$1600 brake service

Lets hope he did not screw up the rear electro brake mechanism trying to get it off. Its very expensive.
I caution you about reusing the front rotors. Audi factory rotors are very soft iron and prone to grooving. I have had a bunch of Audis and I have never seen rotors at 40-50k that were in great shape. If your car has 40K plus miles, new rotors would be a good, cheap investment. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. About $100 each aftermarket for good one and it only takes a REAL GERMAN CAR MECHANIC a few more minutes to put on new rotors. NOTHING stops and performs like new pads and rotors. The last couple Audi break jobs I have done with the performance Stop Tech rotors. And also used the Akebono pads - which many Audi owners use and swear by.
