Default Facing fifty k service.

This week is the last "free" scheduled maintenance, fifty k. Any suggestions based on your experience with fifty k service as to what to ask them to pay attention to?

Default According to the service schedule...

...50K is a "small one" (in contrast to the comprehensive ones at 40 and 60). You can probably make points with them by impressing on them that you're keeping the car and will bring it back at 60K.

My 40K is coming up, and they're going to look into a brake pulsation (probably slightly warped rotors) -- this is something worth having done under warranty.

Default Just make sure your odometer says less than 50k. My dealer was a ***** about that with my last car

I would have had to pay for the service.

Default Ditto bigmitch. They won't let you slide one mile over 50K and...

...my experience is that they won't do an ounce of preventative maintenance either. If it isn't a problem that you can demonstrate then and there don't expect them to look for what might be a problem. Unfortunately, they're very by-the-book and guys like us are moneypits to them. Your dealer may be nice but Audi of America can be very nasty in terms of reimbursing him. JMO

Default Absolutely! I got brand new Brakes all around with the 40K...

Brakes is a safety issue so Audi doesn't play any games or would take any risks. Go for it!
