OT Lounge, I’m in Baton Rouge and need to get my 2013 Audi repaired, but the dealership’s service department claims to be backed up and “may not be able to check my car for 4 to 5 days” after I drop it off with them.

Anyone have a recommendation for an independent Audi mechanic/shop? My radiator is leaking, so I need to get it repaired as soon as possible and don’t know which other mechanics/shops are trustworthy and reliable.

There’s a German auto repair shop on airline kinda by Cedarcrest Bar.

You could drop your car off and grab a drink.


Wedge Kyes Motorwerks Is the name of it.

Isn't Cedarcrest Lounge a black lesbian bar now?

I haven't been in that place in probably 15 years

Take it to NOLA and leave it running. The ensuing carjacking will guarantee your insurance payment, which will then allow you to buy an Acura or Lexus and thus not have to worry about any radiator leaks.

Or, be a man and fix it yourself.

Used to bring my BMW to Jeff Cobb when I lived in BR years ago. He always had lots of imports there.

I know he was diagnosed with cancer at some point, so he might not actually be working on cars anymore.

I would give it a try if his shop is still open.

Euroteck if you can make it to Shreveport. Those guys were awesome & saved me a ton of money before I wised up & started buying Japanese.

Vinnie's Exotics may be able to look at it. Not far from the Audi dealer.

As best I can tell, the leak is somewhere beneath the actual reservoir. I’m not sure whether the reservoir itself is cracked or if there’s some sort of connection down there that is broken.

In any event, many thanks for all of the recommendations, folks! I was expecting more trolling, but there are some very good replies in this thread that are much appreciated!

.

There is yellow dye you can buy from auto parts stores that costs maybe $5. Put a little bit of that into the reservoir, start the car, and turn the heater on. This should pinpoint where the leak is. My bet is a hose.
