I just dropped my car off at RUF this morning for an alignment and corner balance and to see if they can figure out my rough idle and recent drop in performance.

Of course, the reception was great and Alois came out to say hello and meet my wife . I met him twice before at his annual open house, not sure if he remembered me, but at least he acted like he did.

Spent about an hour with the service manager talking about the car, what they would look for in troubleshooting the problem, and what parts I would need, since I'll be ordering them online (to save A LOT of cash).

We didn't discuss prices, which I'm a little nervous about. Alois did say that regular servicing at "very competitive rates" is their bread and butter, not the $200K RUFmobiles that you see in magazines. So we'll see what that means.

I'll file a report when I pick up the car in a couple of weeks.
