Bought a second hand 2000 A6 1.9 TDi 6 months ago. It's last service was 65k and the service indicator has just come on at 87k (variable servicing). Anyway, got a few quotes as follows (all in uk pounds).

Audi dealership 330 Audi dealership 430 Independent Audi specialist 300 Local garage 160

So my question. Is it worth paying the extra to go to the Audi dealerships or specialists? Its the usual fuel, oil, pollen filters etc. that need doing, cambelt was done at 65k. I plan to keep it for a good few years so a FASH won't do much to the resale value.

The local garage is a reputable one and they said they've done servicing on Audi's before.

Thoughts?

The Audi Specialist gets my vote over a local garage.

Take it to the local garage, I've a 1996 A4, serviced it at dealership for the first time for about £300, never again. Had it for 5 years and (apart from the hopeless suspension)the engine has never put a foot wrong and that's with 4 "local garage" services.
