Listers wanted £380 first the first service which basically equated to changing the oil! A lot of dealers will price match local garages if you ask...
For people who had previously enquired etc... is it worth supplying your own oil? Do you save much that way?
I can get 10L (cheaper than 8L that’s needed) for £70 ish
I tried to do this but out of the 3 Audi specialists all them said if you supply your own oil it invalidates your warranty....
As they can not prove when/what/who it is
My dealer used to laugh at that suggestion ...For people who had previously enquired etc... is it worth supplying your own oil? Do you save much that way?

What’s the cheapest you guys are getting with Audi for your first service?
I’m an Audi specialist (ex Audi tech) if you’re near Cambridge I can do an oil and filter change/ inspection for £100.
No worries bud, always the case hahaGreat offer mate... I’m miiiiiles away so no good for me unfortunately
This is my dilemma too … FASH but you've got monkeys working on it vs no FASH but you have experts working on it!Do you think getting a specialist/independent garage to do it will effect the P/X value in a few years time? I noticed people ask for Full Audi Service History.

TX,
This, coming from a main Audi dealer, apprentices would service rs3’s not having a clue. Just another car to Audi.This is my dilemma too … FASH but you've got monkeys working on it vs no FASH but you have experts working on it!
TX,
It wouldnt effect the px value at all, it may effect a private sale (to some people). But if the cars in great condition and visibly well looked after then a full specialist history wouldn’t bother me in the slightestDo you think getting a specialist/independent garage to do it will effect the P/X value in a few years time?

Anyone can reset the service light, audi can do a printout to show the service history, or you can phone up and askAs there’s no service book to stamp as such now, how would anyone know whether it’s been done by Audi? or another garage?
Or is it only Audi that can properly reset the service light?
Great bit of advise there mate
That’s an area where concerns me too, loyalty/help from the Audi dealer if needed... you said they were going to reject it as it was 11 years and 11 months old, but the warranty is for 12 years... it stinks how they can say that... it shouldn’t matter where it’s been as long as the works been done on time and correctly, they shouldn’t be able to reject cars in that situation! But as said, it’s just how it is and they’ll find any excuse to wriggle out of warranty work!

I've also had lots of goodwill from my local Audi dealer, and they always price match both tyre and service costs with local vat registererd garages, they even gave me a free new tyre on an A6 once because it needed one on the rear, but they couldn't match the opposite rear, so replaced both and only charged price for one (also price matched to local tyre place)! The whole 'no service book' thing worries me a bit though - I think I'll buy a service book and get them to stamp it anyway - there are loads of blank audi service books on ebay, and I've not done my first service yet.
The service book idea could be a good shout there mate
Which dealer was this?Further update on this,
I’ve forwarded on all the info the dealer said was needed for a price match, that was £150
I think got a phone call saying the car is actually set for 2 yearly services so I don’t need one until next year...
That said, I would still rather that car had it’s service that the dash has indicated, and the dealer said they still can’t match the £150, but are willing to drop to their bottom line of £175... all in all I’m happy with that, so a little extra work emailing and calls etc and it’s £65 saved
