Oof. Merry Christmas.

I think a wheel bearing would not need an Audi-specific mechanic, just
someone who has some experience doing wheel bearings. If the list doesn't
come through with a name, I'd call some local places and ask if they have
a Hub Shark or similar.  If they say, "A what?", try another mechanic. The
Hub Shark will let them change the bearing without removing the hub/strut.
