Had my Audi dealership ring me as my car had pinged up on thier sytem that it's due for an MOT

I asked how much they charge and he told me £55, i told him i was getting it done for £38 elsewhere, which was true.

He immediately offered it to me for £35.

So it's booked in smile

They'll make the difference up by charging you £95 for a wiper blade ;-)

Nice work!
I did the same sort of thing recently when purchasing another years worth of warranty. They offered me a year for £299, told them i can get it for £220 and they agreed on price. Happy days!

If it's Audi serviced then you can get it for free:

Or over paid by £35, depending.

Last time I went to Audi I forgot my MOT voucher and they did it for free anyway. I actually quite like my Audi dealer, they have been good so far...
