If you own an Audi, there’s a good chance you already know that a high-quality vehicle needs the best service. A run of the mill service any Audi will not do. At H&B Karmakanix, we know just the service you need. Since 1973, we have proudly served the Berkeley area as the go-to spot for all Audi repair and maintenance. Our team of ASE-certified technicians have over 40 years of experience tuning up classics like the Audi 100 or Audi Sport Quattro. This, in addition to doing regular scheduled service on the latest Audi S7 and RS5 models. If your Audi has suffered significant damage due to a mechanical issue, rest assured our staff will get your Audi vehicle right and ready to go. We will now share with you some of the services and repairs you can expect when you visit our shop.

One of the major repairs we perform on Audis involves their engine. A common issue with many Audis deals with faulty ignition coils. Ignition coils provide the necessary spark that ignites the engine's fuel-air mixture, producing power. Another symptom is the loss of engine performance. Our technician will run the system on all ignition coils to determine which is faulty. As a precaution, we will replace the faulty coil and spark plugs to keep everything consistent. To keep engine emissions down, the EGR valve recirculates exhaust gases back into the cylinders and lowers internal engine temperatures. When it begins to fail, you'll notice a reduction in power plus reduced fuel mileage. A full diagnostic will determine if the valve needs a thorough cleaning or a replacement.

In addition to engine repair, our team has tremendous expertise in Audi suspension and axle repair. One repair we focus on in particular is the CV (Constant Velocity) joint, which acts as a bridge between the transmission and the wheels. The boot acts as a cover for the joint, keeping dirt and water out of the joint and keeping it lubricated. A failing CV joint can spell a certain disaster for your vehicle's axle assembly. If the axle wears out completely, it can not be repaired. If you notice the clunking sound, we recommend you bring it to a shop immediately. Once one of the techs examines it, they can go and replace the boot, saving you valuable time and money on the repair.

After our tech has completed their repair, they will take your Audi on one final test drive before submitting their repair report. We'll then contact you, letting you know your vehicle is ready for pick up. As you arrive, one of our service advisors will take you through the repair notes and inform you of what to look out for on the road. We'll give you a complete view of what services to expect and recommendations on future repairs.
