My Ioniq 6 was shaking and vibrating a lot while driving around today, so I turned on the disc brake cleaning function and slowed down from 65 to 45 half a dozen times to heat up the brakes. That melted the ice around the brakes and in the wheels, and the car went back to driving normally.
I never had an Audi but I have a 2009 VW Jetta that's still running, it's my grocery getter. The breaks have lasted since 2012 as insane as that is, there's still a 3/4th of carbon on the pads. I changed the oil all the time, grew up with a car dad. But if VW's are anything like Audi's just maintain it and it'll run for the next decade.
I put brakes from a 2008 R32 on my MK6 gti. They were cheaper than the golf r on ebay at the time. They work really well.
For me as an owner of a 2019 Hyundai Veloster with 60k and after 5 years of ownership , the only thing I had to do was change the oil , filter and brake pads.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
