    Portland, OR shops

    Hello,
    Are there any independent Audi shops that you would recommend in the Portland, OR area? Preferably with RS6 experience.

    If you're open to a slightly larger area, down in Eugene, there's Cascade AutoWerkes. Frequently services RS6's, including from the Portland area. Small city rates more than makes the trip worthwhile.
    Cheers, G2/Gary

    Matrix Integrated. They do all the work on my rs6 and very experienced. They have had the engine out of my car 3 times for various repairs and know what they are doing.

    OP - or if you're headed to Eugene, you could just pay Gary in six-packs... Personally would rather have him wrenching on my car than any shop I've got in my immediate vicinity. Would be nice to have someone in my area with his kind of expertise, but all the serious Beast-Tamers seem to be 400+ miles away from the DC area.

    "OP?"
    Thanks for the input guys. I think I will try to work with someone closer to the Portland area for now. I tried doing the long distance mechanic thing once and found that it was really a hassle getting rides, etc. just to drop the car off or pick it up.

    There are a handful of owners in your area, not sure if you look through forum members by location and direct message them? Maybe give this post a bump every week or so for a while in hopes they see it.

    Thanks for the input guys. I don't need anything done at the moment. I just had quite a bit of work done on the car right before leaving LA. I just wanted to start the search up here so I have a better idea where to start when the time comes.

    I live in Portland and headed down to Eugene to meet up with Gary this Monday. Excited to go with someone local. With all due respect to Mike, I have little confidence dealerships would service my car with my best interests in mind. Quotes for labor seem unusually high.

    I think ^^ Mike is saying he could help outside of the dealership.

    Ya I meant outside of dealer. Unless your wanting something done I can't do in my garage.

    But I agree, hourly rates for Rs's is stupid. Our shop rate is very competitive with indy shops, but everything on the RS books out high on hours. Valve cover gaskets, by book time, requires motor pull. Now, everyone on here knows you can do it with motor in, but our shop manager is very competitive with pricing and labor. If you ever not like what you hear, he'll work with ya.

    I am the opposite. Mine is in Vancouver, WA while I am in LA searching for a good place to park it here. Where did you take your car while you were in LA. I am in the Valley so Long Beach is a bit far for me.

    I've taken mine to Raven in Long Beach a couple of times. But I primarily used Eurotech in Culver City. Both have done great work.

    Cool, Culver City is much closer to me and a simple uber ride home. Now I just need one more parking spot and I will be set.

    It can work out well, especially with the reduced labor costs compared to big city markets. Transport logistics can usually be arranged to save people trips.

    Actually have a RS6 switch planned soon in P-town; drive one up, bring one back. And will likely return later this month (and could likely do another switch). In general have been making a lot of trips to Portland this year, even Seattle. Been working on transport options to reach even further. Recently purchased a massive tow rig, and am shopping for a nice enclosed trailer specifically to haul our heavy RS6's.
