Audi RS6 Service Costs: What to Expect & How to Save Money | GVE London – Blog

With great power comes a great service bill. Alas, there is really no sugarcoating it. High-end vehicles, like the RS6 that combines great performance with luxury, aren’t cheap to buy nor to maintain. However, there are ways one can be smart about it and save money in the longer run whilst preserving their car’s performance. Let’s take a look at how one can do so.

Understanding Audi RS6 Service Plans

Audi offers various service plans tailored to different models. Notably, the RS6, with its 4.0L engine, is often excluded from standard service plans. For instance, the ‘All-in from Audi’ plan, which includes services like warranty, MOTs, and roadside assistance, is available for vehicles with engines up to 2.0L and does not cover the RS6.

Typical Service Costs for the Audi 

So, the service costs of the RS6 would vary greatly based upon your geographical location, the supercar service centre you choose, as well as the vehicle’s age and needs.
Here is a generalised price list for reference in and near London:

• Oil Service: £415
• Inspection Service: £240
• Oil and Inspection Service with Pollen Filter: £650

We did not include major components such as brake discs and pads here as they need to be changed around every 50,000 kms. However, the cost is roughly around £2,500.

Factors Influencing Maintenance Expenses

What makes predicting maintenance expenses such a difficult task is the fact that it is highly variable based upon several factors, including but not limited to:

Driving Style

If one drives their car aggressively or on the track, they can expect a major higher bill as well as the need to get their car serviced more often. Why? Simply because aggressive drives accelerate — no pun intended — the wear and tear of the components present in and on the car such as brakes, tyres, clutch, etc., leading to required replacements.

Mileage

The more a car is driven, the higher the likelihood of wear and tear. Thus, necessitating more frequent servicing.

Choice of Service Centre

Not all brands are the same, not all cars require the same type of maintenance and not all supercar service centres are identical. Authorised dealers are often recommended as the go-to option because, after all, they’re directly linked to the manufacturer. However, not everything that makes intuitive sense is the right answer.

Independent specialists nowadays have come a long way and are capable of offering top-tier service that matches that of authorised dealerships at a much more competitive price. A supercar service centre like GVE London has access to not only all the needed parts and tools but technicians that have been factory-trained or are ex-dealership employees.

Prevention is Better Than Cure

Arguably, the best thing one can do in regards to their Audi RS6 maintenance and saving massively on repair and service bills is simply by servicing their car regularly. It really is as simple as that.

You see, regular Audi RS6 servicing does not cost a fortune, it is actually quite reasonable. It is when a small issue snowballs into a breakdown that costs a pretty pound. If an individual follows the provided maintenance schedule, which is typically done every year or 10,000, considering driving style was average, one can identify and nip any issues in the bud before they have the chance to sprout into a larger issue.

Conclusion

It is no doubt a commitment to maintain and bear the associated costs of service for an Audi RS6. However, that isn’t something one isn’t aware of when purchasing such a vehicle. Supercar or supercar servicing after all. As a responsible owner, it falls upon to be aware about the expenses and explore all the effective and no-shortcuts-taken ways of saving money.
