My S5 broke down outside of Albany, about 200 miles from home. I called R&D and had the car towed there. They were able to diagnose and repair the transmission for far less than I expected. They were also extremely flexible about when I picked the car up, which was a huge help. I got my car back clean and ready to drive.
