Audi Care Select
What's the opinion on the Audi Care Select program? Worth it? Anyone got it (or will be getting it)? If so, what level are you getting?

I bought the normal Audi Care for my Mk 2. Even though I like to do a lot of the simple work myself (filters and plugs, etc) the price of the basic service was about the same as the cost of 10K oil changes and the special services like Haledex bought a la cart, so the basic service was a bargain. (The price was also lower at that time) I just completed the program at 45K miles and asked my service advisor about Select and he said it would be cheaper to just get services a la cart, even more so since I can do the simple services myself.

I bought the super-duper plan. Don't have to worry about anything for the first 50k miles. For me it was worth it as that i don't like doing ANYTHING myself. Just washing it is a full time job
It is a big profit center for the dealership and there is lots of room to talk them down. Don't take the MSRP on that one for sure. I ended up paying $829 for the premium Audi care plan. i want to say it MSRPs for a couple thousand.

Actually, there is only one Audi Care plan for the 15, 25, 35 and 45K mile (or every 12 months, whichever comes first) scheduled maintenances. (Audi Care Select or Audi Care Plus is for 55K and beyond services). Keep in mind that AC does not cover everything, i.e. windshield wipers, tire rotation/balancing or in between oil changes, etc.
Note that there is very little profit for the dealer with Audi Care - cost is about 90% of retail. They like to sell it because it usually keeps the owner coming back to that dealer for maintenance and hope they can sell other services down the road.

Correct for the US

You can buy Select for services after 45K at that time and I just discussed this with my Service Advisor after my 45K service last week but decided it was cheaper to buy services a la cart.
I used to do oil changes on all my cars but my TTs with the undercover were just a PIA so I let the dealer do it. Cost is about $70 if you bring your own oil or $100 with a coupon. You still get the fluid checks and safety inspection that you pay for in the 10K service intervals packages. You get the "free" car wash and interior cleaning. You also build a relationship with the service dept which came in handy on my second TT when the valve body on the automatic tranny failed about 2 years after the warranty expired. Whether it was BS or not, they said because I was a loyal customer with documented Audi service, that they got Audi to pay for the majority of the repair which saved me several $k.
