My Audi Care Primer and Analysis
#41
I am looking at leasing a 2016 A3 (3 years, 30k) and have the option of getting Audi Care for 17$ extra per month. Do you think its a good idea to opt for it at total cost of around $595?
How much costs can I expect at the 15k and 25k miles service at Audi dealership? Thanks!

My original AC is up and I was speaking with the budget office yesterday. Audi now offers AC Plus in 2 service increments.
$819 - 55K and 65K Service
$819 (of course this could change at any time) - 75K and 85K Service
I've been told by my service guys that the 55K Service is the most expensive. My shop doesn't have prices listed so I can't verify. Has anybody got an idea on what the 55K/65K services costs for comparison??
I do like that my dealership also provides me a loaner anytime I bring the car in. I was lucky to be able to take home an A8 yesterday (prefer my A6), and the shop also does a General inspection (general lube, inspection of all things under the car blah blah blah). This (as they explained to me) is part of the AC package. They do more work then just what's required because of the AC.
Has anybody had any thing different from their shops like no AC just doing what is required and nothing else. If they do more, they charge you??

I asked this question for a co-worker with a Q5. The simple answer was that if you have a 2.0l then pay as you go, if it is a 3.0l then pay for the 2 services as part of Audi Care Select.

This is an oldie but goodie. I have the 55K coming up before too long on my S6, and it sounds like I should buy the 55/65. I know there isn't much margin on these, but I wondered if anyone knows of a good source for buying this service plan or what it should cost. I know with the Audi extended warranty that you can buy it from anywhere. Thanks!
Edit: No spark plugs on the 55K for the S6, so I'm thinking that the service shouldn't be all that expensive, but I'm curious none-the-less. Hopefully Audi Care Plus for the S6 will take into account spark plugs were done at 35K and don't go again until 75K for the 55/65 service package.

Wish they would make it a little easier to figure what is needed, and covered under AC for each specific model and engine type. I'm wondering what is going to be done to my 16' 3.0T at 35k and 45k under AC (besides oil changes of course)?

It's easy. In your Warranty/Maintenance booklet check the maintenance schedule for your specific model/engine. Listed will be exactly what AC will cover - nothing more, nothing less.
