When you have a high-value and high-performance car, like an Audi, it's important to ensure that it's maintained to its optimum performance level. Having a regular Audi service is the best way to maintain your car's performance and smooth, trouble-free motoring. By having a fully stamped and recorded Audi service book and history, this will also help and protect the resale value of your car, as a service history book is becoming a prerequisite when it comes to selling any vehicle.

Audi garages and independent specialist garages provide a high standard of servicing. To guarantee the best service, it is important to go to a reputable garage that uses genuine OE (Original Equipment) car parts. This also guarantees that any warranty is protected. To have Audi specialist technicians is also important. They will have had comprehensive training and will have the technical knowledge and expertise to work on your car. Not only that, Audi specialist technicians will also be able to predict and forecast any potential problems with your car because they have in-depth knowledge and experience. They will also be able to let you know when you are likely to need a new cam belt, or new tyres based upon your mileage and car usage. This can help you plan your Audi service and maintenance costs in advance.

There is a range of Audi services available. You can choose to have a full service or an interim service if you use your car frequently and drive a high amount of mileage. You could also have a time and distance service, or a variable service. A time and distance service is a fixed interval service, so for instance, at every 10,000 miles or at 18 months, whatever comes first, you will need your car serviced. A variable Audi service is when the car sensors that are located in the Audi engine and on certain car components will alert you to when servicing is needed. This will appear as a warning light on the driver's information panel in the car. Check your Audi handbook for more details of what these lights mean.

Some garages can book a service while you wait and with others you need to book in your car in advance. Make sure that they only use genuine Audi parts, as these will also be guaranteed, some for up to two years. Some garages also offer value-added services such as collection and delivery of your vehicle, full guarantee of workmanship, a free valet, free MOT or a courtesy car while your car is being serviced. It pays to shop around and find the best deals to service your Audi.

When it comes to paying for your Audi's service, this can be quite a concern if it is more than you are prepared for. However, some garages offer a service payment plan, which allows you to pay a fixed monthly amount based upon the number of services that you want to include. This helps with budgeting for your Audi service costs and helps to spread the cost of servicing your car.
