You don't know what you don't know.
My last dealer warranty oil change sent me out the door with a 1qt over fill. The oil was still dirty so I suspect an incomplete extraction. I just did my self 5k change and the oil filter was significantly over torqued.
So easy on the A4 I can do it myself without getting my hands dirty in less time than driving to the dealer and back.

Costco has the QuickJack at a significant discount that will make things even easier.

It will make summer to winter tire changes easier on the Audi. Other work become more pratical since there are not many options to place jack stands under the A4.

I think Bob and I were questioning the safety of the QuickJack. I'm sure it could easily lift a Cadillac Escalade, but it looks pretty flimsy. Not something I'd want to get underneath.

QuikJack has been around for a while and have a good record. I've seen them in use at the track and they are very stable..
Personally I always overkill safety if I am going to be under a vehicle - I would still have ramps/blocks supporting the tires or jack stands under the car if I am physically under it
