What we do

ODIS, OEM parts, and platform expertise.

Audi service requires VW/Audi-specific tools — ODIS for diagnostics and coding, plus the right specialty tools for cam timing on the EA888 platform.

For the EA888 timing chain rattle that hits 2.0T owners, we use updated OEM tensioner and chain components. The cheap aftermarket replacements often fail again within 30,000 miles. We use OE quality.

For the 3.0T supercharger cooling, we know the secondary cooling pump can fail and cause supercharger heat damage. We diagnose proactively on high-mileage trucks.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you do timing chain service on the EA888?

Yes. We replace the chain, tensioners, and guides with updated OEM Audi parts. It’s typically a 1–2 day job. Address it as soon as you hear the cold-start rattle — letting it go can damage the chain guides.

Can you service Quattro?

Yes. Routine fluid service, shudder diagnosis (usually transfer-case fluid), driveshaft service, and full transfer-case rebuild on a case-by-case basis.

Do you have ODIS?

Yes. ODIS dealer-level software for diagnostics, coding, and module programming. Generic OBD-II tools cannot perform most Audi-specific procedures.

Are you cheaper than the Audi dealer?

Typically 30–50% below dealer rates for the same work using OEM parts. The labor rate difference is significant; the parts pricing is comparable when we use OEM.

Do you do TDI service?

Yes. Q7 TDI, A3 TDI, A6 TDI. We’ve kept current on the post-recall calibration changes and we have the right diagnostic equipment for diesel-specific work.
