    Question Help:Independent shop need suspension work on a 14' S4 (Brooklyn or Queens preferably

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Dealer is giving me the run around I feel like and their numbers seem really off.

    I know the minimum is a tie rod but they're of course suggesting a lot more...
    I checked out ecs and few other part sites and I was hard pressed to get more than 2k on parts for the below.
    What should a job like this cost? Any thoughts on shops? The car is drivable but I wouldn't take it past Queens and I may even have it towed at this point.

    LOWER TRAILING ARM, ELECTRONIC RACK N PINION, OUTER TIE ROD, UPPER
    TRAILING ARM, ALIGNMENT

    Eurotech Motorsports. Hands down. No other place I have taken any of my cars to in the last 6 years. They are in Mahwah which is very close and worth the ride for the level of quality, worksmanship, and pricing. Great guys. Ask for Danek or Ryan.

    You'd have to tow it out to us, but we're happy to help if you need another opinion.

    Thanks everyone, just seeing the new replies now. I'll bookmark this for the future.

    Unfortunately a deep pothole which pulled the car towards a protruding curb, some of the streets here aren't on a normal grid layout, and are really difficult to see. Thankfully there was no real damage to the the car other than suspension pieces and the wheel. I feel like I'm getting taken for a ride but I can't spend anymore time taking it to shops now. I don't think this is the type of work anyone would warranty as they're wear and tear/exposed to the road parts really and ultimately it's my fault.

    I had it briefly on a lift at a small euro shop and they couldn't do the work they said but we didn't see a lot of damage. I just feel like the dealership want's to replace as much of the suspension as possible but I don't have the time to fight with them and I can not have a car for an extended period of time.

    I ended up just filing a claim due to the cost. If that doesn't pan out which I can't imagine I'll revisit the shops above. I've had problems in the past in the city getting seen/work done when I need it but this go around just felt futile.

    Thanks again for the advice everyone and the shops that reached out.

    It is quite possible for you to have sustained that much damage from what happened. If the shock is bent then the arms are probably bent too, just enough that the naked eye may not see it but an alignment rack would. Same thing happened to my brother's car on a rainy night. The steering rack was fine, but all the arms and his coilover had to be replaced.

    Good luck with the fix
