Shop broke the windshield while trying to replace the mirror, so they replaced it at their cost (after I argued with them about 'sharing' the cost!). 
103000 mi Shortly after replacement of lower control arms, car manifest a speed dependent vibration. Brought back to same shop who claimed they could not 'feel' or diagnose anything wrong with car. 
103000 mi Took car to a different shop for vibration problem. Had to accompany mechanic who then agreed he could feel vibration. Recommended new tires so I replaced all four despite two being ok. Vibration improved but was not eliminated. Decided to bring to actual Audi dealer instead of independent shop. Dealer agreed problem existed but pronounced the drivetrain sound and blamed aftermarket wheels (on car when bought 4 years prior!) Am at a loss now.....
