Audi service plan

[moresimon]

I am seriously thinking of taking out one of their service and maintenance plans for my new RS6. Anyone here have experience with these ?

I am being quoted £79.15 per month based upon 10K miles per annum with 8p per mile above this (alternative was £133.88 per month basis 15K) and contract length can be 12 mos through to 3 years.

I am told the price includes everything (brakes and tyres inc).

Feedback appreciated

Well, that's a lot more than I paid for service in the first year/10000 miles. Now over 14,000 miles and the original tyres still have plenty of tread and no sign of the brakes needing any attention. The first service cost me £308.

I needed new front pads at the 10k service! hey Peter, do you ever stop?

I have the plan, including tyres. In the long term - 3 years - I think it will be worth it. 2 small! services, 1 big one, set of tyres, two sets of pads, a set of discs, a brake fluid change and pos an anti freeze change.

The plan will equate to under 3 grand. Anyone had the abve list done to compare prices?

I was going to do the 15k plan but worked out that the 8p surcharge was cheaper. ie 5k @ 8p + £400, the dif between the 10k and 15k is over £50 per month so £600 per year!

I read the form, there was no mention of a stepped surcharge going higher after so many miles, was there?

Not if I can help it!

I do tend to be fairly light on the brakes - I like to look well ahead and anticipate rather than braking heavily. I have been known to travel over 100 miles along M4/M25/M11/A11 without touching the brake pedal.

I used to have to change discs once every couple of years on my old Scimitar because they rusted away.
