WTF? If the interior was simply dirty, i would have cleaned it. It was full of mold, and after talking to various people, including a rep from Sparco, it was decided that taking it to a professional detailing shop would be the best way to go. I paid a lot of money to have this done , and was told that it would be done right, and that extra care would be taken with the Sparco seat so that the mold would not come back.
There was not an 18 year old in sight at this shop.
As far as my "manhood" for maintaining my own car, I used to own a race team, and we were sponsored by Audi, and were given an A4 2.8 quattro as part of the sponsorship package. We raced in a NASA touring car series for a few years until we split amicably as they focused on ALMS and such. I was the backup driver, and I also maintained the car myself.
I also own an 83 Audi urQuattro that is nowhere near stock, and I was the one who did the modifications. I maintained it myself, fabricated parts for it, etc etc.
Right now, I dont have access to my tools or a place to work on my car because of where i live, and due to other personal reasons. The situation I am in right now with this detail/body shop is because of that.
Otherwise, I DO maintain the car myself. This is also the first p-car I have ever owned, so I am still learning the car... nevertheless, I needed a professional for this particular situation.
Why the attitude? Could you be a bit more pretentious?
