Hi everyone,

Could someone please point me in the direction of a reliable place to get my A4 serviced in the NW London area and an idea of possible costs?

Thanks

i dont know anyone in london , but can tell you that ive just booked my 2.8 quattro in for next friday at main dealer and its going to cost me £325 all (incl parts, labour etc) and im getting a courtesy car for the day. and this isnt the big service either

i could of had it done monday but wouldnt of been able to have the car as they were all booked out

Are you mad Alan? £325+ for basically an oil change?

So what would you suggest as an alternative AndyMac?,

And how much do you pay for example? (I cant be bothered doing it myself)

I serviced my own a4 avant last week, it has full service history but i'm not getting stitched up by the stealers, oil change was easy cost me £25 for the oil and new filter, drained off my fuel filter.. again easy,checked gearbox oil level and greased up all the hinges which is basically what they do anyway on a service.
Only thing that needs doing is the cambelt which i will pay out to get done.

Find a VAG specialist, they use OEM parts (jurid, bosch, mann etc) but they don't pay to have the 4 rings painted onto them. Labour rates are also half what a dealer will charge. You'll actually get a better service as well as most independents actually care about the work they do unlike dealers who really aren't interested in anything out of warranty.
I paid £156 for a 10k service on my 2.8Q, and £366 for last big service but this included new rear discs & pads.

my exact same approach. i paid a local garage £250 to do the cambelt. other then that i do the maintence. recently spent £60 on a full set of fliters and fluids for the service, and vag-com'd her too.
