Audi Services In Northampton

At Elite Motor Tune we are passionate about Audi and it represents a large majority of our business, and we have a vast amount of experience in this field which is why we provide a cost effective service with no loss of warranty, carried out with the highest of standards. We at Elite Motor Tune are willing to spend the time to find the problem with vehicle where as other garages might dismiss the fault. The service which we provide for the Audi owner is as follows.

We provide services for the Quattro turbo owner since the 1980’s which includes performance upgrades and also general servicing for restorations.  Even in this current time we still get a high number of these vehicles and keep the stock needed to maintain the precise components needed on site.

On older vehicles the service schedules are 6000 miles for the lubrication service (oil service) and 12000 for the major service. On later vehicles the service schedules are 10,000 miles for the lubrication service and 20,000 miles for the major service. We cater for and comply with both these schedules. On the latest vehicles (2000 onwards) Audi have decided to use "long-life" service intervals. We have found that this is not beneficial to the vehicle as the increased time between services causes filters to block and reduces efficiency. In our experience air filters are typically blocked and the engine is not performing with the efficiency that normal service intervals give. We recommend to our customers that they use 10,000 mile service intervals on these later models and we can alter your service interval indicator to the 10,000 interval period. Even though this gains an extra service in every 30,000 miles we can still save you money on the dealer servicing cost and we guarantee you will not notice the difference. However, we recognise that some customers will want to follow the long-life schedule which may be required by a warranty period, and we also offer long-life servicing at very competitive prices compared to dealer costs.
