Are these things about Audi true?
Is it true that maintenance costs of Audi's are high? Simple works that takes 15 minutes on other cars takes approximately one hour on Audi cars. Works that take two hours on Toyota , Audi takes twice than this.

Leo, firstly, welcome to Audiworld!
Your statements are mostly generalizations. What you hint at is going to be influenced by model specifics. In general, a 4 cylinder Audi isn't necessarily more difficult to work on than a 4 cylinder Toyota. When you start discussing a V10 engine stuffed into a small engine bay, and repairing all wheel drive systems, yes, the Audi could be far more involved in terms of repairs.
You also need to compare hourly rates at your dealership. Audi is likely to be 50% higher, possibly more.
When one is concerned about their automotive "budget", and cost of ownership, selecting an Asian car is often the best course of action. Audis are expensive to care for if you farm all your work out to the dealership. No question about that.
