Audi Service Explained, What Does an Audi Service Involve?

Types of Audi Services

There are generally two main types of services for petrol and diesel Audis, and specific plans for electric (e-tron) models.

1. Oil Service

This is the most basic service, often referred to by drivers as an interim service, and you should think of it as a regular health check for your engine, which typically includes:

Oil and Filter Change

The old engine oil is drained and replaced with fresh, high-quality oil, and a new oil filter is fitted, which is key for keeping your engine healthy.

Here, fresh oil helps to prolong the life of your engine, improve fuel economy, and maintain peak performance and efficiency.

Vehicle Health Check

A Audi qualified technician will give your car a good look over, which includes checking key areas of your car like your brakes and tyres to make sure they are still in good shape, checking for signs of wear.

Service Light Reset

The service interval display on your dashboard will be reset to get rid of the reminder popping up.

The Flexible (or 'LongLife') Service Schedule

This is a smarter schedule for high-mileage drivers who spend most of their time on A-roads and motorways.

Here, the car will use sensors to monitor your driving style and the condition of the oil, which it will then use to calculate the ideal time for a service, meaning you only visit the garage when necessary.

When is it due?

The car’s dashboard will alert you, and it can be up to a maximum of 18,600 miles or 24 months - whichever comes first.

Who is it for?

High mileage drivers doing lots of long-distance journeys.

Sinclair Audi Service Plans

Sinclair Audi, like other UK Audi dealerships, offers service plans to help you spread the cost of servicing. The main benefit of choosing a service plan is that you can save money and spread the cost of maintenance.

Here’s a look at what they generally offer:

Fixed Price Service Plans

These plans cover the cost of your next two services at a fixed price, so you don't have to worry about price rises.

You can usually pay for these upfront or in monthly instalments.
