Just to close this thread.
I went to gruppe-s via the numerous i-club recs. After being rejected, I looked on i-club for exhaust places and the ones i found weren't very good at all.... ("what's a downpipe?" "we don't carry flanges or gaskets.")
I didn't have a stripped turbo, I said I had a stripped stud.
I would have been plenty happy with JUST my strut being fixed or checked out... but neither was an option.
When it came down to it, I stated that i would be the first person and that was appointment enough for me.
I don't doubt that gruppe-s is great. But, stating no appt is necessary a week in advance and not even being able to give my car a look was pretty rough.
Money was absolutely no object . I would have been willing to pay for their expertise just to look at my car.
I understand that gruppe-s gives excellent service to people... and am impressed that gagan was able to come in last minute and get it checked out. I totally back anyone who goes to gruppe-s regularly and gets work done to their car and receive great service. It's just that I have great respect for anyone that treats first time customers with great respect.... and I don't believe I was fully respected.
