Newbie here. My thanks in advance for any help, with apologies if I’m posting in the wrong sub-forum and/or my question skirts any forum protocols.

I did some (arguably minimal) upfront searching but came up empty on this:

My wife and I both own Audi SUV’s, hers is a 2018 Q5, mine is a 2019 SQ5. Neither of us is inclined or skilled enough to perform (all of) the scheduled annual maintenance, so we are looking for recommendations in the Boulder area — can anyone offer opinions, anecdotes, preferences, etc for a repair shop?

Right now we’re looking at Boulder Audi, German Motors and Modern Motors. I’m sure there are others, but this is the first time I’ve tried some due diligence on finding the “right” place.

To be more precise, I’m likely wiling/capable of doing things like air filter, cabin filter, lube door hinges, tire pressure, etc. So the repair shop we’d need is one that would be flexible enough to do a “cafeteria plan”, i.e. addressing only my specific list of must-haves. This would include:

• Check the thickness of the disc brake pads
• Change oil and replace filter
• Multi-Point Inspection
• Service Reminder Indicator display - Reset display
• Body - Check for damage and corrosion
• Check condition of brake hoses and the presence of the bleeder caps
• Cooling system for electrical components
• Engine cooling system - Check freeze protection and coolant level
• Front, rear axle/suspension - Check dust seals on ball joints and tie rod ends; check for excessive play
• Headlights - Check adjustment
• Road test - engine performance, transmission, hand/foot braking, steering, wheels, wheel bearings, driveshaft + visual inspection for leaks and damage
• Underbody - Check the covers and inner fender liners for damage and correct fit

Probably moving into the TMI category here, so I’ll pause. Again, many thanks in advance to anyone who can offer their thoughts.

It’s a bit of a drive from Boulder, but another Front Range independent shop is Hardey’s MotorWerks in Parker, CO. Here’s a link to their website: https://www.hardeysmotorwerks.com

Thanks, but the distance to Parker is a bit impractical.
