What’s annual maintenance for an Audi?

S2 Dynamics on Parklawn drive. We have been with them for 15 years, with four different Audis.

At least $2000 after year two.

We have ones three q5 and one q7

For one Audi q5 new tires yearly. Yes yearly on models 2020, 21,23 Audi has a known problem which they have recalled however the fix stinks. We had two tire blow outs on I95 not fun. Caused directly by Audi not fixing a known problem

They gave us new tires three times..,

There is another recall they fixed by putting a plastic bag over the mechanism not a good fix.

Lucky if their presence doesn’t kill you.

Let’s just say Audi’s love the ride and the trim but be ready for mega dollars in fixes and crappy service at Rockville Audi. Worst dealer we have ever bought from.

Buy Lexus instead.

Worst of both worlds.

I say that as really good Japanese cars rarely break. However the foreign parts are expensive.

American cars break more often than Japanese cars but parts are cheaper.

Audi type cars break down a lot and parts are expensive. Double whammy.

Not joke my old Ford Taurus tires was $50 each my old Audi tire $200 each. My old Ford Taurus Battery $79 with install my Old Audi Battery with install $500.

Now my of Toyota parts cost a bit more but rarely broke. And maint was cheap.

$200 plus Audi oil changes and expensive oil filters add up.

My favorite change bulb headlight Taurus $5 dollar vs. $500 Audi.

For complex work NGP either in Manassas or Harford County but understand that is out of your local area. Still they are very good.

Mu Audi has 23 years and 200k miles and still going strong with my personal maintenance plus NGP.

This is stupid. The oil and oil filter that goes in an Audi can be bought at Autozone just like any other car. Bulbs are no different.
