Just checked the logbook. 3 years old on the 5th of May. Needless to say if they tried to charge me £225...I would've been straight out the door
First service, oil change and check £164 done at 12000 miles, phoned about my inspection service (rape charge) 3000 miles later to be told £219 without the oil change, asked what would be done and was told that there would be nothing changed inspection only. Now I know it's a premium brand but really £219 for an inspection wtf. Anyway I noticed that the service had been changed from flex to fixed without my consent, phone call to Audi UK basically to say why was I not offered the inspection and oil change at the same time, and why my service plan was changed without consent, I wasn't happy also mentioned that changing my plan without my consent was fraud. I received a call back saying that the inspection would be reduced to £119 said I wasn't happy and wanted to take this further then received a call later to say inspection would be free with a pollen filter change as well. It pays to complain people

My car is due it's first service and inspection at 18000 miles. Just to get an idea of quotes I my local dealer to get a price and they came back at £402. Said to them not chance and they came back at £362. Needless to say I declined.
I then rang the dealer who I go to for my warranty work and they came back with £352 but without me asking said they could do it at £300. I then asked if they could do any better and I was told they could do it for £250 by giving me the parts at cost. I've decided to book it in as £250 doesn't seem a too bad price considering what some people have been quoted.

Fairly expensive still I'm afraid. But not terrible.
I was quoted £255 with parts or £110 without parts. And the parts for an oil service don't cost £145

Oh I know it's expensive considering what's involved mate
I carried out an oil change at 9000 miles myself and that cost me £40 for oil, filter, and new sump plug/washer. Pollen filter will be £15 max. So there charging me £195 for labour.

It's the so called inspection that gets us. Nothing but the free health check with a few extra checks.

Lol
Check out local specialists if you want. That's what I'm doing. Got confirmation from Audi UK that it wouldn't be a problem on the PCP. And it is working out at £115 all in (with me supplying the parts in that cost)
And they are able to update the online service history somehow

Dude, I almost had you!
When I bought my 8V I took out a service plan for £20 a month. So my first service was £240, but then so was my second and all subsequent services and - if I had kept it long enough - the cost of each MOT would also have been covered. Needless to say, when I bought my A4 I opted for the service plan once again. However, this time I pay £12 a month provided I don't exceed 10,000 miles a year. I can only conclude that the A4 is easy to maintain.
