I have a B8 RS4 MY2014 with its second service due at 35,000 miles. I am outside the warranty and there are two Audi dealers in South Wales at Cardiff and Bridgend with a reputable indy being Euro-Performance in between. Is the dealer stamp worth the additional expense over the Indy, does it support the residuals and how is it perceived on resale? I plan on keeping the RS for at least 2 more years.
My last car was a 911 and after 10 years of ownership never went anywhere near Porsche apart from parts desk. I had outstanding service from a Porsche indy in Cardiff - Chris Denning Sports Cars and due to the length of time I had the car found it made little difference.
Any thoughts?

Different strokes for different folks. I personally would favour specialist stamps over Audi because most are useless but non enthusiasts will prefer dealer stamps. The 38k one is a biggy so potentially a good saving for you avoid the stealers

Re: RS4 B8 Dealer Stamp
I had a call from Audi this afternoon offering to service my 2006 RS4.
I respectfully declined however they then instantly offered to price match local specialists providing they use genuine VAG components.
Might be worth knowing and testing with your local stealers.

Re: RS4 B8 Dealer Stamp
Exactly what Sam said, however I’d buy a car with mrc or unit 20 service history too. Trust them more than the apprentice spanner monkeys at stealers.Surrey Sam wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:18 pmDealer for servicing and stamp, specialists for any additional work.
