Default a8 40k service.. it pays to call around

in ny/ct area,

Classic Auto... $400

Fairfield Audi... $150

Zumbach... no response

how can a glorified oil change and general inspection cost $400 you say? "it's a v-8, so it costs more" says the service manager at classic auto. thanks, i think i'll skip the rape. way to boost the audi reputation for customer-centric service.

Default Isn't this covered under scheduled maintance?

I thought the 4 year/50k included maintaince cover these service intervals? I know Jack Daniels tried to charge me for the 30k service, because I asked them to do it at 26K but I got them over that hurdle.

They are also supposed to change the plugs at 40k (at least on the '01s). Pk
