Default The mats story - final installment

I picked up the replacement mats yesterday.

As soon as I opened the packaging (in the Parts Dept) I could see that they were the correct fitment (I'm an expert now!).

So all's well that ends well, but it's unbelievable how they can get it so wrong when a) they look everything up according to your car's reg/VIN; and b) they spend so much time making sure it's "the right part number".

So the moral of the story for me is the next time I'm asked for my reg or VIN by an Audi Parts Dept, I will ask "WHY?" and when I get the standard response I will ask if they will be paying for my time, travel, and inconvenience if the part they order doesn't fit my car...
