Audi A3 - First Service Cost

[georgefreeman918]

I currently lease a very un-pistonheads car as the daily commuter - a 1.0 TFSI Audi A3 (2017).

Its just ticked over 18,000 miles so I contacted Audi (its leased so needs Audi approved servicing) to get a cost and was shocked when quoted £330 (VAT inclusive)

I have queried this and asked for a breakdown of the costs, and was able to reduce this to £279.

What are people paying for first services?

Also, Kiwk Fit are able to complete the same service using genuine parts for £170 which keeps the manufacturers warranty. Anybody had any experience with going down this route?

Thanks in advance.

200 quid should easily do an oil and inspection service on that; use an independent specialist rather than Kwik Fit.

I'm in the same predicament - My Audi A6 (on lease) has reached 19k and needs a service. My local Audi dealers are quoting me £445-530 for an Oil and Inspection service which seems very excessive!

May I ask who your lease is with? I'm with Audi Finance and there is a mention in the T&Cs that the car needs to be serviced by one of their garages.

My Audi is on pcp not lease and I pay £250 a year for a service plan so would expect it to be a little more without that.

If it's a lease/hire and the contract requires franchise servicing then there's not a lot you can do.

Someone posted a few months they'd got Audi to price match Halfords.

Yep that might've been me, Jardine Audi agreed to price match Halfords last year on my 2015 TT.

It's not consistent though as M25 Audi wouldn't do the price match
