    Audi Care select worth it?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am thinking about getting Audi care select after my 45k service to extend for 55k & 65k service. It cost $1099 is it worth it for 2 more services ? would it be cheaper a la' carte ? Has anybody purchased this and can this be bought discounted ?

    Take a look at the maintanence guide and see what the 55k and 65k services consist of. If it is just an oil change and filter(s) change then I would say it is not worth the cost. However, if there is major service then it may be worth it. @ approx $110/hr shop rate, it doesnt take long to eat through the $1099.

    I seem to remember it was around $1100 a couple years ago, but I think they may have repackaged the offerings since then.

    The 55k is a major service for C7s with spark plug replacements, brake fluid flush, major checks, etc. Here's a link to click on your model year and see everything involved:

    Is most likely worth it and I'm sure there's a bit of wiggle room off MSRP.

    Not the charge for the package, but the individual services. I'm leaning towards getting the package, but can't decide if it makes more sense financially to get the 55/65 or the 65/75.

    Pay for the 55k yourself. Get the 65+75...that's where the big discount kicks in.

    I think I remember the 55K service on a 2012 S4 was in the 800-850 range, and 550 at our local shop, which is where we had it done.

    Kelly Clark on Bell and 41st Street. I've taken my off-warranty cars there for years.
    They've never upsold anything.
    I tried to find the exact price we paid, but my son must have put it on his card and I can't find it now.
