So my co-worker has a Audi A6 and has been having some electrical problems. He took it to the dealership who told him it was going to cost over 3,000 to fix....I told him to use this well known, fair mechanic instead and that I would go with him to make sure he doesnt get pushed around.
Anyway, I follow him in my 04 530i and pick him up. I get to the mechanic shop, park, and then walk up to my buddy and the mechanic.
This is what I heard when I approached them:
"Well, Audi's are made with pretty cheap parts, so you pay less in the beginning to purchase the vehicle but it catches up to you in the long run. Take BMW's for example, you pay a little more upfront but they are hands down the best made car on the road, better than lexus, mercedes, or Honda. They are built with quality parts that last, and IF something goes wrong, they are easy to diagnose and fix."
My friend HATES BMW's and he was steaming after he heard that.....so I egged him on with :
"Hey man, sorry about your Audi, but a reliable, better made vehicle is ready to take you home whenever you're ready"....
HAHA - BMW's FTW
