Common Audi repairs
Turbocharged TFSI engines are the heart of most modern Audis. The repairs we see most often are coolant leaks from the water pump or thermostat housing, crankcase-ventilation (PCV) faults that cause oil consumption or a rough idle, ignition coils, and carbon build-up on the intake valves of direct-injection engines. We confirm the cause with testing and show you photos before recommending work.
S tronic and quattro
Dual-clutch S tronic transmissions and quattro all-wheel drive both have their own fluid services. We check your car's schedule and condition and tell you what is due, rather than selling a package.
