Default Audi Mechanic

I have a 2000 S4 with ~91k miles. and I'm looking for a good Audi mechanic in the San Diego area for some repairs and possible moding in the future.

I recently took my Audi into the dealer to get my oil changed and they came back with a list of problems. Which include: secondary water pump leak(already fixed), rear differential seal leaking (est. from dealer 650$), and all 4 control arm upper ball joints loose (est. from dealer 1100$). Which is just a little expensive... Any help would be much appreciated thanks!

The only two I have found so far are Group5 and Exalt as far as motorsport goes. . Neither are exactly cheap. I know there are some smaller euro car garages around that may be cheaper. So far I've been to Exalt but I have been trying to do what I can on my own. I have heard good things about pure motorsport in Temecula area and raven in long beach, but im down in san diego and thats too far for me.

My brothers have a shop in Pasadena, Euro Motor Group, they both are enthusiasts and have engineering degrees, one of them masters from USC. I know not close to SD, I guess a shamless plug.

We've had great experiences with Lusti on El Cajon Blvd in San Diego. We've taken all three of the Audis we've owned there - 2 A4s and an S6. We never had any mods done there, but found their service to be thorough and priced competitively.
