My wife and I drove down to Audi of Chantilly today to see what the new dealership was like.

IMPRESSIVE.

The showroom is very large, well-decorated, great amenities, etc. They had a nice range of cars in the showroom, including a gorgeous Daytona Gray R8 V10 with carbon sideblades.

My friend is now the service manager and another friend is the asst. parts manager. Their service area is incredible - they have all new lifts, tools, gear, etc.

Any of you guys in the Northern VA or DC area should definitely check it out. I won't be going to HBL in Tyson's for anything Audi-related anymore.

 

Last night I met a guy who is trying to talk me into being a salesman at that dealer. Not sure if car sales is what I want to do though. Will go check out the facility this week

 

Dude, the GM is really cool - younger guy, seemed to be all-business, but in a good way. They are WAY short of qualified techs right now and have 11 open bays. If I had any chance of ever staying in town for more than 5 minutes at a time, I'd offer to work weekends there.

My buddy in service is Matt Frick and Leon is the parts guy...
