Advice on 15k miles service
Hi:
I have a black 2010 s-line q5 and going be ready for 15k miles service. So far, i am very very happy with my 1 first Audi and it has been problem free so far. I am just wondering what are people paying for their 15k service? It seems, dealers in CT and NY are charging around $250-$350+Tax...it is kinda alot for me for just oil change, new oil filter and air filter....I think i should have gotten the AUDI care, but too late now.
Should i just go to my local mechanic for it? again, i really think for normal oil change....paying $300+is really really steep. Thanks in advance for your advices or opinions.

as long as your car has less than 15k miles, you can still get audicare.
here in Cali, it's also around $300. total rip off. i'll probably end up getting audicare.

The way I look at it, if you have a mechanic you trust and won't screw up the simple task of oil changes and filter replacements, then go that route. If not, Audicare is the cheapest way to go and you have a little more peace of mind that it is (probably!) being done correctly.
I've had too many negative experiences with places like Jiffy Lube and local mechanics that I just go the AudiCare route. But if you have a good mechanic that you trust, you can save a lot of cash.

have to look up the 'service schedule' we received when considering the AudiCare (which we do have on our Q5) if there is more...
