Audi Care covers basic maintenance. There are plenty of exclusions, but I have not heard many complaints about it. One service basically costs the same as 4 years of Audi Care.

Audi Care is about $850 or so. It'll cover you for all regularly scheduled maintenance during warranty period. It comes out cheaper than if you had to pay for all this maintenance individually at a dealer.

Of course, you do not have to have it serviced at the dealer. You may be able to find an indy shop that will do it for less than what Audi Care costs.

FYI, the first service at 5K is free, so technically you do not have to make a decision on this until you get to 15K miles.

Exactly correct. I bought my Audi care on my second service ~ 15k. I forget how much was saved, but it is definitely worth it if you intend to have Audi do the maintenance.

And did you need to spend something till your second service ?
Also after purchasing audi care, did you experience zero service charge for all the stuff (end to end (oil change to any technical problem or even replacement of any part in case required ).
What plan of audi care to buy ?

Well, you are still responsible for all the normal wear-and-tear items: tires, brakes, etc.
