Owning an Audi means driving a vehicle built on precision engineering, cutting-edge technology, and refined performance. But to keep your Audi operating at its best, routine maintenance is key. At North Shore Motor Werks, we specialize in Audi service, helping drivers stay ahead of costly repairs and maintain peak performance throughout every season.
Key Summary
Audi vehicles require routine maintenance for optimal performance, safety, and longevity. This includes oil and filter changes, brake system checks, fluid inspections, tire alignment, and battery health assessments. Following a strict Audi maintenance schedule can help prevent issues and reduce long-term repair costs. Trust North Shore Motor Werks for expert Audi service that’s dealership-quality without the dealership prices.
Recommended Audi Maintenance Schedule
Audis are high-performance vehicles, but New England weather and road conditions can be rough on critical systems. Salt, potholes, and temperature fluctuations take a toll over time. For most models, we recommend service every 10,000 miles or once a year—whichever comes first.
Audi 10,000-Mile Service
The first service milestone typically includes:
- Engine oil and filter replacement with Audi-approved synthetic oil
- Brake inspection
- Multi-point vehicle check
- Tire pressure adjustment and inspection
- Wiper blade check
Audi 20,000-Mile Service
This interval builds on the 10K service with:
- Cabin air filter replacement
- Brake fluid replacement (every 2 years regardless of mileage)
- Inspection of suspension and steering components
Essential Audi Maintenance Services
Audi Oil Changes
Fresh synthetic oil helps reduce engine wear and improve efficiency. Audi generally recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles, but at North Shore Motor Werks, we suggest every 7,000 miles to account for harsh driving conditions and to extend engine life.
Audi Brake System Checks
Brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid should be regularly inspected. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing effectiveness. We recommend fluid replacement every two years to maintain optimal stopping power.
Tire Care and Alignment
Proper tire pressure and alignment keep your ride smooth and improve fuel efficiency. Uneven wear can lead to premature tire replacement and compromised handling. Regular inspections help avoid this.
Coolant and Fluids
Routine checks of your Audi’s coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid are essential. These fluids regulate temperature, transmission performance, and steering control. Neglecting them can lead to overheating or drivability issues.
Battery Health
Audi’s electrical systems rely on a strong battery. From advanced lighting to onboard computers, keeping your battery tested and charged helps avoid sudden failures. We test battery performance at every service appointment.
Spark Plugs and Filters
Spark plugs typically last 30,000–100,000 miles depending on the model and engine. Replacing them on time improves fuel economy and prevents misfires. Cabin and engine air filters should be changed every two years to ensure clean airflow and HVAC efficiency.
Why Routine Maintenance Matters for Audi Owners
Staying on top of your Audi maintenance schedule helps prevent major breakdowns, improves resale value, and keeps your vehicle driving like new. Delaying service can lead to issues like:
- Engine sludge buildup from old oil
- Warped brake rotors due to worn pads
- Overheating from low coolant
- Poor fuel economy from dirty filters or misfires
