Anyone used a decent independent in or around Nottingham? I’m at 40k miles and need spark plugs, final drive oil (x2??) and an oil change. Main dealer is asking for just under £1100 - is that reasonable? Thanks.

I had plugs / oil change and air and pollen filter swap out that cost me £700+ last year at Notts Audi. I supplied my own oil and air filter to reduce the costs.

Front Final drive oil etc would be £350ish. £1100 is probably not far off to be honest. Supply your own engine oil and it will reduce the costs by approx £80.

Thanks. Have always supplied my own oil in the past but they’ve changed their policy now and won’t do it... the oil change alone is £377 and £160 of that is oil! Ouch... I guess they have to make their margin somewhere though.
