Your Audi’s digital dashboard is an important instrument designed to help you with things like:
- Navigate
- Control your speed
- Maintain fuel levels
- Monitor engine status
- Adjust driving controls
Regular maintenance on your Audi should include inspecting dashboard instruments and functionality regularly. But what do you do if the dashboard goes, and you require repair?
Find a Shop Experienced with Audi’s and Imports
Audi’s aren’t your average run-of-the-mill automobile. These imported European models require specific parts and tools to retain streamlined functionality and authenticity. This means finding an experienced auto shop with training and tools to repair your Audi properly.
Look for shops that specialize in German and European models like Auto Scandia or shops that have worked with Audi’s in the past and have a proven track record of success.
See What Locals are Saying
There are a few ways to determine whether an auto shop has what it takes to fix your car, including:
- Social Media: Facebook Groups focusing on local auto repair is a great jumping-off point. These groups share updates and reviews on businesses you might be thinking about obtaining services from.
- Google Business Reviews: Google provides a bird’s eye view of the local auto scene, offering details on which shops are nearby, their hours of operation, and even what customers think of them. Read reviews with an open mind but consider the good and the bad before choosing a shop for your Audi.
- Yelp and Other Review Sites: Along with Google, look at reviews left on other sites. It helps to watch for replies that the business has made to reviews rather than simply the reviews themselves. How an auto shop treats customers online says a lot about how they’ll treat you in person.
Along with customer opinion, be sure to form your own by interacting with the shop directly.
Call the Shop and Chat with the Staff
You only get so much information from looking at an auto shop from the perspective of others. It helps to form your own opinion by calling around and chatting with local shops yourself. Ask questions such as:
- How much experience do you have with Audi?
- Have you ever repaired an Audi’s digital dashboard?
- How often do drivers normally require maintenance on an Audi dashboard?
- How often do you work with European vehicles?
- Do you have tools and parts on hand, or would you need to order them?
One of the major benefits of choosing an auto shop with a history of Audi workmanship is that the job will be completed quickly and efficiently.
