And main dealer will price match independents subject to conditions here https://www.audi.co.uk/owners-area/s...ice-match.html

I saved £600 on two injectors using this price match. But often, I anyway prefer and trust myself or independent more than I do the main dealer..

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks for posting the info

Looking at the conditions, I notice they insist on the quote including a two year guarantee. I expect that would exclude most indies.

The 2 year guarantee is on genuine Audi parts so long as they are fitted by a VAT registered garage, so if your indie used genuine parts you should be covered

Depends.

Indies may not want to replace a part say 18 months in which involves 3 hours labour. It is understandable as the labour cannot be claimed on a faulty part. Audi however would have to replace FOC.

My point really was for the "price match", not holding an indie over a barrel
