i hope youre kidding!! can you really not unscrew one bolt to drain your oil and take your right hand and unscrew the filter? you could have done 3 synthetic oil changes yourself for that much

(cost $135 btw for oil change)

yeah x23 on the warped rotors.. b6s are known for it...
audi warrantied my rotors then the second time, i went aftermarket
i would get some aftermarket cross drilled or slotted or both depending on your preference, some say drilled crack but i think that was back in the day or if u track your car heavy... i have both just for looks.... slots do use pads slightly quicker though... but keep the fade down and help in the rain too
but do the rotors with some kinds CD or slots or plain is fine too
get some better pads like mintex redbox,hawk hps pbr... search around to see what ppl say,. i have hawk ceramics and they are spongy till they are warmed up but very very little dust
also if u got the $ do stainless steel lines and some motul 5.1 (bettter) fluid and it will improve the feel 100%

I'd suggest checking lug torque too - if the last person to take the wheels off put them back on and just grape-aped the lugs without using a torque wrench, unequal torque on the lugs could slightly distort the rotors and create the pulsation (had it happen to me before). It's probably going to be rotors themselves, but this is worth checking into - if you have a torque wrench, it's free.
