I have been to my share of shady service departments Audi of Clear Water, FL, Auto Nation Ford of St Petersburg come to mind.

I would question why they want to put useless Zmax in your car at all? and how can they list so many thing as "Complimentary" that has an $860 price tag.

Yes, the price of that 35k service is comically high. For a quattro with the ZF8, there is no transmission service, so I would only ask for the three items below:

Engine Oil & Filter - Replace
Dust/Pollen Filter - Replace
Spark Plugs - Replace

I do the pollen filter in five minutes myself, so I had my 30k service performed at an indy shop for roughly $200-250 as opposed to the absurd amount that the dealer would have quoted.

Do you think they list that trans service, but just look at it with the computer? not really do a drain and fill?

But some of the other things really got me, The car wash a $30 value, or the multi point check after they service the car another $70 value....

My oil and filter $24 0w40 Mobile1@ Walmart and $13 Mann
Cabin Air Filter $12
Spark plugs $30
Can be done in your driveway in less than an hour.
