35k $875
45k $130


Then maybe I missed the boat. Is the service honored at any dealership? Is it transferrable if the car is sold? Does the S5 really have 10L of oil?

Thanks.

Audi care stays with the car when you sell it - it increases the value of your car. At least that's how it is here in Canada. Hence, it's probably honored at any dealership.

Audi dropped the free Audi Care with 2007 model years, I believe. That's also applicable to Canada, so not so sure about AofA

Yeah, I got them to throw in Audicare for 680.

Invoice Price is 680 so i'd say its a good deal.

I never took any my leased hondas / acuras because they basically didnt do anything and charge an absolute arm and a leg. Why do they charge 80 bucks an hour for someone to inspect my belts? Since I bought the A-5 (that im still awaiting delivery on) I decided that buying Audicare was the best way to force me to get the scheduled maintenance done.

I can't recall the source but I recall reading that dealer cost for Audi Care was around 60% or about $400 if it's priced at $740.

Also, is the bulk of the service just an oil change and perhaps tire rotation? I do all my oil changes and I am not seeing how this is a great deal unless you can get it for around $400. 10L oil is at most $50 + filter etc $30 = $80 and your time.

Ah thanks, didn't know that. I got it when I purchased mine so I'm good.

It covers all scheduled maintenance until 80,000 kms, so I think it's a good deal.

Did they drop the price on the CPO Audi Care? I'm kinda mad they didn't offer it to me when I got my car couple years back but it would only be a good deal if it included the 75k since that's a major. In either case I I paid $270 for 55k, $1079 for my 65k (I bottomed out and cracked my oil pan), and $390 for the 75k.

Keep in mind service prices are not set in stone, I've never paid full price for a service. The 55k was supposed to be like $350 and the 75k around $600.
