AUDI Repair/Service in San Diego?

[BARRY]

Hey guys,
I moved again...this time to San Diego. Does anybody have any recommendations for shops that do good work on Audi's. Also, wasn't able to find online, but are there any shops down here that you can rent their shop and tools for use? Moved to an apartment and no longer have a place to work on my own cars.

Thanks!

I have read some good postings on Pure Motorsports in San Diego.
It appears the members down in San Diego swear by them.
You always have Tag Motorsports also down there too.
Good luck.

Looks like a great option! In addition to my Audi I have a 4X4 truck that I like to tinker with. I'll keep this in mind for future work on both cars.

Checking back to see how this shop worked out for you. Were you able to get the work done that you wanted to?

[BARRY]

solid place...i wasn't sure if they would have all the specialty torx bits so i brought my own. i'd highly recommend using this place if you need a shop to work on your car with lift and air tools. they do allow for leaving your car overnight for the next day, but i don't know the rates for that.

parts, fluids, and shop rental costed me somewhere around $600-700 which includes the 1 year of membership at Gearheads. PureMotorsports wanted to charge me somewhere around 2k. I spent about 5 hours with some long breaks here and there working on my car. met some cool guys while i was there. the guy next to me had a B8 A5 and actually helped me with installing my bumper. i owe that guy a few beers for the help.

they have fluid disposal, shop rags, zip ties, and some random bolts/nuts. I didn't ask if they had specialty tools, but if you know you will need something, bring it. really enjoyed that they had a fan available. i drove in, set that thing onto my engine, took a 30 minute break and was ready to drain my coolant without burning myself.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely keep this place in mind.

I was looking for a DIY shop, sweeeet! also if you need audi specific help, I recommend Independent Audi/VW in Encinitas. My go to Indy for things above my limited skill level lol.
