I know A4Audi quite well and have taked a number of different Audis to the (an A6, an A8 ansd 2 S8s).

I used to rate them highly but lost faith after a while, particularly when my previous S8, which I sold to friend, had the timing belt etc replaced. I'd had it done previously at A4Audi - who claim to use only genuine Audi parts. Suffice to say, the only genuine Audi part was a roller that looked like it hadn't been replaced. You may draw your own conclusions!

But for the gearbox, definitely Mackies in this neck of the woods.
