Any old back street garage can do this job for you so don't jump to the conclusion that you need to visit a specialist for every single job.
There are 8 CV joints on a 4wd car so go somewhere recommended to you or somewhere you trust and ask them to inspect the lot for piece of mind. On one of my previous cars, the boot had split without me realising and losing all the grease. I had it repacked with a new boot but the damage was done by then. Replaced the joint and had all the others checked at the same time. They found 2 other split boots that were just on their way so it was a simple fix to what could have been a major failure.
Regular maintenance is so important!!!

CV boots on these and other cars are a really common problem, I've done both front outer boots on mine so far in two years. The symptons of an outer CV joint or boot are generally vibrations at speed. As said I don't always take mine to a specialist but choose a local garage who have a guy there who knows these Audi's inside out and always does great work at labour rates of 40 notes/hour and I usually supply the part myself.
