Hi,
Looking for a bit of reassurance that I'm doing the right thing here...
Car in question is 2006 A4 B7 Avant 2.0tdi (brd 170) 90k on clock, two previous owners, all servicing and repairs religiously completed at the same audi main dealer.
I was going to alternate my servicing between main dealer and independent vag specialist every 6k miles but only have book stamped by the dealer. My thought was to keep main dealer servicing at every 12k to keep the dealer service history in tact. I was originally thinking this may appeal to buyers when selling in a few years and may help with the small possibility of getting some good will payments from dealer should the excrement hit the fan in some way.
Repairs that I've had done have been and will continue to be done at Indy.
It's due the dealer service now but I'm not sure I want to pay the extra £60 as the likelihood of me getting anything out of audi in the event of a disaster is slim to none for a car my age even with full history. As for selling, It won't add value will it? Maybe it'll make it more attractive to buy Im not sure?
So I guess to save £60 (£110 on major service) every 12k should I just forget dealer service?
I must admit I did look for full dealer service history when buying this but what's your opinions please?
Regards
Steve
