Need to get my audi serviced in north london

[LuluJam]

Hi,
I'm new to the site and hope you can help. I've got an Audi A4, 2006 model which I bought 6 months ago and now need to get serviced. I live in north London but don't want to pay Audi rates. Can someone recommend anywhere where I won't get ripped off, as I know pretty much zero about cars. I've found a few on the internet, including the Russell Automotive Centre, which is close to where I live, but it would be great to get advice from people who know more than I do!

thanks!

Rac is ok for servicing and cheaper than a main dealer.Just be carefull,that they might tell you other stuff needs replacing soon(which most likely doesn't).If I was you I'd do 2 things to save yourself a LOT of money,since it's just a service you're after:
1.have a look through the posts on this forum about how to service the car yourself.There should be plenty describing how to change oil,oil filter,pollen filter,air filter and diesel filter.
2.If you're still not confiden't you can do it yourself than just pop to halfords and buy the Haynes manual for the audi4(b7)which will have a good "how to"(with photos) on all the parts that would need changing during a service.You can buy all the filters from Audi.You can go to halfords for the oil as is cheaper than buying it from Audi.I reckon you would save at least £150-£200 by doing it yourself.
