Hi
First of all, thank you so much for spending a full hour on my car and not charging me for it. I really appreciated your kindness.
Because of that, I felt it’s my duty to share this with you.
I took the car to the Audi dealer and they explained the problem: when the battery is replaced with an aftermarket one on a 2024 Q3, the car needs battery coding using their diagnostic tool. Without this coding, the ECU gets confused and shows steering angle sensor error plus all the driver assist warnings.
They did the battery coding and reset the steering angle sensor, and now everything is working perfectly.
Just wanted you to have this information for the next time you see the same issue.
Thanks again.
I had an outstanding experience with Top Gear Automotive Service—this is hands down one of the most honest and professional auto shops I’ve dealt with.
Faraz runs the shop with integrity and a clear commitment to quality. From the moment I walked in, everything felt organized, transparent, and customer-focused. No upselling, no pressure—just straightforward advice and solid workmanship.
A big shoutout as well to their senior mechanic Jeffrey—his technical knowledge is top-tier, and you can tell he takes real pride in doing the job right the first time. Soroush was also fantastic to deal with—professional, friendly, and very attentive to detail.
What really sets this shop apart is trust. They explain the work clearly, give fair pricing, and deliver exactly what they promise. In an industry where that’s not always guaranteed, these guys stand out.
If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and honest mechanic, I highly recommend Top Gear Automotive Service. I’ll definitely be coming back and referring others.
I’ve been coming to Top Gear for over 10 years and they never disappoint. Whether it’s a routine oil change or a complex repair, Faraz, Soroush and the other staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. They never push unnecessary repairs and always stand by their work. Hands down the best mechanics in town!

I had a very good experience. The people working there are very respectful, friendly, and pleasant. The workplace is clean and stylish. The technical services are outstanding, with clear explanations and helpful recommendations.
Sometimes I question their diagnosis. It feels like they may be guessing or upselling. Not major costs but every little bit adds up. I’m happy for the most part.
