Default First time Audi owner/New to forums

Hi All, I've had my Audi A4 for just over a year and I'm needing to replace brakes/rotors and tires.







I know which parts I'd like to purchase, but I'm uncertain about places for installation. I'm open to recommendations for tire/brake shops nationally or in the St. Louis, MO area.
Also, would the dealership be a good option?

Thanks,

Kevin

Although the dealer will rob you for brakes and rotors, they are best if your Audi is still under warranty.
Tires on the other hand are best bought from Tire Rack or a local tire shop and not the Stealership.

Thanks! I purchased tires from Tire Rack and to my surprise, my Audi dealer will install them for $80 for all 4 tires. Alignment is also $89 for all 4 wheels.

Why would it be best to go with an Audi dealer for brakes and rotors while under warranty? Aren't brakes and rotors a maintenance issue and exempt from warranty?

Gorgeous grill.

In MD and they require a front plate so I'm stuck with it. Very jealous.
