Audi Service Lytham St Annes
Four weeks.
That was how long Mr B had been waiting for his Audi RS5 service at a local Audi dealership.
Yet, only days before his visit, the appointment was cancelled, leaving him uncertain when his RS5 would finally be serviced.
The problem is… Audi designs servicing intervals to protect performance, and delaying them (even by a small amount of time) can allow minor issues or early wear to progress unnoticed, especially on models like the RS5.
Keen to keep everything on track, Mr B searched for a dependable alternative for his Audi service.
After a recommendation from a friend, he booked his vehicle’s service at Marc’s Garage, Lytham St Annes, an independent Audi specialist garage that follows Audi-approved servicing guidance without unnecessary waiting times.
When Mr B arrived for his appointment, he was welcomed by our team, and our technicians began work on the scheduled Audi RS5 service.

Checking the Audi RS5 Service Details Ahead of the Appointment
Before Mr B attended his booking, our team had already reviewed the essential details, including the dealer cancellation and the Audi RS5 service his vehicle required.
When he arrived at Marc’s Garage, we completed our standard check-in and confirmed the scope of work for the visit.
We then reviewed the Audi digital service record using Audi-approved software. This confirmed the RS5 was assigned the correct service level and that an Audi brake fluid change was required at this stage.
For high-performance vehicles like his Audi RS5, adhering to Audi’s strict service intervals is crucial. Even small delays can allow minor issues or early wear to go unnoticed.
Once everything was verified, our experts began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, including the complimentary safety inspection provided with every Audi service at Marc’s Garage.

What Our Complimentary Audi Safety Inspection Looks For
Every Audi service completed at Marc’s Garage includes a free safety inspection carried out during the servicing process. This series of checks forms part of the process and helps confirm that no underlying issues are present at the time of the visit.
It offers additional reassurance that everything appears as it should.
This inspection is carried out on every vehicle we service using Audi’s manufacturer information. Each component is reviewed against Audi’s specifications for the model, ensuring the inspection remains detailed, consistent and in line with Audi servicing guidelines.
The purpose of this inspection is to provide additional reassurance and to demonstrate that the vehicle has been thoroughly checked beyond the scheduled service items.
Completing the Audi RS5 Service in Line with Audi Guidance
Once the initial checks were completed, our technicians began the scheduled Audi RS5 service, working in accordance with Audi’s service guidelines and the vehicle’s digital service record.
At Marc’s Garage, this part of the visit centres on the key service items Audi requires at this stage of the RS5’s service plan.
For Mr B’s Audi RS5, the service involved:
- Checking the air and cabin filter condition.
- Inspecting the brake system.
- Replacing the engine oil and filter.
- Reviewing tyre condition and pressures.
- Carrying out a visual underside inspection.
- Assessing fluid levels.
- Confirming lights, wipers and washers were operating correctly.
Alongside the service work, our technicians completed the checks included in the complimentary safety inspection. With everything appearing as it should, we moved on to the scheduled Audi brake fluid change.
Completing the Audi Brake Fluid Change as Part of the RS5 Service
The next part of the service involved carrying out the Audi brake fluid change, which was due according to the RS5’s service plan.
Audi outlines specific intervals for brake fluid replacement to ensure stable braking performance, especially on high-performance vehicles like Mr B’s Audi RS5.
As brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, its effectiveness can be reduced. Renewing it at the interval shown in the handbook helps ensure the braking system continues to operate as intended while keeping you safe.
You can read more about this in our Brake Fluid Guide.
Working in line with Audi’s procedures, our technicians:
- Removed the old brake fluid from the system.
- Added fresh Audi-approved brake fluid.
- Bled the braking system following manufacturer-guided steps to ensure even fluid distribution.
- Confirmed pedal response and braking feel once complete.
With the brake fluid change finished, the Audi RS5 service was now complete, and the vehicle was almost ready to be handed back to Mr B.
Finalising the Audi RS5 Service and Updating the Digital Record
Before handing the vehicle back to Mr B, our Audi experts updated the official digital service record through Audi’s manufacturer system.
As an independent Audi garage, Marc’s Garage, Lytham St Annes, has authorised access to Audi’s official digital service platform, allowing the service to be logged exactly as Audi expects.
Keeping this service record current:

Once the update was complete, we contacted Mr B to confirm his RS5 was ready for collection.
He was pleased with the efficient turnaround and clear communication he’d received throughout the visit.
