The proposed recommendations assume that the owner performs the maintenance procedures for the car independently, in contrast to the work performed at the service station of the AUDI representative office. While this schedule is based on manufacturer's recommendations, intervals between most procedures can be shortened at the discretion of the vehicle owner, such as checking and changing lubricants and fluids at intervals that maximize engine or drive life. In addition, if the owner of the car is interested in keeping it in a state of maximum readiness for use in case of a possible resale, many procedures can be performed more frequently. We only welcome such an initiative.
The initial service and inspection of a new car must be carried out at a service station of the representative branch of the company in order to fulfill the conditions of the warranty obligation. In most cases, this verification is free of charge (For further information, please contact the representative office of the company).
