How much did you pay?

On our 1.4 SE the first variable service was conducted at around 20,000 miles and 2 years old. Cost £250 at Millhouse Audi in Bath. Reasonably pleased with the service from them - very pleased with new shape A3 2.0 litre FSI Sport with leather interior courtesy car!
Also, they conducted warrenty claims efficiently, but this week we tried Swindon Audi (just off J16 of the M4) for the first time on a warrenty claim repair and they were excellent. Loan car was an A2 1.6 FSI Colour Storm with 5,000 miles on clock. (We like the extra 'go' in the 1.6 FSI engine, compared to our petrol 1.4!).
Overall, I think the price at Bath Audi looks good compared to what some of you have paid, so am happy.
But, will try Swindon Audi for the next service, as they appear a little more switched on than Bath, and the car came back immaculately clean both inside and out - better than I have ever achieved (and I'll spend half a day cleaning it!)

Further to my post above I had my car serviced yesterday.

- How much you paid for your first service (please state GBP or Euros + country)?

Sorry to make some of you weep - £206.69 so LESS than the quote!

- Does that cost include anything other than the first service? Handbrake adjustment on my request FOC

- Which model of A2 you have? 1.4TDi 75 23,500 miles covered - still showing 2,000 before service due, but I am doing some long journeys soon so had it done early.

- Were you happy with the service/treatment received? - Very happy 10/10. My first call was to ask the price - no one there as it was late in the day, Tracy rang me back just after 9am the next morning with a price of £207-07. I knew this price was very good so didn't even bother calling other dealerships. Asked for an A3 for the day - booked me in on a day when it would be available (see later!). Said car would be ready for about 4pm. Chris from service rang me at just after 3pm to say it would be nearer 5pm before it was finished. Call at 4.45pm from Chris to say car was ready. Collected car, bill was £206.69 so less than quote (no silly charges for screen wash etc either). No problems found with car (so no phone calls about low brake pads, or dodgy tyres, leaking shocks etc) and handbrake adjusted as requested. Saw the car in the car park and it looked like it did when I bought it! Full valet inside and out including dressed tyres. Also received a Bradford Audi insulated travel mug!

- Where you had the service? (optional) - Bradford Audi, Kings Road, Bradford

- Anything else that is relevant - such as vehicle mileage at time of service... see above

I mentioned I requested an A3. When I turned up I was informed the A3s were both out due to delays in sorting out other customers cars. I was a bit miffed, but I was given a TT (225bhp) for the day and an assurance that if I ever wanted to test drive the A3 just to give them a call and they will sort it out. The TT was very quick, but the radio was rubbish - Audi Chorus with Bose sepakers, but only two of them!! I was also surprised at the engine noise when on the motorway - in 6th the car was doing over 3,000 revs at 80mph. Averaged 33 mpg over the 110 miles I did.

So if you want to save some money get yourself to Bradford Audi and spend the day cruising round the Yorkshire Dales.

So thanks to Chris, Amanda and Glen the technician for providing an excellent service all round.
 
Just had a call from Audi customer services asking what I thought about the service I received at Bradford, needless to say I gave them 10/10!
 
Just taken mine to Guildford Audi for first service. Tdi Sport '52 reg at 22k. Was Quoted £290 for service and £88.10 for brake fluid change, total of £378.10. When I picked it up came to £353.36 total.

Only booked it in middle of last week and got a courtesy car no problem, it was dirty inside and out but didn't really bother me.

All round very efficient service, in and out no fluffing around, which I really hate - I know we all love being made to feel "special" but I hate being patronised!

Took it in at 10am and was called at 3.45pm to say it was ready. Well done Guildford!!

Just taken mine to Alexander Audi in Huddersfield for its first AVS at 31,075 miles, quoted circa £255 and cost £265 but that included a new front number plate, old one was delaminating due to over exuberant power washing. Also there was a Castrol pack in the car with a litre of oil, gloves and wipes to refill the boot pack, saves a trip to Halfords. Had a 97 mile old A3 2.0 TDI for the day, nice power, but thought the interior was poor... I still prefer the A2.

Mines in for its first service + MOT in a few weeks. I was quoted 'it will not be more than £340 for the service, and £35 for the MOT, however usually it is less' - which basically means its going to cost me £375. On first hearing that I thought 'ouch!', however £375 for three years is pretty damn good.

Good Point, however my car technically had a free-ish service at 12 months (cant say anymore than that)!!

This is basically the FIRST SERVICE from my pocket point of view (should have said that)

If you are supposed to service at 24 months how come the variable service indicator allows you to go for 36 months? When I bought my car I was told by the dealer it had 3yr service gaps in normal driving. At year 3 service cost approx £250 (+ free MOT) from memory - and get this they tested the brake fluid and it was still okay! I'll let you know how much the next one is in 2 years time.
