    Default Mechanic needed

    Back in the day one of you fine people owned a mechanic shop in Lakewood. I'm hoping one of is still in the business, as I have a bit of an odd request...

    I have a 2003 Audi Allroad, and it's air suspension is blown in the front. I bough a conversion kit to change out to a standard strut/coil system.

    Kit: https://www.suncoreindustries.com/pr...conversion-kit

    I've called a couple shops in the area but they won't do it.... Which I understand as they won't do outside parts or don't want to do an Audi.

    Any recommendations or help is greatly appreciated.

    Try Indian Peaks Auto in Boulder. Worth a call.
    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    Not quite the same, but I was easily able to change out the air suspension on my wifes Lexus gx470 to coil overs. It only took a couple hours in the driveway with basic hand tools.

    This is an Audi I think you need NFA paperwork for all the tools needed to work on those.
