My 2012 S5 has full Audi service history, it's due another service shortly and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth sticking with Audi or just going to my mate who's a local mechanic. He thinks I'm nuts for keep going to dealerships but I've got one eye on the fact that I'll be selling it in the next 12-18 months (max).
I've just had my 320 BMW serviced for its first time at my local BMW dealership. It cost me £520, they damaged one of my alloys (which they have in fairness fixed, but it's not the point they should have replaced the alloy completely, the car was immaculate when it went in) and they didn't even turn off dashboard the service light. Two weeks later my brakes are squeaking too.
All in all this is making me question if it's worth it. Does buying a second hand car that has full dealership SH make any difference to you when you're looking to buy? Can the cost vs that of a local mechanic be reflected in the selling-on price or do people generally not give a ****? Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance.
