Just a sample text from heading As an independent German car specialist, we have worked on thousands of cars throughout our 30-plus years. This experience has taught us that the safest method to guarantee that our customers' cars STOP when they press the brake pedal is to properly diagnose and test the Audi brake system!
Our mechanics will check every component of your braking system for proper function and excessive wear. When replacements are needed, we only use Audi OEM/OES (Original Equipment Manufacturer/Original Equipment Supplier) parts.
Over the years we have tried many different variations of brake components on Audis, and what we have learned is that the original brake rotors perform better for street use than any other combination. The superior performance and lack of any noise or vibration make them ideal for daily driving.
A shaking steering wheel as you slow down from highway speeds can often be cured with new Audi brake discs/rotors. As the non-original rotors heat cycle from driving, they often become warped like an LP record.
The Audi rotors are cast from very soft and porous steel; they dissipate heat very uniformly, and when the factory pads are used, the pores at the surface of the rotors collect and hold carbon from the linings to help adhesion and minimize vibrations.
Ever notice the way the rotors on your Audi rust in what seems like minutes after a car wash? Also, sometimes squeaks can be heard on a rainy day. This is a result of washing the carbon away. Our recommendation is to install original brakes on your Audi unless you intend to compete on a track. Remember to go easy on your new brakes for the first 200 miles. This will harden the lining materials and maximize the performance and longevity of the linings. Most brake jobs can be done the same day at German Car Depot.

Changing the fluids in your car is the most important maintenance procedure a car owner can do to prevent their vehicle from breaking down. This also includes the brake fluid!
The brake fluid used by the Audi factory is a light amber or tan color. Typically, Audis take DOT 4 brake fluid; you should replace it if it has taken on a dark amber or dark brown hue. Additionally, it would be a good idea to think about changing your Audi brake fluid if it has been two years or 24,000 miles and you do not have any records of it.
At German Car Depot, we use a pressure bleeding system to ensure all of the fluid is replaced and no air is introduced.
