Audi Repair – Choose Wisely

In towns all across North America, you will find auto mechanics that do a
superb job of servicing vehicles. Many of these mechanics have years of
training and experience and are trusted by their clients to provide
top-notch service. However, few of these mechanics are trained in Audi
repair. When it comes to choosing a mechanic for your luxury brand
vehicle, you must choose wisely.

One of the main differences between luxury cars and standard cars is the
technology that is built into the vehicle. It seems that these days the
cars are as technological as they are mechanical. When it comes to Audi
repair, you need to choose a technician who understands this technology
and can work with it. Obviously, you could visit a dealership and have
any and all repairs handled there. However, this is not always a viable
option since dealers tend to be the highest priced repair shops
available, and there may not be a local one when you need it. If you are
not having your car serviced by a dealer, your technician or mechanic
will need access to VCDS, or the VAG-COM Diagnostic System. VAG-COM is
Microsoft Windows based software that is used in place of the diagnostic
tools available only to dealers. This software enables the mechanic to
diagnose problems and program control modules as needed.

Audi repair is also different because there are fewer of these types of
cars than domestic vehicles. While a mechanic might be particularly
gifted at repairing domestic vehicles, he may struggle to do similar
work on a luxury car because of the unique ways that Audis and other
luxury vehicles are built. If you find yourself in need of a technician,
you will want to look for a few specific qualifications. First, you ask
if the mechanic is fully licensed and insured. Also, make sure that he
(or she) uses OEM parts and fluids for all repairs. Additionally, ask if
the repairs will be made to the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally,
check to see if the technician is trained specifically in Audi repair
or has adequate experience working with your type of vehicle.

Obviously, since you chose a luxurious vehicle, you will want to care
for it in the best way possible. By doing a little homework and making a
careful selection, you can find a technician that will meet the needs
of your car and your wallet. Audi repair does not have to be a headache
to be successful, and a little legwork with save you a lot of stress in
the long run.
