Audi 'inspection' service
Discussion
Is it just me or is this a load of complete b
ks?
For my £145 (on a Q7) all I get is the invoice with a few notes on it (stating tyre tread depths and front brake pad % worn), that's it.
BMW do something similar and my 335i was about £50 which seemed entirely reasonable as they surely can't be checking much more than in an MOT?!
I guess I would've expected to see some sort of check sheet, with everything they'd looked at.

What exactly did you ask them to do?
An "inspection service" is normally a major service that's required every 2 years and includes oil, filters, and possibly more. £375 if your car is over 3 years old.
If you've just asked them to "check it over" then they've probably just done the usual checks that the do as part of the service, and charged you an hours labour for the privilege. Brakes, tyres, fluids and hopefully suspension components.
I didn't ask them to do anything, it's an item that's part of the service schedule! ( https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/servicing-maint... ) When the oil service was done it was only sitting at about 15k so left the inspection until 19k.An "inspection service" is normally a major service that's required every 2 years and includes oil, filters, and possibly more. £375 if your car is over 3 years old.

The car does cover a lot of miles (now on 21k) but is only a year old. From googling it appears I'm not the only person thinking it' a rip off.

The Audi rape continues, a year on now the 40k mile 'inspection' service costs £225, again with no parts provided or other work done. If it happened to lie on the same date an oil service was needed there'd be no change out of £500, blimey. ks?For my £145 (on a Q7) all I get is the invoice with a few notes on it (stating tyre tread depths and front brake pad % worn), that's it.
