2003 85k Service in North East

Post by **audi_driver79** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 1:56 am

Hi,

Happy times! Yes its due a service so just wanted to know any ideas of prices and what should be included. According to the receipts and documents I got with it 2 years ago the spark plugs etc were done at 69k February 2009 so not up to the 20k interval yet as I am only doing 5k roughly per annum. My local stealership has quoted £600+ for what I think is pollen filter, oil change etc and spark plugs but not much else. What should it include, perhaps brake fluid as well?

Just wondered if any other owners in the area have had good service elsewhere or had a wildly different price for this service at their age of ownership?

Anything would be a help, I kind of want to keep the FASH but then again I know independent guys I can also trust....

Thanks in advance,

Mark aka audi_driver79

Amanda,

Just outside delightful Whitby! I'm sure you've been there before..

If the last time it was serviced was 2 years ago then your service history is already shot. Take it to a reputable indy.

Sorry Shoppinit, I did have its oil changed last year at that same stealership but they didn't do much else so the service book isstamped every 12 months.

I know it's a slight trip from Whitby but I've just had a full service (60k)+ plugs for £330 at CSAutos in Hucknall just outside Nottingham.(Plus you get your book stamped).
Chris is an Audi specialist
I'd see if there was a reputable indi near you or travel a bit father afield rather than use a stealer.

Yeah I just got a quote likewise from a couple of local Audi specialists, the stealers where twice the price ansd then some! As I intend to keep the car long term maybe I should give up paying the exhorbitant prices....

Audi dealers are as cheap as or not far off independents if you haggle/supply your own oil.

Plus they give good discounts on cars over three years old?

You tried Teeside Audi? They've always looked after me?

As said supply your own oil most of the cost is oil!!!

That's ok as long as the dealer is good. Sadly the two close to me aren't.
