Audi Repair & Service for Boerne & San Antonio

I maintain, diagnose, repair, and tune Audis, from an A3 to an RS7, at my private shop in Boerne. Factory-level scan tools, the right oil and parts, and one tech on your car start to finish. For North San Antonio, it is twenty to thirty minutes up I-10.

What I do on Audis

Scheduled maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, and performance work on Audi, all in one private, climate-controlled, veteran-owned shop in Boerne. Audi pairs turbocharged engines, Quattro all-wheel drive, and a lot of electronics, and keeping one right means knowing how those systems work together.

I am the only tech. The person who puts your Audi on the lift is the person who diagnoses it and calls you about it, whether that car is an A4 daily or an RS7 with its injectors out for service. No service writer, no handoff, and no work before you know the plan.

Audi maintenance, on schedule

Audi engines run on a service rhythm built around the right oil, the timing system, and staying ahead of carbon. Done on time, these are some of the most rewarding cars to own. Let slide, they get expensive.

  • /Oil service with the correct spec oil, on time, to protect the turbo and the timing system
  • /Timing chain and tensioner attention on the 2.0T engines, a known weak point worth getting ahead of
  • /Carbon cleaning on the direct-injection engines to restore lost power and smooth running
  • /Brake fluid every two years, per the factory schedule, plus coolant and the usual wear items to spec
  • /DSG and transmission service on the cars that have it

Audi brakes: measured, not guessed

Pads and rotors wear with every stop. I measure pad thickness and check the rotors for grooves and uneven wear, then tell you what is worn and what is still good. Brake fluid is the part most owners forget: it absorbs moisture, boils sooner, and turns the pedal soft. Bring it in if you notice any of these:

  • /Longer stopping distances than the car used to need
  • /Squealing or grinding when you brake
  • /A shake in the steering wheel or the pedal under braking
  • /A soft or spongy pedal

Audi diagnostics and the jobs I see most

A check-engine light only tells you where to start looking. I read the car with factory-level scan tools, look at the live data, and find the actual cause before anything gets replaced. Every Audi has its known items, and getting ahead of them is far cheaper than waiting for the failure:

  • /Check-engine lights, misfires, and rough idle traced to the real cause
  • /Timing chain tensioner service before it becomes a failure
  • /Carbon buildup, walnut-blasted off the intake valves
  • /Oil consumption diagnosis and repair on the engines prone to it
  • /Quattro driveline, differential, and driveshaft service
  • /Turbo, intercooler, and boost-related diagnosis
  • /Electrical and module faults a generic scanner cannot see

S and RS: tuning and performance

An S or RS Audi is built to do more, and it responds to the right work. From an ECU tune to turbo and intercooler upgrades, we build a plan that matches how you actually drive the car, street or track, without giving up the reliability that makes it a great daily. The same hands that build a track car change your brake fluid.

Buying a used Audi?

A used Audi is exactly the kind of car a pre-purchase inspection saves you from buying wrong. On the lift and on the scanner, I check timing chain tensioner history on the 2.0T, carbon buildup, oil consumption, and Quattro driveline health, along with everything else on the car. You leave with a straight answer: buy it, negotiate, or walk.

Driving up from San Antonio

The shop is at 28460 Windwood Dr E in Boerne, twenty to thirty minutes up I-10 from Stone Oak, The Dominion, and the rest of North San Antonio. You trade a short drive for one tech who knows your Audi, an honest diagnosis before any work starts, and a car that stays on the lift until it is right.

You do not need the dealer to keep your Audi right. Factory-scheduled service, done to spec, with the records kept, and without the dealer markup.

The Audis I work on

A3, A4, A5, A6, Q5, S3, S4, S5, and RS models including the RS7.

Buying one used? A pre-purchase inspection tells you exactly what you’re getting first.

By appointment, 8am to 6pm daily. Tell me the car and what it needs.

Audi questions

Which Audi models do you work on?
The A3, A4, A5, A6, and Q5, the S3, S4, and S5, and RS models including the RS7. If your Audi is not on that list, call with the year and model and I will tell you straight.
How far is the shop from San Antonio?
The shop is at 28460 Windwood Dr E in Boerne. From Stone Oak, The Dominion, and the rest of North San Antonio it is twenty to thirty minutes up I-10. It is appointment only, so your Audi gets my full attention instead of a spot in a queue.
My Audi has a check-engine light. Can you diagnose it?
That is everyday work here. I pull the codes with factory-level scan tools, read the live data, and find the real cause instead of throwing parts at it. You get a call with what I found and what it takes to fix before any work starts.
Should I worry about the timing chain on my 2.0T?
Worry, no. Stay ahead of it, yes. The timing chain tensioner is a known weak point on the 2.0T engines, and servicing it before it fails is far cheaper than waiting. On-time oil changes with the correct spec oil protect the timing system too.
How do I know my Audi needs brakes?
Longer stops, squealing or grinding, a shake in the wheel or pedal when you brake, or a soft pedal. I measure pad thickness and check the rotors instead of guessing. The factory schedule also calls for new brake fluid every two years, because the fluid absorbs moisture and the pedal goes soft when it boils.
Do you tune Audi S and RS models?
Yes. From a simple ECU tune to turbo and intercooler upgrades, we build a plan that matches how you actually drive the car, street or track, without giving up the reliability that makes it a great daily.
