Yes it is if you plan to get it serviced at an Audi dealer and do say over 10,000 miles a year. Given Audi's fixed priced servicing is £159 for the Interim and £309 for the major it could cost you £627 for two interims and one major over 3 years. Note I use the word 'could' as I only use the fixed price servicing as a guideline - it should be no more than this. In reality a major service on our S3 is going to cost £243. The last interim was only marginally cheaper. When we started looking at the S3 there was a service pack for it but, Audi stopped offering it a few months before we actually got round to buying ours otherwise I would have added it with no hesitation.
This PLAN is no longer available - was advised by my dealer last week - checked out with Audi customer services and they came back to me and confirmed that it's no longer available to purchase
It's still on the website, although it does state "offer can be withdrawn at anytime" !

To confirm what Andy203 said above - it's no longer available to purchase, despite them still advertising it on the website.
Tried to buy this earlier this week, computer said no.

When I ordered my car in January this was still an option at £399 which I thought was a bit expensive . I decided against it for cost reasons as expect to do about 5000 miles P.A and it was 18 months on my A1 before it needed a service.
However had a bit of a re-think as looks now like my S3 may do slightly more miles P.A (6000) and more short journeys. Worried about a big first bill so thinking the £20 a month service plan might be a good option as it's my only one now the £399 pack has gone.
But thinking about it even more - that means £720 over 3 years. Surely in 20,000 miles of expected ownership I wouldn't pay that much in serving costs on an S3? Maybe if I was doing say 10,000 miles P.A - in my circumstances just no idea what's best.

Not sure what you mean about 20,000 miles as three years equals three services thus divide £720 by 3.
No not that straight forward. Initial interim service £159 and then maybe one major at £309. Add in another interim and total costs are £627 so £100 odd cheaper than £20 a month option over three years. I'd be happy to pay the £20 a month on this scenario as like the fact I can spread the cost.
BUT with my current experience in my A1 I have only had 1 interim service in 2 years 3 months doing the same sort of miles and journeys. I don't know if the S3 would do the same - I'm guessing it won't so just pondering all the options.
^ Those prices appear to be for cars aged 3+ years.
On a S3 - the Oil Service is in the region of £200 and the Inspection Service will be in the region of £300
(see previous threads for actual prices/quotes obtained)
