Default Need help...A4 had a flat tire in the garage...

...I took the wheel off and put the spare on but I couldn't find the puncture on the wheel I took off. All 4 tires had plenty of air. My question is whether or not I should bring it to Audi to get it fixed or just go to the local tire shop around the corner tomorrow. What else could make the tire go flat besides air pressure? Could their have been something wrong with the tire itself?

I would take it and get it fixed at a tire store. Find out why it went flat and if it was from some source of defective material or item from Audi get it documented and take to the dealer.
That way you get the tire fixed without messing with the dealer and if it was a problem on Audi's behalf then you may be able to get reimbursed or a credit in the service department.
That's just what I would do.
I may just be a small puncture in the tire they can plug.

Good luck

Default Better make sure the local tire place an handle your 17" wheels without damage...

better bet is dealer as if he damages the wheel he will replace it!
