R8 Servicing Costs Vary?

Post by Iain » Tue Dec 03, 2013 9:59 am

Guys

Morning All - quiet on here.

Quick question - do servicing costs vary dealer to dealer or are they fixed?

Car booked in for oil and filter change into Cardiff Audi Thursday £491!!! and they want it for 2 days.

WTF do they do over a 48hr period?

Nice thing is LOL they will send me a video of any issues they find on the car? :bash:

TIA

It takes a couple of days to get everyone in the dealer a good chance to rant your car :)

Audi always quote Fixed Price servicing…but they will always negotiate on the price. Call up a couple of other Audi garages and you can be sure there will be a range of prices. Then play one off against the other.

They quote fixed price servicing based on their labour rate!

Have you looked around for an Audi specialist to service it or is it in warranty still?

They take nearly 9 litres of oil so that is a chunk of the cost....

Let me know if you need advice, know these cars pretty well! ;-)
