Research is key.
At the dealer, do you have the opportunity to get to know the tech assigned to work on your car? I get that they’re all factory trained (hopefully) but is that Fahrvergnügen? FWIW, there are some indie techs with factory training.

All this being said, Chris who's at the service counter at Weissach is awesome. Been super helpful anytime I have to order parts.
No idea on the SA's or sales guys however.

That Galant brings back memories. My dad had a 91 Eagle 2000 GTX manual. Great seats in that car for touring. He also had a 91 Eagle Talon Tsi turbo. Back then I wanted a VR4 badly. There used to be a couple around Victoria
