How much for 1st service?

Post by **arkenphel** » Mon Nov 23, 2015 9:44 pm

Hi everyone! I've just been quoted £475 for my RS4's 1st service (16k miles) from my local dealer, which includes microfilter changes and oil. It seems very steep. What have you guys been charged by Audi?

Got a quote from the local Independent for approx £190!
As the car is new and under warranty, decided to haggle with Audi - finally agreed for a £264 service if I provide my own oil - got 10L of Castrol 5w30 for just under £100, so managed to save over £110. Good result I suppose. Just wished Audi had matched the Independent's price

Unfortunately all the 3 local dealers are under the same umbrella group, so I'm kinda stuck as to who I can go to. There is a local monopoly where I live, and the nearest dealer outwith them is so far distance wise as to make the trip ineconomical and too much of an inconvenience.
As soon as the warranty period is over, I'm going down the indy route.

It's like them owning a whole side of a Monopoly game board. No way around it is you want an Audi FSH. At least I can use a little less lube now lol

I got a few quotes yesterday for its first service at 12k.

Ranged from £447 to £300 between three different dealers.

The tech's on the phone said they thought 5W30 however the Audi system stated 5W40, I wondered which would be used on longlife and which on normal interval as i was told my first service would be around 18k so i'm surprised to see the indicator come on anyway.

Hmmm, interesting Audi system states 5w40. I bought 5w30, 10 litres of the stuff. I'll be really pissed off if it is the wrong grade of oil.

5w30 long life is what I used and what came up on the Audi system

Had an oil change on mine a couple of weeks ago 10k quoted £405 but had free service options so kept quiet when picked the car up and charged £169 so I asked why would you charge me £405 and then find out I'm on the free service option charge totally different #Noanswer

Same, mine went in for 1st free service at 13k today, £455 quoted, pointed out it was on the service plan, then ticketed for a minor at £169. Have been assured oil changed.... I wonder why they only bill for minor when its on the service plan?

Mines going in today for its1st service, £643 incl front gearbox final drive oil change which apparently is supposed to be done at 20k

Anybody on here on a service plan? Any ideas on cost
