No, of course not.

If you are not under warranty, you can take it to any place you want as long as you trust them. Audi techs know the TT better, but if you have someone else take it to them.

You might also want to look at an extended warranty that would cover the costs.

Rob adds "Don't know about the states, but across the pond here in Sunny Blighty, I certainly would advise against going to an Audi Stealer, They don't know one end of a spanner to the other, and some don't even know there own names, so no way would I let them lose on my TT. Better off taking it to a specialist, where the people who work there are passionater about there TT;'s or Audis, and probably know the real odd stuff too, that Audi Main Stealer would never know in a million years.." - 5/18/2006
