    Audi A4 auto servicing

    Audi Audi Advice Audi A4 Audi A4 Advice Audi A4 2010
    After a recent 45,000 km service on out 2010 2.0-litre Audi A4 at our local Audi dealership on we asked how much the next service would cost. The service advisor stated that it would depend on whether the auto required servicing or not. It would be $800 for a standard service or $1600 if the auto required servicing at the same time. Is it not fair to assume that servicing is all scheduled these days and a dealer would know if it's required or not, and given that most autos are sealed units is it something that should be carried out? Also does the price seem fair and reasonable?

    It's not part of the scheduled servicing and I would suggest the dealer is trying to sell you something extra. Auto gearboxes are generally "sealed" for life, but that doesn't mean they can't be serviced. The transmission fluid can still be drained and replaced like any auto, and depending on the type of use they get servicing can be a wise move. $800 for a major service sounds about right, $800 extra for the transmission sounds like an oil change rather than a full service. The transmission fluid alone would cost around $500. I would question the dealer on the need for the service.
