You see lots of comments about Audi dealers price matching - someone on Pistonheads got them to price match Halfords!
VAG variable servicing is complicated and rarely understood, which presents a great oportunity for dealers to to rip customers off. The oil change service is almost literally just that, plus some very basic safety checks. What the dealer is likely doing is adding in the first Inspection too, but that's not due until 2yrs old.
I waited while daughter's Golf had its first oil change service done, and the car was in the workshop 20 mins. It was on a VWFS service contract and of course they can't rip them off with extra work. The dealer accidentally gave me the invoice - £68 inc parts, labour and VAT.
