Euro Car Mechanic Recommendation

Have an Audi that’s in need of engine service. Before I call the dealership, want to see if anyone has a recommendation for a European car mechanic in the Charleston area. Closer to Summerville area is more ideal because of the engine issue, but will risk distance for quality work.

Auto Start/Stop Malfunction

Going to take it to the dealer to have it checked, but was wondering if any of you had this before, and what I should expect. Other Reddit posts suggest it’s more likely a faulty turbo. Ugh.

If you have the 20ish tires (254/50/20), I recommend Scorpion AS 4—crazy mpg numbers

I have a 2023 Gas Limited FWD with just over 47k miles and just got new tires this weekend.

OEM are Pirelli P Zero, which are $360ish per tire. So, I went with Pirelli Scorpion AS 4 (crazy hard to find btw 🤷‍♂️) for $262 a tire.

The reason for this post is the Scorpions have 4.5/5 resistance rating (how much force it takes to move the tire with 0 being awful). I was GENUINELY shocked how much difference that rating makes. I was getting ~25mpg highway short distance (20-30 miles), now I’m getting ~36mpg.

Anyways, sharing to help.

Business Groups

I’m a small business owner in the area, and I’m looking for recommendations on small to medium size business groups, events, masterminds, etc. in the Charleston area. Found Charleston Business Group and Great Business Network online, but both seem questionable.

New to Me 2018 Q5

Just picked this up. Loving it so far.

I’ll need to replace the rear seat cup holder and struggling to find anything on how to remove it. Would appreciate any links that can help.
