Approved Dealer Service Pricing

[DeutscheAuto]

A3 1.9 TDI Special Edition / Done 36,000 and telling me service due in approx 1300 miles.

Spoken to local Audi dealer and they quoted me 213.19 (inc vat) for inspection service.

On ebay Stafford Audi are advertising £99.99 (inc vat) interim service for A3.

What's the score here? Should I be aware of anything? In particular what differentiates inspection from interim service?

Hi

When i enquired about the £99 pound service at audi they stated that it is a yearly service and therfore will not be using the long life service oil and the service interval will be set to yearly instead of mileage(i.e car service warning light will come on after 12 months instead of approx 18,000 miles).Apparantly the oil is the expensive part i think around 8-10 punds per litre.

Hope this helps

Well i'll be dambed called up a few dealorships and all but one said yes you will be moved to fixed servicing. Preston Audi said i would stay on longlife unless i specifically ask to changed to fixed servicing.
