Now if only every dealer in the world handles these cases as well as you do. Over in BC Canada we've had a few incidents that went quite viral of some guys at Audi doing the same thing, nearly totaling a few S4's. The customer in these cases had to fight with the dealership for compensation, but seems like you handled it great. Props to you guys for that, if I was local to the dealership I would definitely be taking my business to you

Good job on making things right you guys! Way to stand up and take responsibility.

I guess this is where engaging Valet Mode would be appropriate haha. Whenever I leave my car anywhere with someone else that is going to drive it (mechanic or not) I put it in Valet Mode. If they want to test drive the car they can do it with me in the car.

Heck most mechanics and people in general are afraid to try and move my car in gear with my Spec Stage 3 clutch. My friends at Jiffy Lube who do my oil changes (I bring my oil, they do labor pretty much) let me drive my car in and out of the bay because of my clutch. My Mechanic does the same thing. As well as my body/fabrication shop 168 Motoring.
Everyone is afraid of my clutch except 1 person and its cause he has a stage 2 haha

Now that's how a company stands up and makes things right.! Where were you guys when the dealer didn't re-latch my CF hood and it flew off and smashed into a car behind me .:/ They never made it right and I had to argue for weeks just to get any resolve.

Resolve was a POOR paint job that lasted 3 days flaked and came off.

Much props man!

Kudos to Koeppel for handling this well. I can only imagine being the mechanic that had to tell his shop foreman... "Uh, guess what I just did..."

Glad no one got hurt too

That's awesome that you guys owned up to it and it sounds like the outcome was a hell of a deal. Kudos!

I would of turned down the 15 as well. interior is nice but that front bumper is something i just cant do like ever or the duck bill spoiler or the wheels... yes all this can be changed i know but its just knowing that its not numbered would bother me. Great way to handle the situation guys I know a lot of dealers wouldnt have gone that extra mile to handle this in the way you guys did.

The Z owner should have demanded to total the mechanic's wife!
