Servicing at franchised dealer

[Migwire]

My car is due to go back to Audi Finance in April and it's on a PCP.

It's due a service and MOT just before returning. Been reading my agreement and it states I must take reasonable care of the vehicle but can't see any requirement to use a franchised dealer.

So, if I use an Audi specialist with Audi genuine parts, am I likely to be stung with handing the 4yo car back?

Nope, can be serviced anywhere so long as oem equivalent parts are used and they are vat registered

I am on a 4 year pcp and have been using an Audi specialist for all my service and mot they up date Audi uk web with service details. Service fraction of price to main dealer all Audi parts. When I last went in the dealer they said fine just keep paperwork

Also don't forget audi will price match a quote if you want to carry on using audi

Thanks.

I'm moving to a lease deal and the paperwork on that states I must use a franchised dealer.

Guess I'll obtain a price from the local specialist. Around £375 for a service + £50 MOT + £24 collection fee for a car I'm about to hand back is rather excessive I feel.

Service plans?

Had one for the first two, vehicle is being returned in March so no point for this service.

Local specialist just quoted over £120 less than Newcastle Audi.
