Audi Roadside Assistance

[Hopsta]

So with your dad working for the RAC, has he said that the Audi Assist RAC bods get better training and have better tools for working on Audis?

Call me cynical, but I've always thought it was a load of rubbish to charge extra. I mean, you have an RAC van that's 15 minutes away, but he isn't 'Audi Assist' - are they going to ignore him and task an 'Audi Assist' RAC man that's 45 minutes away instead?

Yes the Audi Techs have specialst training on VAG cars.

I think in regards to who you'll get when you call, depends on what's wrong with the car. Why send a specialist to change a wheel or give your battery a boost.

The RAC cover overall is done by 'demand let rostering' so try to predict what cover is required on a daily basis based on passed years.

I think if it was me then I would take the general membership, like you say it will cover you and not the car, plus the RAC bods do have diagnostic kit which can read your ECU etc.

If I've got my laptop and VAG-COM cable, haven't I got that anyway?
