This technological investment translates directly into faster, more accurate diagnoses and repairs. When your check engine light illuminates or you experience performance issues, we don’t guess—we know exactly what your Audi needs because we can communicate with it the same way the dealership does.

Transparent Pricing That Respects Your Investment

Johns Creek residents from Rivermont to Oxford Mill consistently tell us their biggest frustration with dealership service is unexpected costs and unnecessary upselling. At Solo Motorsports, we believe in radical transparency. Before any work begins, you’ll receive a detailed estimate explaining exactly what needs attention, why it matters, and how much it will cost. We’ll also distinguish between immediate safety concerns, recommended maintenance, and items that can wait—putting you in control of your service decisions.

On average, our clients save 30-40% compared to dealership prices while receiving the same quality parts and superior customer service. We achieve these savings through lower overhead costs and our commitment to honest recommendations rather than commission-based service writing.

Industry-Leading 3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty

Confidence in our workmanship allows us to offer one of the automotive industry’s most comprehensive warranties: 3 years or 36,000 miles on most parts and labor. This warranty demonstrates our commitment to quality and provides you with peace of mind that exceeds most dealership warranties. If something we’ve repaired fails within the warranty period, we’ll make it right—no questions asked, no fine print surprises.

What Makes Audi Ownership Special (And Why Specialized Care Matters)

Audi vehicles aren’t simply German alternatives to mainstream luxury brands—they represent a distinct engineering philosophy that prioritizes technology, performance, and driver engagement. Understanding what makes your Audi unique helps explain why specialized service matters:

Quattro All-Wheel Drive: Audi pioneered modern all-wheel-drive technology for passenger vehicles, and their Quattro system remains among the industry’s most sophisticated. This technology requires specialized knowledge for proper diagnosis and repair, particularly when servicing differentials, Haldex systems (in transverse-engine models), or Torsen systems (in longitudinal-engine models).

Progressive Design & Technology: Audi consistently introduces cutting-edge technology years before competitors. From LED lighting to Virtual Cockpit digital displays to matrix headlights, these advanced systems require technicians who understand not just how they work, but how to properly diagnose and repair them when issues arise.

Turbocharged Engine Technology: Nearly all modern Audis feature turbocharged engines, from the efficient 2.0T four-cylinder to the powerful twin-turbo V6 and V8 variants. Turbocharged engines require specific maintenance approaches, particular attention to oil quality and change intervals, and understanding of boost systems that general technicians often lack.

German Engineering Standards: Audi vehicles are engineered to specific tolerances and specifications that differ significantly from domestic or Asian manufacturers. Using incorrect parts or shortcuts in repairs can compromise performance, reliability, and safety.

Common Audi Problems Johns Creek Owners Face (And How We Fix Them)

Through years of servicing Johns Creek’s Audi population, we’ve identified several recurring issues that affect various models and years. Understanding these common concerns can help you recognize early warning signs and avoid more expensive repairs:

Carbon Buildup in Direct Injection Engines

Affected Models: Most Audis with TSI/TFSI engines (A3, A4, A5, Q5, Q7)

Symptoms: Rough idle, hesitation during acceleration, reduced fuel economy, check engine light

The Issue: Audi’s direct injection engines spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber rather than the intake ports. This means fuel never washes the back of the intake valves, allowing carbon deposits to accumulate over time. This is a design characteristic, not a defect, but requires periodic attention.

Our Solution: Professional walnut shell blasting—a process that gently removes carbon deposits without damaging valve surfaces. We recommend this service every 60,000-80,000 miles as preventive maintenance.

Oil Consumption in Early 2.0T and 3.0T Engines

Affected Models: 2009-2016 A4, A5, Q5 with 2.0T engines; various models with 3.0T supercharged engines

Symptoms: Low oil warning between changes, visible exhaust smoke, reduced performance

The Issue: Some engines from this era experience higher-than-normal oil consumption due to piston ring design. While Audi issued extended warranties for severe cases, many affected vehicles are now outside warranty coverage.

Our Solution: First, we verify actual consumption through monitoring. For moderate consumption, more frequent oil level checks and top-offs may be sufficient. For severe cases, we discuss engine repair or replacement options including updated pistons and rings.

Timing Chain Tensioner Failures

Affected Models: Various models with 2.0T and 3.0T engines, particularly 2008-2013

Symptoms: Rattling noise on cold starts, check engine light with timing-related codes

The Issue: Early tensioner designs can fail, allowing excessive timing chain slack that can lead to catastrophic engine damage if not addressed.

Our Solution: When diagnosed early, tensioner replacement is straightforward. We replace not just the tensioner but associated guides and often the timing chain itself to ensure complete repair.

Water Pump Failures

Affected Models: Nearly all Audi models, particularly those with 2.0T engines

Symptoms: Coolant leaks, overheating, whining noise from engine compartment

The Issue: Audi water pumps are often plastic and fail more frequently than traditional metal pumps. Some are mechanically driven, others are electric.

Our Solution: We typically recommend water pump replacement during timing belt or timing chain service to prevent being stranded by an unexpected failure. Upgraded aftermarket pumps with metal impellers are available for some applications.

Electronic Parking Brake Issues

Affected Models: Most newer Audis with electronic parking brakes (roughly 2012 and newer)

Symptoms: Parking brake error messages, inability to release parking brake, unusual noises

The Issue: The electronic parking brake system uses electric motors to actuate the rear brake calipers. These motors and associated modules can fail over time.

Our Solution: Proper diagnosis requires factory-level diagnostic tools (which we have). Solutions range from simple calibrations to motor or module replacement. We often recommend servicing the electronic parking brake system during routine brake service to prevent failures.

Coolant System Leaks

Affected Models: All Audis, particularly as they age

Symptoms: Sweet smell from engine compartment, visible coolant puddles, overheating

The Issue: Audi coolant systems use numerous plastic connectors, hoses, and components that become brittle with age and heat cycling. Common failure points include thermostat housings, coolant flanges, and hose connections.

Our Solution: When one component fails, we inspect the entire cooling system and often recommend replacing multiple components to prevent being stranded by the next weakest link. We use upgraded metal components where available.
