Default Parking brake cable replacement

Hey guys — proud owner of my first S4 Avant! Unfortunately our local mechanic adjusted the parking brake so it's now impossible to pull, and they say the cables are fully stretched and need to be replaced but Audi has stopped making the part.

Needless to say I won't be bringing it back to this shop, but in the meantime has anyone else dealt with this? I'm new to the Audi world so any advice on how to find parts for these older models is much appreciated!

Can you clarify “impossible to pull”? Does the parking brake lever move at all? Are the cables seized? Are the rear calipers dragging?
