Audi launches a two-year service plan for older vehicles
Audi has launched AudiSmart, an affordable two-year servicing plan which is offered to Audi vehicles ranging from 6 to 13 years old (or within a maximum mileage threshold of 270 000 KM). This new serving plan will also be applicable to Audi vehicles with 30 000 KM on the clock and will also include two minor oil change services at a discounted price.
AudiSmart Service ensures that only trained Audi technicians will maintain the vehicle. Only authentic Audi parts, specialized Audi equipment, and diagnostic tools will be used in servicing the car. This plan can be topped up at any Audi Dealership and as part of value-added service to this package, the AudiSmart Service plan also includes comprehensive roadside assistance (Audi Assist) as a bonus.
Hassan Salie, Head of Aftersales and Dealer Development at Audi South Africa says, "The AudiSmart Service offering allows older Audi models to continue being serviced or return their servicing history at a franchised Audi Dealership which prides itself in offering the best and most comprehensive care for an Audi”. He also added, "There are many, older Audi vehicles in the market which are not covered by the Audi Freeway Plan or Freeway Plan Extension. The AudiSmart Service plan thereby gives those drivers an affordable Audi servicing option based on experienced labour and brand assurance,".
AudiSmart Service plans will retail from R4,800 and will be available at any Audi Dealership in South Africa. This recently launched plan is part of the Audi South Africa's suite of service and maintenance options within the Audi Freeway Plan (5 years and/or 100 000 KM) and Freeway Plan Extension (10 years and/or 300 00 KM) portfolio.
