Default For wheels...

you can try F1 Motorsports in N. Hollywood. I am not sure about brakes. The only Audi-specific mechanic I know is Dusan Sabo in Monrovia. I have never had him work on my car because I am still under warranty, but I have talked to him several times. I am not sure if you can trust a brake shop like Brake Masters or Meineke. When my warranty expires, I plan on changing them myself.

Default They will overcharge, but they will probably do it right

There are tradeoffs.

Default give wheelwere house a call

Call Brett Peters over at wheelware house at 714-772-1281 X 5124 or hit 0 and ask for Brett Peters. Tell him Brad from Street sounds Plus sent you so he will know who you are.

so far his prices are hard to beat.
