Why service your Audi at a certified dealership?
Audi maintenance is essential for your vehicle to maintain its performance and continue to deliver the same driving enjoyment as on day one.
For maintenance that ensures optimal results, trust a certified dealership. Certified Audi services offer several advantages that clearly set them apart from independent garages.
In short
- Genuine Audi parts help preserve your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
- Certified technicians are trained directly by the manufacturer to work on its vehicles.
- Certified maintenance services help protect your warranty.
Certified Audi expertise: a major advantage for maintenance
By trusting certified professionals, you benefit from the expertise of licensed mechanics for service tailored to your Audi and compliant with the German manufacturer’s strict standards.
Technicians trained directly by Audi
At a certified dealership, the technicians who work on your vehicle have completed training designed by the manufacturer to provide all the knowledge needed to service Audi cars and Audi SUVs properly.
Tools and diagnostics approved by the manufacturer
Beyond expertise obtained straight from the source, an authorized dealership ensures its technicians have access to the right tools so they can apply their knowledge using instruments best suited to each task.
Genuine Audi parts to preserve your vehicle
Along with experts in the field, servicing your Audi at an authorized dealership gives you quality work using genuine parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.
Why genuine parts make the difference
Genuine Audi parts are designed specifically for the brand’s models. While a third-party replacement might do the job, it will never match your vehicle as precisely as a certified Audi part.
Genuine parts help you get the most from performance and also help keep your vehicle as safe as possible.
Impact on your Audi warranty and resale value
Because repairs and maintenance carried out at a certified facility follow the manufacturer’s strict standards, they protect your warranty and can spare you from unpleasant surprises, like a major issue.
Plus, by keeping a complete and certified service record, you help your vehicle remain in the best possible condition and make it easier to resell.
A detailed history also makes a vehicle much more attractive to a buyer on the pre-owned market.
Service tailored to modern Audi models
Modern Audi vehicles are mechanical gems: machines that are extremely complex and refined. It is important that the vehicle be serviced in ways adapted to its specific systems.
Servicing hybrid and electric Audi vehicles
Audi hybrid and electric powertrains are the culmination of years of research and development to world-class standards. Certified Audi service helps ensure that quality is preserved.
In practical terms, this means you can retain the strong output and robust electric range of these impressive Audi electric vehicles for much longer by ensuring genuine parts are always used on your powertrain.
Servicing safety and driver assistance systems
Audi vehicles offer cutting-edge safety and driver assistance technologies, and even these sometimes require maintenance or repair.
When it comes to safety and driver assistance, it is not something to take lightly.
Certified service helps keep your safety systems at their peak, which also helps ensure you remain well protected behind the wheel of your Audi.
Service at a certified dealership vs. an independent garage
Getting your car serviced at a certified dealership is not the only option. Many choose independent garages, since they still offer certain advantages.
Key differences to know
At an independent garage, it is sometimes possible to save on service pricing, since the work is more generic and may rely on used parts or parts from another maker.
However, those savings can sometimes be a trap, since they can affect your vehicle’s resale value or even its warranty.
There are many advantages to dealing with an authorized dealership. Here is a summary of the most important ones:
- Genuine parts help ensure your Audi vehicle’s performance.
- Certified service helps protect your vehicle’s warranty.
- A complete service record can give your Audi better resale value.
When the dealership is the best choice
Usually, the dealership proves to be the best long-term choice. Savings you may see at an independent shop rarely outweigh the clear advantages of certified Audi service.
You will find a certified Audi service department at your Audi St-Laurent dealership in Montreal, near Mount Royal, Laval and LaSalle. Along with certified services tailored to your Audi, you will discover advantageous special offers.
