Yeah, according to the brochure, wiper and battery are covered, but it'll cost ya to actually replace a part. In truth, only the *check* of your old part is covered as you can see in footnote #2: "Replacement parts and labor additional."
Has anyone ever charged you just to look at your wipers or battery? Of course not! In other words, as far as wipers & batteries go - Audicare don't give you squat, yet it's still listed in the brochure as a part of "comprehensive maintenance"!!!

Not according to the brochure that Viken posted. Read the small print.

At Mercedes, the Service A/B varies by dealer from $200 to over $500, depending on geography. I am sure an Audi dealer in Burlingame, CA, would be more expensive than an Audi dealer in Birmingham, AL.

DSB is an excellent color for the S4. It will show more dirt and swirl marks than a lighter color, but it looks very classy.

So does the dealer charge more than an oil change for the scheduled "service" intervals 15k, 25k, 35k, 45k?
"" The Audi Care New Vehicle Plan covers the manufacturer-required regularly scheduled maintenance services at:
