RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Just had two conflicting stories from two Audi dealers regarding my 18k service on the RS4. [service] flashed up!

I have asked for pricing on the service and a geometry set-up.

One Dealer has said £350 inc parts, labour, VAT + £170 inc for the geometry set up.

The second has said £690 inc parts, labour, VAT + £250 inc for the geometry set up.

The only difference is that the second dealer says that I require new spark plaugs at £10 each + 1.9 hours @ £95 per hour.

I guess the question is - do you need plaugs at 18k? What should they be doing for the 18k service? They are both part of the same chain - just about 20 miles apart!!!!

The second lot are ripping you off by clearly not understanding the job of servicing an RS4 - from that I'd stay well clear.
I just had my 40k for about £400 which included plugs, filters etc.
You should change plugs every 20k anyway.
Who quoted you what? There are quite a few owners around your neck of the woods that will point you in the direction of a dealer that can do the job.

All the best,

Ben

Any advice on decent dealers around the Reading/Basingstoke area, just for future reference?!

Cheers,
