Default Audi Care or Audi Care Plus

Hello All,

I already have a Audi Care plan on my 2012 Audi Q5, 17000 miles currently ( bought this at 15800 recently). Just realized there is an Audi Care Plus plan also. My question, is whether to upgrade to Audi Care Plus or just stick to Audi Care.

Thank you for viewing!

Audi Care plus isn't an upgrade to Audi Care. Audi Care Plus is extending routine maintenance coverage after 45,000 miles.

Audi Care - routine maintenance at 15k, 25k, 35k, 45k miles then it is done

Audi Care Plus extends this to 55k, 65k, 75k miles. You do not need to make a decision until you show up for your 55k service, so no real benefit buying early.

Thank you Weth for your reply. So, currently i am paying $840.00 to Audi care which holds good only till 45K, lets say if at 45K i realized that i want prepaid scheduled maintenance for 55k, 65k, 75k miles , will i be paying the difference in Audi Care Plus ($1130.00) and Audi Care ($820.00) i.e $310.00 or there will be some extra amount than the difference $310.00. If it is the difference i can make a decision at 45K as well, if not and it is more than the difference i guess, it is better to take now, right.

You'll be paying the whole amount for audi care plus ($1000+).

Please note that, as I found out while shopping for Audi Care Plus, only get it if you know you will hit the mileage markers before seven years. In the fine print of the brochures, it says that all services must be performed within seven years. So, if you average less than 10k miles a year, it's not worth it for you. I would have had to stretch my driving habits to even get to 65k within the seven years.
