alignment question??
I got a flat yesterday and the entire tire ripped off. its obvious it was an alignment problem. i was hoping to replace the tire and to do the alignment with one stop. is this not recomended, or am i just being **** about having the alignment done at an audi dealership. keep in mind that the audi alignment is a raping, while the tire place will probably cost 50 bucks.
thanks in advance.

alignments are covered under warranty.
However, AoA will not cover alignments when you get new tires mounted and balanced.
Talk to your service advisor about this. You will probably have to get your tires mounted and balanced yourself (not at Audi) then get your car aligned at the dealership.

well.. two issues..
1) AoA generally won't approve of alignments done with aftermarket wheels. Your dealership experience may vary with this. My service advisor said he cannot do an alignment with aftermarket wheels.
2) AoA won't approve of alignments done at the same time a mounting and balancing is done. (You can't get an alignment just because you got new tires.)
The way around #2, is to get your tires mounted and balanced at another shop, and then bring them to your audi dealer and ask them to do an alignment. Its probably cheaper that way too since the hourly rate for mounting and balancing would most likely be ludicrous.
