I have a 2007 A3 that I've owned since new. Car has been pretty flawless reliability wise. About a day ago, my heated seats stopped working. I checked the fuse box only to find that they are on a circuit breaker. Anyone have their heater stop working and find a solution?

Did you find the circuit breaker open? If so, it might have been a fluke. You could reset the CB and see what happens...

Where is the CB for the heated seats located?

I dunno. I responded to your post, "I checked the fuse box only to find that they are on a circuit breaker." My guess is that a circuit breaker would be in or near the fuse box.

The Bentley wiring diagrams say that their fuses are at:

Fuse 53 in fuse box "B" (50A)
Fuse 57 in fuse box "C" (20A)

I assume that one is the instrument panel fuse box and the other is the one in the engine compartment.

So it seems my seats are back to working again so I suspect it's the breaker. The main problem still is that the seats heating element has gotten weaker over time. Any idea how hard it would be to find a set of 2010-2011 black leather heated seats to replace mine? It's the one weak spot on the car to me (both heater and seat comfort).
