Just had to bring in the 97 A4 for the 60k service... $600+ later, I'll have new spark plugs and fluids.[&:]

Frick. Is this normal, or am I getting completely fucked? For any Portland folks, it's at Sunset Audi in Beaver-tron. Any other places around town I should look next time???

What else did they do? Lapdance?

 

just plugs and fluids? next time go to and independent shop. or try doing it yourself. you can save alot of money that way!

Yea, I have no garage, and seriously no time to do the work myself... I'm in the middle of a big project at work, so that means I CAN afford to do this... But HOLY ****, 60k service was only like $250 on my Honda... <----

I forgot, they are also putting in new rotors/pads/brake fluid as well... Maybe they are changing the tranny fluid?[&:]

 

There is no reason to go to the Audi Stealership for an out of warranty car. That was WAY WAY too much! Go find a good Euro mechanic,

 

It takes half an hour to change your plugs.

rotors and pads will make price jump considerably, so you aren't getting as screwed as initially thought. Still - do like Jest says - stay away from the dealership on an out-of-warranty car, unless it is something audi specific like tiptronic probs, multilink susp, etc. The price will be much cheaper

 

The reason I decided to take it in to the dealer was because I was under the impression that the warranty they sold me with the car would cover this service. Clearly, they mislead me. ******* jerks...[&:]

 

Well now that I see you got pads and rotors yeah it's not tooooo bad of a price. Your warranty only covers non wear and tear items?

 

It may... I don't have the papers with me, so we'll find out when I pick the car up...

Ironic though, I could have almost bought my springs/shocks for that price...[&:]
