Audi makes incredible machines. But they are complex. A used Audi A6 or Q7 might look perfect on the outside, but underneath, it could be hiding thousands of Dirhams in repairs.
A standard "quick check" isn't enough. Audis suffer from specific issues like oil consumption, DSG gearbox failures, and air suspension leaks.
We don't just "look" at the car. We are Audi Specialists. We use dealer-level computers and trained eyes to tell you the true condition of the vehicle before you hand over your cash.
Many buyers think, "The car passed the RTA test, so it's fine." This is a dangerous mistake.

We cover 150+ points, but here are the critical areas we focus on for Audis:
We plug into the car's brain. We check for "cleared codes" (errors the seller tried to hide), verify the mileage in the transmission module (to spot odometer fraud), and check the health of electronic modules.
The gearbox is the most expensive part of an Audi. We test for rough shifting, delayed engagement, and clutch wear to ensure the "Mechatronic" unit isn't failing.
We look for the notorious Audi oil leaks (valve covers, rear main seal). We check the turbo for boost pressure and strange noises. We also check for coolant leaks which can ruin the engine.
We lift the car to check control arms, bushings, and air suspension struts. These are common failure points on models like the Q7 and A8.
The Dubai market is flooded with "American Spec" or "Japanese Import" Audis.
We have experience with the entire range:
A3, A4, A5, A6, A8
Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8
S-Line, RS Models, and R8
