Car won't start, tried jumping and it gets power but I just hear clicking noise...
So it seems like the batteries on the car are dead, so I try jumping it. The car gets power but the engine just won't start and i hear a very quick clicking sound from the engine. Sounds like starter isn't turning i guess. Is there anything a tow company could do to fix that or do I have to bring it to Audi Service?

The clicking noise is coming from the starter Solenoid most of the time it is from lower
power from the battery. or using a cheap set of jumper cable. Sometime they get stuck you can take a hammer and hit the starter to get it to star, but you may need to replace the starter

A decent jumpstart should get it going...unless you battery is REALLY dead. :/
My vote is either a dead battery (how old is the car, is the battery original?)...OR...corrosion on the battery [maybe the starter, too] terminals.
