RAI Motorsport

I experienced a tire blowout on I-95 South over the Labor Day Weekend and had my car towed to RAI Motorsport to be repaired. As a resident of NYC, I was unaware of RAI's reputation or service quality. The representative (Ray) was very professional and provided me with excellent guidance over the phone which made me feel comfortable leaving my car at their location over the holiday weekend. In the end, RAI provided outstanding service, priced my repairs reasonable and gave me advice on issues I should address regarding my car when I returned to NYC. I am extremely grateful for the quality service provided by RAI Motorsport and would strongly recommend RAI to anyone in the surrounding areas.

Been going to RAI since 2012. I started to have my B7 A4 modded with their house turbo, downpipe, intercooler, and a whole slew of other parts. They've come through and modded my car right up. The exhaust was an issue because it had a strange connector,but they fabbed up a solution. After the tune, I had boost issues, and they swapped in a new diverter valve at no cost. That set me going for quite a while. Since then, I've gone back several times for various things. I had them change the engine mounts, carbon cleaning, power steering flush, thermostat, wheels, wheel bearing, oil change, pulley, and transmission fluid. These have gone well, for the most part. This latest time was trans fluid change. I had gotten the fluid, which was the new "Lifeguard 8" (avoid if you can). I had some issues shifting, but normally converting over to it requires a dealer update to the transmission software. My dealer had NO idea what this update was (despite other owners having received it). I had talked to Ray and he straight up recommended flushing it all out with Redline D4. I brought it back and they did 3 drain and fills to replace the fluid, and it's smoother than it's been in years. Ray wouldn't let me leave until he was certain I was happy with it! On top of all this, Ray has been available for me to shoot messages to anytime, and has helped me solve a number of issues without having to take the car in. Rest assured I will be going back. Update 7/22/2016: They still continue to be awesome. In the past year, I've had them replace the rear coolant flange (which started leaking), oil filter & stand gaskets, install coilovers, and replace the vacuum pump. Great guys, love seeing other cars in the shop, and/or shooting the breeze with them. My B7 has since gotten totaled, but I know I'll be bringing my C5 allroad by the shop. Update 8/26/2022: At this point they have done multiple services to my (former) C5 Allroad including oil pan, heater core, suspension, electrical, etc. And my C7 A6 TDI, where they have done maintenance and engine mounts. Had tires shipped to Mr. Tire for install, who proceeded to be able to only mount 1 and damaged 2 of my wheels. Then with an attitude that screamed, "Go pound sand!", told me to take my tires to a performance shop to have them installed. So I did, and called up RAI again. They got me right back in. Estimate to bring to Mr. Tire reimbursement, and I've since gotten the wheels repaired and new tires mounted and balanced. Always a pleasant experience!

Did perform all promised repairs. The ower had a detailed explanation on what the Car needed before they could even start the work. Congrats Ray for creating confidence in me
