But there was also a lot of stuff:

Recommended 55k mi service (at 42k mi) - laundry list of normal stuff
All 4 upper link bushings
Both front lower control arm bushings
All 4 brake pads and rotors
2 new tires
Trim rattle repair

Is your car a Quattro? I keep seeing dealerships change out just two tires on AWD cars. That used to be a big no-no. Has something changed?

All S4s are quattros.

I've never heard that about two tires and AWD cars. Have swapped out two tires on this car before at the dealership as well, with no pushback.

"Audi: As published in their vehicle owner's manual, "rolling radius of all 4 tires must remain the same" or within 4/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth."

OOF.

Well we are good then. Non replaced tires were 6/32+ and new tires are 10/32.

Too much diameter difference will burn up the center diff/transfer case.

Got 1 wheel straightened and the other de-rashed. This place seems to do good work and I’d use them more often if they a) weren’t in Chantilly, and b) were open on the weekends.
