Question
Has anyone purchased ceramic brakes and taken it to the dealer at the same time as their yearly maintenance to get them installed ??
If you did what did the Audi dealership say ?? Did they give u the run around??
Thanks

I haven't done it since I change my own brakes. I have heard of Lexus owners bringing their own oil and filters to the dealer for a oil change.
I would think that it depends on the service department so give yours a call and ask. It doesn't matter what all the other places are doing.

I called and the guy is giving me the run around. I am gonna talk to the other service writer and see what she says.

This is why it's better to NOT pay the exorbitant dealer fees and either find a good Independent shop or DIY. But this is also a YMMV type issue as some dealers will gladly order anything and install it at their inflated fees.
So glad I found a great DIY shop where I can take my car and work on it myself.

Those low price quick oil change places do the same thing. They change the oil and try to sell wiper blades, brake fluid, coolant, fuel injector cleaning, transmission service, etc.
Sounds like Audi could could work on their service after the sale issues.
