Do you know the codes they pulled? post them up
Is it the same cylinder(s) misfiring all the time?
Since you have wires pick up 6 spark testers and have some one rev the car till it starts to break up. If it is spark, one of your testers will go out. At least that will give you a direction. Check your wires and connections.
You can stick the wires of LEDs with built in resistors (radio shack) into your injector terminals and put the terminal back on to see if one of them is cutting out on the electric end. If you pull them out you can test them with a 9volt battery and hear if they are clicking. After that you need to check volume and see if they are spraying.
You need to determine whether you are not getting spark or not getting fuel. If you have both spark and fuel then it could be timing related maybe a cam sensor. Maybe water in the fuel.
Audi Audi Audi those mechanics leave a lot to be desired!
