Thanks Lance,

It could be me being out of touch, but £1,400 for the work you outline does seem a bit heavy on the pencil, as we say in these parts. 
If it were mine, I would be seeking alternative quotes from trusted local garages before committing. 
Do you know what make of parts are going to be used with your current quote?

Kind regards,

Gareth.

All parts were as Audi stipulated don’t forget it’s a dual mass fly wheel and to keep the service history in order it must be an Audi recognised garage that’s why they can use the same software as Audi
