The Audi Service Explained
When you have a high-performance car, such as an Audi, it should be of primary concern to ensure that it is maintained. The best way to maintain performance is to have a regular Audi service. A stamped Audi service book will help to protect the value of your car.
Audi garages and independent specialist garages provide a high standard of servicing. To ensure the best service, it is paramount to choose a reputable garage that uses genuine OE (Original Equipment) parts. This also guarantees that any warranty is protected. To have Audi specialist technicians is also important. They will have had a significant amount of training and will possess the technical knowledge and expertise to work on your car. Not only that, specialist Audi technicians will also be able to forecast any possible problems with your car because of the experience and knowledge they have. They will also be able to let you know when you are likely to need a new cam belt, or new tyres based upon your mileage and car usage. This can help you plan your Audi service and maintenance costs in advance.
There is a range of Audi services available. You can choose to have an interim service or a full service if you drive many miles and drive frequently. You could also have a time and distance service, or a variable service. A time and distance service is a fixed interval service, so for instance, at every 10,000 miles or at 18 months, whatever comes first, you will need your car serviced. A variable Audi service is when the sensors on the Audi engine and components will let you know that a service is necessary. This will appear as a warning light on the driver's information panel in the car. Check your Audi handbook for more details of what these lights mean.
Some garages can book as service as you wait, whilst with others you would need to book your car in advance. Make sure that they only use genuine Audi parts, as these will also be guaranteed, some for up to two years. Some garages also offer value-added services such as collection and delivery of your vehicle, full guarantee of workmanship, a free valet, free MOT or a courtesy car while your car is being serviced. It pays to shop around and find the best deals to service your Audi.
When it comes to paying for your Audi's service, this can be quite a concern if it is more than you are prepared for. However, some garages will offer a service payment plan, allowing you to pay fix monthly amounts, based on the amount of services you would like to include. This helps with budgeting for your Audi service costs and helps to spread the cost of servicing your car.
