If you worry about your car being damaged and handled badly whilst in the garage then you should probably look at becoming a customer of Audi.
Audi is looking to introduce Audi Cam that puts a webcam on the technician who is working on your car so you can watch whilst they work away.
The system will work by using both a camera attached to the technicians head as well as a two-way radio system that allows you to be in contact with the mechanic.
