I’m Dave Garcia, owner and master technician at Hyperformance Garage. I service Audi cars, quattro all-wheel drive, and S and RS models. Minor maintenance is the smaller of Audi’s two scheduled visits: oil and filter, a brake pad thickness check, and a reminder reset. It’s straightforward, routine work, and it’s what keeps the bigger visits from turning into surprises. Tell me your model and mileage and I’ll confirm what your Audi is due for, and I give you a firm timeline with your written quote.
What Audi minor maintenance includes
- Engine oil and oil filter change with factory-spec oil
- Brake pad thickness check
- Service reminder reset
- Tire repair kit check and information recorded, where equipped
- Fluid level checks and top-offs
- Tire pressures set to spec
- A visual look at brakes, belts, hoses, and lights while the car is up
- Written report with photos of everything checked and found
Minor maintenance is due every 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Tell me your model and mileage and I’ll confirm your schedule.
My process
- I confirm your Audi’s model and mileage and check what the factory schedule calls for at this visit.
- I change the oil and filter with factory-spec oil and check the brake pad thickness.
- I check the fluids, set the tire pressures, and look over the brakes, belts, hoses, and lights.
- I reset your service reminder and check the tire repair kit where equipped.
- You get a written report with photos of everything I checked and found, on every job. If I spot anything else, you get a written quote with the problem, the fix, and the cost before I touch it. Nothing happens without your approval.
FAQ
What’s the difference between minor and standard maintenance?
Minor maintenance is the 10,000-mile or one-year visit: oil and filter, brake pad thickness check, reminder reset. Standard maintenance is the 20,000-mile or two-year visit, which adds the dust and pollen filter, brake fluid change, and the full inspection list.
How do I know which one my Audi is due for?
Your dash tells you. Tell me your model, mileage, and what the reminder says and I’ll confirm which visit your Audi needs.
Do you work on S and RS models?
Yes. I service the full Audi range, including quattro, S, and RS cars.
What if you find something else during the visit?
I tell you, I show you photos, and I give you a written quote. Diagnosis is part of the free quote, so there is no separate diagnostic fee, and nothing gets done without your approval.
Is maintenance covered by your warranty?
My 24-month/24,000-mile warranty backs qualifying repairs, in writing, on the invoice. Routine maintenance is what keeps the car healthy so it needs fewer repairs in the first place.
