Houston Audi

**calicruz05** · 01-02-2015 05:40 PM

What's up folks,

I'm soon to relocate to Houston, TX from San Diego, CA. I know it sounds crazy but it's a for the best. Anyways, I was wondering if there were any active members in the Houston area seeing that there's not a lot of threads being posted lol.

**rayray** · 01-02-2015 05:57 PM

Plenty of action in Houston and throughout Texas. Check out the Audi Club Lone Star site/forums/FB page (http://www.audiclublonestar.org) and the Texas Audi Group forums/FB page (http://texasaudigroup.com) Let me know if you need any help with locating events in the Houston area.

I just relocated from Northeast Arkansas to Houston, TX and am super glad to have done so. Does anyone have a dealer/Service Rep that they would recommend? I am in the Heights area and was looking at Central Houston Audi. Thanks in advance.

I am looking into upgrading to a S5 in the next year and would like to have a dealer I can trust.

**GO-GOTEKNO** · 01-05-2015 08:49 PM

**Melo** · 01-26-2015 05:38 PM

Hey LiLS - I recently got a Ross-Tech cable/updated software and have been doing mods to my 2015 RS5. I am south in the Clear Lake area and will let you use mine free, at your own risk of course!

Pretty frickin' easy - if I can do it....

I have the notes/settings I used on my 2015 RS5 (B8.5). I am pretty sure yours is a B8.5 too (facelift started in 2012 I think) so you can use what I have there too but you need to do the research as well.
PM me.
Later.

Maybe we could all meet up and have a VAG COM party haha!

I just moved to the Kemah area last week and still am getting used to the area. Anyone going to TX2k15 next weekend?

**Mike586** · 03-16-2015 07:39 PM

I am going to TX2k15.

Posted this as a reply in one of my other threads for a guy looking for quality Audi work:

Review, visit, make your own judgments as needed ; )

I like these guys for my general work, The technician did my timing chain repairs and piggie pipes install for my S4. He can be a doomsday paranoid technician lol but he does solid work and the owner Jim Hughes is real easy & highly professional to talk to. Really clean nice place too. But it all depends on how crazy some of your work/mods may be. This place works on just about anything retro, classic muscle to Ferrari etc. Located off Spring Cypress a little north of Highway 249.

I'd recommend paying them a visit and tell Jim I referred you if you go, I'm Carlos. Just tell him the Yellow S4 guy, he'll know lol.

**AKPS4** · 10-01-2015 04:51 PM

I'm moving the Houston within the next year. Pretty excited to get out of NY solely based on expenses. Don't know much about the Houston area though. Anyone have any tips on the move? Places to avoid. Etc?

**feelx77** · 10-01-2015 07:36 PM

I've been here since 1993. What are your concerns? Houston has become pretty crowded as well these days. Nice areas....Cypress, The Woodlands, Katy, West/Northwest Houston. Sugarland, Richmond Southwest Houston all nice better areas over all from my experience since I live West side. South Houston...maybe Pearland. But if your pockets are very deep....plenty of up & coming lofts, high rises in River Oaks area.

**AKPS4** · 10-02-2015 04:09 AM

No major concerns. Looking for good neighborhoods with good schools. We plan to move to the suburbs around the city and stay there for good. We were looking at sugar land

**Yuppie** · 10-08-2015 11:29 AM

Katy has really good schools. Look at cinco ranch area.

I decided to do Katy (cinco ranch area) over sugar land.

Few house builders to stay away from:
KB
Beezer

Builders to consider depending on size and price
Perry
Taylor Morrison
Trendmaker

Hope that helps.

Katy, Cinco Ranch area, most of west h-town have good neighborhoods with pretty good schools. Memorial/Bunker Hill area is very nice with great schools if your pockets are deep enough. Good luck!

**AKPS4** · 01-04-2016 04:42 PM

Thanks for the tips.

**A6S4** · 01-15-2016 10:32 AM

Looks like a good amount of activity here...greater Houston area. Problem seems to be a scattered and voluminous number of websites for us, and so I would suggest y'all stop by and join Audi Club Lone Star group - the Texas chapter of Audi Club of North America. And also do so on FB.
Www.audiclublonestar.org
Look forward to meeting more of you loyalists...!

**agorich** · 01-19-2016 01:33 PM

Hey Everyone. I've been in Houston for just under 5 years now. I live in the galleria area. I am interested in getting a coating put on the s4. Any suggestions for shops?

**PESH04** · 02-01-2016 01:42 PM

Hey all. Just moved to Houston last week. How is the Audi scene here? Would like to get together for a small meet if possible.
