    Folks, I've gotten a flyer for this AutoScandia place out in Herndon, VA and have been thinking about taking my Passat in for a portion of the 40k maint that I won't be doing in my own garage. Wondering if folks have used them before, how was it, $$ comparison to a dealership service costs etc etc

    Gracias!

    We took our '02 325i there a couple of times to get some cooling system work done (hoses, expansion tank, radiator) and they did a decent job. I don't think their prices were that much less than the dealer, but it was right down the street so it was close. One of the guys at the front desk kind of has an attitude (dan or dave). They had a BMW Master Tech, so I felt confident taking the car there. Not sure what VW/Audi training they have.

    Why not just go to Lindsay?

    I may end up just going there, bought the car from them, and no issues so far, just shopping around for local service centers.

    ...aaand the bits I've done to the car. Always prefer to not get flagged by a dealership.
