Exclamation 35K Mile Service at Dealership or Audi Specialist??

Wow I haven't been in here for a long time!

Anyways it's almost time for my 35K Mile Service. Audi quoted me $520 and a BMW and Audi Specialist quoted me $215 this includes: oil change, air filter,vent filter 60 point inspect and a car wash. 215.00.

He says that is the same service as Audi and they use OEM Audi parts. What you think guys?

I am under warranty too with Audi still because I have a CPO. Is it ok if I go to an Audi Specialist or do I have to go with the Audi Dealer???? HELP!

Do it yourself you lazy ***!!!! You'll learn something

Kidding but seriously, this can all be done by YOU!!!! You WILL learn allot about your car and you'll feel better about all the money you saved. If you don't have any time thAt's one thing but even at 215.00 I'd MAKE TIME!

Oh and By the way. The 60 point inspection is just fluff in my opinion.... at 35k you should not need to really do anything except some fluid changes and perhaps brake pads.. It all depends on how frequently you drive it and how hard you drive. Again, allot of fluid changes can be done by YOU!

I don't have time. LoL. I wish I did but I don't. This is why I go to dealerships. LoL.

Would that void my warranty if I don't go with an Audi dealer?

I think if you are uder the CPO they should do that for free, shouldnt they? + i would ask the dealer about it.
usually, all these service are just the check marks, they check if everything is ok.

Audi warranty covers any and all maintenance. Brakes, wipers, battery, bulbs, oil changes, etc.
Why WOULDNT you take it to the dealer? Its free.

the filters will take about 2.899(continous of course) minutes to complete.. the 35k service i believe also is a brake fluid flush and spark plug replacement.. dont have the book on me right now, so i could possible be wrong.
