Hmmm does the 2006 free plan have tire rotation for 15k, 25k, and so on, because my paid 2007 plan doesn't offer that? Local Audi service rep will do that for no charge if I remind him. It is weird it is not part of paid Audi service.

No, only the rotation at 5000 mi. is free, my dealer charged for the 15000 mi. rotation. I don't remember how much, but I usually do it myself.

 

Wow. They rotate them for me? Maybe it's the S3 badges??? LOL

Actually, I was just in the dealership for service, then came back because they forgot to put one lug nut cap back on. While waiting for the service guys, I was cornered by all of the sales force and they wanted to know all about my car. "Hey, is that thing chipped?" "Wow, that sounds really good, what have you done to the car?" And many more questions like that. I asked them if they were service scouts trying to find out all of my mods and deny all of my warranty coverage. LOL They said that they didn't care about service and just wanted to know about the car. It seems that all of the sales forces Audis are well to very well modified themselves. I bet they don't have any warranty issues.

Cheers!

 

It seems to be a basic procedure for all cars. Is there a cut off date as in "car manufactered after [insert date]" will not have the reflash? I am guessing it makes no sense to flash my car before service, no?

You crack me up Chef.

 

Yeah, I would wait for the I3 reflash before I chipped my car at this point. No need to rock the boat. I like to maintain my warranty as long as I can keep the mod bug at bay. I did really good this time.

Cheers!

 

I called another Audi dealer closer to me, since I moved to schedule my 15,000mile oil change. And mind you, I specifically said OIL CHANGE to them. Which costs me $105.

I bring my A3 for an oil change every 5,000 miles. So, I do not go by the every 10 or 15,000 miles. I bring it in earlier at 5,000 miles. My first service was at 5, my second was at 10, and now my third is at 15.

Now, the entire time I am setting up the appointment they are putting me down for the 15K maintenance service, which includes things like checking tire pressue, exhaust, and topping fluids. Which I do not want and costs $230. And I did not buy the maintanance packages when I purchased my A3.

So basically I told them no thanks, just do a regular oil change and charge me the oil change fee, which is $105.

So, get this, I ALWAYS get a loaner for a standard oil change at my original Audi dealer, but this one said NO, they do not give loaners for oil changes, basically only if I was getting the complete 15K maintenance service, which I think is bull and I do not want!

I am waiting for the 35K to do the maintenance service.

I told them I need to get to work and will definetly need a loaner, they still wouldnt budge.

I cancelled the request for the oil change and hung up on them. I called my original Audi dealer and scheduled with them instead, since they give me a loaner every time I drop off my A3 for an oil change.

Oh, and the dealer who doesnt give loaners for oil changes is Paul Miller Audi in Parsippany, NJ.
