They still get paid for the work either way. It just seems more customer friendly to bill AOA then the customer.

Default Ive never had anything voided,

but ive been told upfront that they would not replace worn aftermarket brake pads, rotors, etc.
under warranty. but exceptions have been made, sort of.

Yes, but I mean more along the lines of voiding warranty on a turbo because of a chip.

Default oh i don't know...maybe because it is a business and AoA can refuse to pay when audited

Why would they want to risk it? It's your fault that you messed something up, you should pay for it! Take some resposibility on what you did by introducing different parts to the system.

Mod all you want, but don't blame Audi for things falling apart and not wanting to help you.
