2019 Audi S4 — two-post lift in a residential garage

Ceiling height looks workable, but I am more worried about slab thickness, concrete strength, anchor layout and garage-door tracks. What measurements should be confirmed before shopping lifts? Mileage is about 31,000.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2019 Audi S4 in Detroit, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “two-post lift in a residential garage,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Do that first. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2019 Audi S4 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. Do that first. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2019 Audi S4 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2019 Audi S4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2019 Audi S4 in Detroit. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2019 Audi S4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2019 Audi S4 in Detroit. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
