Dealership price / cost for $75K maintenance?
For those of you who have had the $75k mile scheduled maintenance done at an Audi dealership... What did it cost you? If you got a "special deal" please give details. I'm asking because I want to double check on the quote that my preferred local dealer gave me.
P.S. I was pretty sure that someone had asked this question before. But I couldn't find any specific threads after searching "maintenance", "75K", "75,000", "cost", "pay" and "price". Thanks!
If you never exceed the limits, how do you know where they are?
It was Mark that worked out the discounts in Chicago.
He took all the parts listed in the 75k sticky above and went over to genuinevwaudiparts.com and got the discount prices. Then he called his Audi dealer and asked them to match those prices. They did. Then he worked on the labor rate and ended up with 20% off the labor price.
In the end he was around 2300 give or take for the job.
The Audi parts discounted come to around 750 bucks give or take for the components.
If you want me to go over your quote send it over on PM. Pat and I just completed this job last month. 700 bucks for the whole deal.
Dave,
I had read about what you did and appreciate you taking the time to reply. Unfortunately though, your situation doesn't really apply to what I need to know: What have other people paid dealerships to do the $75K service.
Thanks again for the info. - BLITZEN

It was Mark that took our info and worked out a better deal with his Audi dealer. I think his info is in one of those threads.
I think he paid 2300 for the service. give or take.
Retail prices can run up to 3500 for a complete 75k service.
Yep Dave covered it exactly ...as Dave said i took the exact OEM parts list with prices from the website in his post and then asked if they would match...their parts guy did. So that added up to whatever the below does to be exact. I just did the timing belt and water pump though not the entire 75K service that includes filters and plugs, oil change etc too. So the standard labor rate i was quoted for the belt and water pump service (and assiociated rollers etc.) was $1450.00. I had a coupon they had emailed me for 15% off labor for timing belt changes...so that (parts/labor) ended up being $2050 plus sales tax. On dealer websites in your area you can always find 10 to 15% off labor so look for those...any dealer will honor another dealers coupons. Parts with prices cut out of an email to me:

Waterpump
$271 with discount. Prices are going up boys and girls. This water pump listed for 122 just a few short weeks ago. Now the list price is 377 dollars. It may be time to give Audi a call and complain about these price increases. 300% increase on a waterpump? Please
Nearly 400 dollars for a waterpump?
If you were holding your breath for inflation. You can start to breath now.
The WP is a must at 75k.
This answers what I was asking. Thank you. Has anyone else taken their cars to dealerships for 75k maitenance?Originally Posted by DHall1

I think it's ridiculous to pay someone that much to do this job. $3500? NFW.

If you are looking at genuinevwaudiparts.com, they may have run out of a certain brand of pump and the new brand is more expensive. Since there are preferred brands, they may be using the better ones now. HEPU and GRAF are preferred over Meyle and others.

Who do you know and when did they know it?
Are these parts from Audi?
How could genuinevwaudi.com make a different supplier choice? These are all Audi parts in Audi boxes.
I could see maybe the 122 dollar waterpump being a reman and the 377 dollar pump a new unit. But both will come in a Audi box and PN.
Agreed. I still have a head, two arms and two hands. I can do it just fine.
All you DIY'ers out there. Buyer beware. There is a specific process to tension and preload the two lower idler pulleys on the RS6. Just dont jump in there with the Bentley and think its gravy.
Just sayin
Oh and the other camp that thinks the dealer techs are "god". Well, pass me the crack pipe because your playin with fire. I know of a few blown 4.2tt's after a routine timing belt job.
Oh, back to the topic.
Hey Max! If I can speak for you....I have an invoice for Mad Max here....$2,600 dollars for the service. With waterpump and a couple of other minor items. Max gets a good buddy discount at his Audi dealer.
Come over here buddy.
Hell, I know of a few blown 4.2tt's after a simple spark plug change.

4500 dollar nose job for a 40,000 dollar engine. Hope your buddy has good insurance.

yeah, I figured there are some tricks to do it right. the bentley manual is usually missing key stuff. where did you find the secrets? care to share or point me in the right direction?
the parts are mostly genuine audi parts, but they come in the supplier's boxes. bearings are INA and NTN, belts are continental, plugs are NGK, etc... I made a deal with the dealership where I bought the car to let me buy all the parts I need for the 75k service their cost from a shop distributor. after this, I know another guy who will get parts at cost+10% which will end up being a great deal still. if you have any friends at local shops, see if they can do something like that. otherwise the genvw site is probably the best.
