£500 aint too bad for an ATF change on a D3, the filter and atf fluid would make up a good chunk of it. Insist that they drop the pan would be my advice. I used an Audi Dealer to do 3 ATF changes on my last D3 without issue but I would insist on a mastertech carrying out the work rather than some apprentice that started last week.
A ZF service centre is the place to go if you were ever in Germany at some point, very reasonable and serious attention to detail according to any customer reviews I've seen.
