Tips For Finding The Best Local Audi Mechanic

Audi has cemented itself as a real luxury sports brand with cars that can give a bloody nose to their rivals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Cadillac. The German engineering that goes on under the hood of your Audi is only as good as the people maintaining it. In order to keep your Audi in tip-top fighting shape, let’s look at some tricks that will help you find the best Audi mechanic in your area

Let The Mechanic’s Reputation Speak For Itself​​​​​​

The internet is both a blessing and a curse for any Audi mechanic. The curse is that any mistake a mechanic makes is surely to come back and bite them in the form of negative reviews. The blessing is that people are more willing to praise a trusted mechanic in forums and help websites which may prove more helpful when looking for a new mechanic

Before choosing a shop, ask around on social media and do some snooping online to find out if a certain shop is actually everything they claim to be

Choose An ASE Certified Mechanic

So you found two shops that look like they could be the real deal and potentially be your Audi’s next mechanic. One is an ASE-certified shop, and the other isn’t. We always recommend you take your Audi to an ASE-certified shop

For a shop to be certified, they can only hire technicians that are ASE-certified, and to get that, each mechanic has to pass a test on their specific specialty to prove that they know what they are doing. The extra piece of mind knowing an engine builder isn’t tackling your electrical issues and it is being sorted out by a qualified auto electrician, is underappreciated

Furthermore, if the shop truly messes up and isn’t willing to help rectify the issue, you have the option to lodge a complaint with the ASE, who will be willing to intervene

Ask About Maintenance Plans And Warranties​​​​​​

We already addressed some of the 5 questions to ask an Audi service provider, but the most important is to make sure the shop accepts factory maintenance plans and warranties. There’s nothing worse than going to get something repaired that should fall under your maintenance plan or warranty only to be surprised with a huge bill at the end

A good Audi mechanic will have a relationship with Audi-Volkswagen, allowing them not only to acquire original factory parts but also to do work on your Audi that will be covered and will not void any warranty you have in place. Most shops will advertise this fact, but if you can’t find anything, it will be worth your time to ask

Consult With The Better Business Bureau ​​​​​​

The Better Business Bureau is a non-profit organization whose goal is to put customers in contact with the best, most trustworthy companies. A clean report from the BBB will ensure you are putting your Audi in the hands of someone trustworthy and not a fly-by-night operation
