can anyone tell me the price of a recent service for the beast?

just got my car back and was told on the phone a few weeks ago £260 for oil service however collects car.............................372.62

£178.60 :shock: Labour technician name Ric hard (aka Dick) Turpin

£10.62 filter
and 10 Litres of oil IS THIS RIGHT THOUGHT THEY TOOK 8 LITRES
10 litres at £11.70.....£117.00

then the VAT ....................what effing Value have I had for them to add tax?

anywayjust wondered if this is right and if anyone knows if 10 litres or 8 is correct that would help

and what labour rates others are paying

CheeRS Grizz. I know youve been recommended to me by other membeRS but I get worried that I have to keep up the service stamp at main dealers foe 2 reasons (1) beciase future buyers will expect a FMDSH and (2) Ive been led to believe other services would void the warranty as it has te be serviced in accordance with Audis desgnated service schedules to continue coverage

outside of this i'd be happy to give you the money and know it was being treated as it should be

out of the 10 litres you order what left over for you to stick it in the boot

thanks mate

£372 is a lot for the oil service, have a search on here and you'll find different people's posts on how much they've paid, my last oil service from Audi main dealer was £215.87 inc VAT (10 litres of oil). My rule of thumb is £250 for oil service £450 for major service £1000 for cam belt & service.

you can have your audi serviced at any garage as long as they are VAT registered and use OE quality parts and tou will not void any manufacturers warranty due to the block exemption regulation of 2002.just make sure they have vast audi knowledge before you let them loose on your pride and joy ! :kissmyrings:

Hi Chaps -

APS Brackley (lovely people and competent too) have just done the small service on my one - princely sum of £148.55 :D . Never ever going back to the dealers (no point they just make things worse and charge you extra for the pain)
