recommend a puget sound area dealer for 2010 TDI service?

[ultranaut]

My 2010 TDI just hit 10,000 miles and I need to get it in for services ASAP. I bought it out of state so I can't take it back to them.
Can anyone recommend someplace in the puget sound region? Preferably no further south than Olympia and not much further north than Seattle.

In the area, you have Larson (Tacoma), Auburn (Auburn), University VW (Seattle) and Parr (Bremerton). I know there'a few others but those come to mind first. Can't say much good about Larson, the others I've never used so caveat emptor.

Thanks for the info

I bought mine at Auburn VW and took it there for the 10,000 ml oil change. when I asked about making sure it was not overfilled the svc manager looked hurt and asked how anyone could do that. When I asked for the extra oil to be given to me they said no problem and there was a Castrol gold bottle (correct oil) 3/4 full in the back seat floorboard and the oil level was perfect. The only negative was they didnt know how to reset the service reminder on the 2010. They did the 2009 procedure like 4 times before I found it in the owners manual for them. On the great side they were having a customer appreciation BBQ that day and the coffee machine in the customer waiting area has always been free

How long did the service take?

Chaplin's VW & Subaru on I-90 just east of the 405, north side of I-90. Eastgate area. Co-worker took her 2004 Jetta manual there for everything and had no problems. Sold the Jetta and drives an Audi TT now.
