German Engineering & Performance
Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system and advanced engineering have made these vehicles favorites among driving enthusiasts since the brand entered the U.S. market in 1970.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH AUDI
Westco Automotive has built a strong reputation among Audi owners who want European expertise without the dealership markup. Our technicians have mastered the intricacies of Audi's quattro system, from the early Torsen center differentials to the latest ultra technology. We've performed countless carbon cleaning procedures on direct-injection 2.0T engines, replaced timing chains on 3.0T supercharged V6s, and diagnosed the electrical gremlins that can frustrate even experienced mechanics. When your Audi needs service, you'll find technicians who understand that "Vorsprung durch Technik" means nothing if the car isn't running right.
