Servicing older European vehicles after their original factory warranty expires can be a worrying and sometimes expensive prospect for those who still enjoy driving their pride and joy, except if it’s an Audi.

    The iconic German luxury brand, known for its four-ring logo and quattro all-wheel drive system, offers the perfect solution with its Audi Essential Service program for owners of Audi models eight years or older.

    The peace of mind that comes with servicing a prestige car at an official dealer cannot be overstated, given the value of having the vehicle serviced by properly trained Audi technicians using the latest workshop equipment and genuine Audi parts.

    100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.

    Audi offers two service options: Audi Essential Service at a fixed price of $399, or Audi Essential Service Plus for $499.

    Apart from the service itself, owners also receive a detailed vehicle inspection and the all-important vehicle logbook stamp, which matters most when it comes time to selling your vehicle.

    Included in the $399 Audi Essential Service package is:

    • Genuine Audi engine oil and oil filter
    • Detailed vehicle inspection with digital report covering underbody and exhaust system, windscreen and body, windscreen wipers and washers, horn, seatbelts and lighting, battery, engine including cooling and fuel systems, gearbox, final drive, steering and suspension, wheels and tyres, tyre repair sealant, brakes, brake hoses and road test
    • Logbook stamp for an oil change service
    • Resetting the service interval display
    • 20 per cent off the RRP for Audi genuine parts purchased and fitted at the dealer

    Included in the $499 Audi Essential Service Plus in addition to the standard Essential Service are:

    • Genuine Audi dust and pollen cabin filter replacement
    • Up to 12 months of Audi Service Initiated Roadside Assistance from the date of service

    It’s deals like these that make servicing your older Audi at an official dealer a smart move, not just from a value standpoint but for the reassurance and warranty that comes with it.
