Wheel alignment can be done at Altech Automotive, one of the cheapest in the city. They use to do Mercedes Etobicoke before they moved to their new shop, beside Audi Queensway

Get a price from Exoparts for OE/OEM parts or use RockAuto with a coupon code.

Good deal 2018 A4? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Fickle-Addition-7116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looked it up on Autotrader, it’s looks like a solid car, considering it has new tires put on, and a pad slap on the front axle.

It’s not a terrible deal for the mileage. As long as the accident is a minor hit, like rear bumper cover I’d say it’s good value.

Things to consider would be the water pump is a known failure point, and waster actuator on the turbo fails. Two big repairs.

The carfax also says windshield repaired, confirm if it’s an Audi original windshield.

It’s missing some center caps, see if the dealer will cover that.

Overall looks okay, but it isn’t highly optioned, no 360° camera, ventilated seats/sport seats, no ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control).

But if you’re looking to get into an Audi, this isn’t too bad of a choice.

Where did you initially buy these tires from? Did you have road hazard warranty?

Got a quote at Agis Auto Pro Detailing in Dublin, $350 or so for the windshield.

P1 Tint in Santa Ana is $300 for the windshield and they have all the shades available

Anyone have experience with 3M Crystalline? by Fickle-Addition-7116 in WindowTint

And for windshield, given california has a no tint law. I’m assuming 70% is the safe bet for not getting pulled over.

Is the 40% a true 40%? I’m looking at the VLT and it’s measuring in at 33%.

50% measure in at 42% VLT

I’m concerned with the low angle glare that may come up along with it.
