Any good Audi transmission specialists in Dubai? Starting to get worried about my S tronic

    I've got a 2017 A5 with the S tronic gearbox, and over the past couple of weeks I've noticed it's been getting a bit jerky, especially when downshifting in stop-start traffic. There's also a slight hesitation when I pull away from a standstill that wasn't there before. I've heard horror stories about mechatronic unit failures on these DSG boxes, and I'm starting to get genuinely worried that I'm looking at a very expensive bill soon. I'm based in Dubai and I'd rather avoid the dealership prices if possible, but I also don't want to trust a general garage that might not have the right diagnostic tools for these complex transmissions. I've seen a few places mentioned online, including one that offers Premier Audi Transmission Repair Dubai, and they seem to specialize in German cars with services like DSG and S tronic diagnostics along with mechatronic unit repairs . Does anyone here have any personal experience with a transmission specialist in Dubai, preferably in the Al Quoz area? I'm hoping it might just need an adaptation reset or a fluid change, but I want to be prepared for the worst. Any honest recommendations would be massively appreciated right now. Cheers.
