Learn More →German Auto Doctor is Simi Valley's European vehicle specialist, and the Audi Auto Specialist is part of that family. Our technicians hold Audi-specific training and work with specialty diagnostic equipment — not generic scan tools. We stock OEM-approved VW Group lubricants, genuine Audi filters, and OEM parts, so every service is performed to dealer-level standards.
Simi Valley Audi owners come to us because we understand the platform: EA888 timing chain concerns, DSG mechatronic service, quattro drivetrain maintenance, and B8/B9 multi-link suspension wear all have known patterns. We diagnose the root cause the first time, document what we find, and give you an honest recommendation -- not a parts-swapping guess.
Every vehicle leaves with a full digital inspection report and photos of anything we found. If your Audi is approaching a major service interval, we'll flag what's coming before it becomes a breakdown.
Audi V8 TFSI — factory-spec inspection and service.
Yes. We service all Audi DSG and S tronic variants — DL501, DQ250, DQ381, and others — with genuine fluid, filter, and full mechanical inspection. Audi's service indicator often extends intervals beyond what the transmission tolerates well; we recommend service every 40,000 miles regardless of the indicator reading.
We use VW-approved oils matched exactly to your engine's spec — VW 502.00 for pre-EA888 engines, VW 504.00 for EA888 Gen 1/2, and VW 508.00 or 509.00 for EA888 Gen 3 and newer. Using a non-certified oil on an Audi, especially one with LSPI protection requirements, risks accelerated engine wear that shows up 50,000 miles later.
Yes. We specialize in the EA888 Gen 1 (2.0T pre-2013) timing chain replacement — chain, tensioner, guides, and all associated gaskets as a single complete job. We also service the 2.7T and 3.0T timing chain systems found in the A6, Q7, and S4. We use OEM chain kits, not aftermarket substitutes.
Yes. We service both the first-generation e-tron SUV and the Q4 e-tron. Brake fluid, cabin air filter, tire rotation, and suspension service remain identical to combustion Audis. We use factory-level specialty diagnostic equipment s for battery health checks, fault code analysis, and high-voltage system inspection on all EV applications.
Trusted in Simi Valley
They diagnosed an intermittent misfire on my A4 that two other shops couldn't find. Turned out to be a failing ignition coil on cylinder 3 — they showed me exactly what the diagnostic data revealed. Haven't had the issue since.
