Default Is Audi Care worth it?

Doing the 1st (free) maintenance for my 2018 S6 this Monday.
What is the best option for the upcoming maintenance for the next few years?
If I opt for Audi Care, can it be used at any Audi dealer?
How much did you have to pay for it?

Thanks!

Yes, AudiCare is good at any dealer in the US

How many miles a year do you drive? Are you more of a DIY type?

It's $1179 on an S6

I drive about $10k per year - this is my 2nd car.
While I can do many things myself, I would prefer to do it at the dealership.
Is the price fixed by Audi, or set by a dealer and may vary?
Also, I have aftermarket wheels and tires with very small (5mm) spacers - would it be a problem?
thanks!

it can vary slightly by dealer up or down. It is a tiny profit margin ($80)

wheel and tire combo will not affect AudiCare

The 35k s-tronic fluid change is quite expensive...making Audicare worth it as long as your dealership is mechanically competent.

Depends on how many miles you put on the car per year. For me, 5-6k mi/yr was NOT worth it.

Default worth it

They will do all services based on time, not mileage, so worth it. Just ask them to price yearly service you will do. I drive 8K mi per year.

You will save over 50% with audicare. Still a bit pricey but try and find an Indy that will provide a loaner!!
