Anyone with a lease through Belfast Audi (VWFS I think) had there car serviced elsewhere?
I must double check the paperwork to see if that is even an option or if it must be done by Audi themselves.
Car is 18 months old with approx 10k miles on it and the quote I have for oil change and inspection is eye watering....
It's a 1.4 A4 not a V10 R8....
@Coog You had one a while back didn't you?
Threw it into Agnews. Can't remember the price but certainly nothing remarkable given the price of modern oils. £170 rings a bell. VWFS did ask about the service record but can't remember if they asked about it being carried out at the dealer or not. Might have been just a question about whether the service light was on.
I don't sweat the small stuff when it comes to things like this. Firstly because I don't want to have an argument about any warranty work (regardless of the rules and regs), and secondly I couldn't be bothered with an argument at handback either. All for the sake of what - £50/60? I lease for convenience mostly and the service was literally the only cost over and above fuel (and one tyre) over the entire lease of the car so I didn't really think much about it at all. I guess it all depends on how much they've quoted and how much you value your time. Running round getting written quotes for oil services just seems like ball ache to me.
