Don't Get Ripped Off Buying Audi Wiper Blades
My father recently took his Audi to get serviced at one of the approved Audi garages in our area. However as it was in the next town over I followed him through to give him a lift back home. As we arrived you could tell this place was a bit better than your average garage. Everything looked very clean and polished. It was a very nice place but nothing like my local garage. As the car was now 3 years old it was no longer covered by the free servicing which had been offered when he bought the car. Because of this my father asked about the price and was promptly handed a card which broke down all the costs incurred by the service. I was expecting this to be a little more than usual as this is an approved garaged after all. As I glanced down the list something jumped out at me.
Audi wiper blades were priced on this list at 39. I couldn't believe it; I know from my own experience that you don't need to spend this much to get good blades. I pointed this out to my father who didn't seem to see the problem. So he handed over the keys and we headed home. On the drive home I brought up the cost again and he kept telling me that you need to spend a little bit extra to get a quality product. The problem is that it is very difficult to tell if paying more for something like this actually has any benefit. So I decided to have a look on the internet for Audi wiper blades. I couldn't seem to find any alternatives anywhere near this price which confirmed my beliefs. The problem is there's no like for like competition, the products made by Audi are only sold by their authorised sellers. However Audi wiper blades just as good, if not better, can be found at a number of online shops by different manufactures. This creates competition which brings the price down to a fair price. So the price alone does not guarantee quality. After reading some reviews it seemed clear to me that the official Audi wiper blades were no better than cheaper alternatives. So with this in mind please ensure the next time you are buying something from an authorised outlet ensure that you do a bit of research first. Sometimes it's worth spending the extra money but this is not always the case. It is important to know what you are buying and why it costs what it does. Perhaps if enough people refused to pay more than what they would elsewhere in places like this they'd be forced to lower their prices?
There are a few checks which you can carry out in order to determine exactly where any problems within your vehicle are coming from. Check the dash for warning lights. Virtually every car nowadays will have some form of warning indicator to let you know that something somewhere is not right. A code reader is a handy tool to have. Have a look at the engine, check for any disconnected lines, check liquid levels and battery terminals too. Inspect the fuse box too. Diagnostic flow charts can be invaluable. Begin at the problem and see where the chart takes you - simple - hopefully! So there you have it, there is no exact science when it comes to diagnostics. Some problems can be very obvious such as a damaged wheel or bumper. Others such as problems deep within the engine can take time to find and may need the expertise of someone who is well versed in the field. Either way, it pays to have the relevant manual for your own make and model of car in your possession just in case!
