Default Got a Flat

I was pulling out of the shopping center near my house and the car started to ride funny. Pulling the the left side. I knew something was wrong so I pulled over and saw that start of a leak. I managed to get home as there was enough air in the tires to avoid riding the rim and I was about 1 mile from home. I got home and it got worse. I called roadside assistance and they came a few hours later and started to replace the tire with the spare. In the process they managed to break the little box that has the flare in it. Now this is my question. When I bring the car to Audi for repair of the flat, will they repair it for free and will they replace the spare and all components in their proper spaces, and most importiantly will they fix the tool box? Just a few questions.

PS - I examined the tire and it looks like someone slashed the drivers side front tire. It was on the wall and looked like a screwdriver size mark. Damn!

Road assistance for a flat ??? You'll have to pay for the repair anyway.

Default Audi replaced my plastic tire /wheel holder bag free. Prolly will replace flare box.

I didn't know I had a flare. Mine is FWD 180, US model. Anyone tell me where to find this flare?

The only reason I called road side assitance was because the use of the air wrenches makes taking the lugs off a tedious chore. Besides, for $35k, the least they can do is take the tire off for me.
