Anyone had to deal with a dead Audi battery in the middle of summer?

    I’m kind of kicking myself because I’ve been hearing this weird clicking noise for a couple of weeks when turning the key, but I kept putting it off. Then yesterday after work, absolute silence. Wouldn’t jump, wouldn’t even light up the dash. A colleague mentioned the Audi car battery replacement service and sent me a link to check, but I’m still trying to figure out if it’s worth going through a specialist or just grabbing something from a regular garage. Has anyone here actually used a place that knows these cars well? I’m worried about messing up the start-stop system or the computer. Any advice on what to look for before I get towed somewhere?
