even non-German shops. I was originally taking my car to the dealership (thinking that the dealership would be the only shop that honors my extended warranty from Fidelity). Turns out, Independent Audi also honors my warranty. Yay! Made a call or two to schedule a time to drop it off and I spoke to John who used to work at Rusnak Pasadena (where I used to take my Audi) for over 9+ years. He just got hired by Fares, another previous Rusnak Pasadena mechanic who's been there for 10+ years and is currently the owner of Independent Audi. Both are very professional and definitely know what they're talking about. I brought my car into check some small issues as well as get my front inner CV boot replaced (I brought my own parts) as it was not covered under my extended warranty. Since they worked with Fidelity numerous times, they knew pretty much what was covered and what was not the moment I mentioned it (unlike Rusnak Pasadena). They also were more than happy to inspect all the other concerns I had (oil leaks, water leaks, glove box light, cracks, etc.) withOUT charging me (unlike Rusnak). I ended up waiting roughly 3 hours for them to fix my CV boot and it only cost me less than $240. Great deal and they're super friendly and professional. Would highly recommend them for any and all repairs. They sure know what they're doing and they don't BS you. FYI: I have a 2005.5 Audi S4 (B7 body) with approximately 81,xxx miles.
