Just got quoted $200.00 for a tranny oil change from dealer, using my Motul 300, a bit much?

Default Always go to an independent shop if you're out of warranty.
But make sure that it's a shop you trust and that is deals with Audis on a regular basis.

Default 2nd, labor is much much cheaper and if you build a good relationship
with the mechanics, most of the time they wont bull**** you and they will take care of your car properly.

Default That goes without saying. I can't imagine having an Audi and not having a reputable shop around.
Ask around on your local forum for shop suggestions.

that's not bad, average at dealers. Not sure how much an indy would charge though.

Default 3rd.... I will be going on the Audiworld Florida Forum's suggestions for an indie shop ...
as soon as an issue comes up. No way in hell I'm getting ripped off by the dealer ever again.
