I almost went with the lowest bidder when my 2018 Q7's transmission started slipping. The cheap shop quoted me about 40 percent less than the place my friend recommended. But something made me nervous – the cheap guy couldn't tell me what fluid he planned to use or give me any warranty beyond a handshake. So I bit the bullet and went with a workshop that provides Top-Tier Audi Service Abu Dhabi and honestly yeah it hurt my wallet at the time. But now three months and about 5,000 km later, the car still shifts absolutely perfectly, no leaks, no warning lights, nothing. The shop even called me twice just to check in and see how things were going. The cheap place probably would have been fine for a while but I've had too many bad experiences with transmission work failing after a few months. For me the peace of mind was worth the extra money. Anyone else paid more upfront and felt it was the right call in the long run?
