A small flashing light – enough at times to throw a driver’s daily routine into disarray if it means a service indicator lighting up unexpectedly. To ensure stress-free driving and high quality, car manufacturers advise customers to take their vehicle to the workshop at predefined intervals, with these intervals usually based on average values and not on individual driving style and actual wear.
Audi makes the maintenance process smart, predictive and convenient: from continuous monitoring of the condition of parts based on time, mileage and sensor data to notifications in the myAudi app* through to making contact via Audi Service Partners. The service you need, when you need it!
Predictive Maintenance*, *, * notifies Audi drivers when certain vehicle parts are no longer working properly due to wear or when potential checks are due. The vehicle can detect existing or foreseeable maintenance or repair requirements thanks to the use of sensitive sensor technology and evaluation of real-time data. This is based on sensors recording data from selected parts while driving. An analysis tool continuously compares this data with the optimal values from intact components – and can thus predict the need for maintenance. The objective is to predict the optimal time to carry out maintenance.
Technology
Customers can see the status of selected wear parts at a glance. For example, information on the current condition of the brake pads or the 12-volt battery is presented clearly in the myAudi app* and the vehicle’s service app. Other details shown include the often overlooked expiry date of the first-aid kit. Thanks to the app, customers can take action early on and prevent potential downtime as far as possible. By activating predictive maintenance in the myAudi app*, the previously appointed authorized dealer contacts the customer if needed when maintenance is required.
Audi smart service and predictive maintenance*, *, * in the myAudi app* ensure maximum planning certainty. Using real-time data, the system can detect early on when maintenance is needed. The appointed authorized dealer proactively contacts the customer if necessary as soon as a need for maintenance arises.

Benefits
Up to now, vehicle maintenance was completely reactive and tied to fixed maintenance intervals. With reactive maintenance, wear-related problems are only dealt with after they have actually occurred, resulting in potential vehicle breakdowns or downtime during repairs. Additional costs and unforeseen delays are also possible consequences – a major annoyance for any customer. Conversely, if maintenance is carried out too early because of fixed maintenance intervals, there is a risk of wasting resources unnecessarily.
Predictive maintenance*, *, * offers many advantages that simplify the everyday lives of Audi drivers.
- Smart and predictive: The vehicle measures and analyzes selected wear parts, so that potential defects can be detected early on and unexpected downtime can largely be avoided.
- Convenient and stress-free: Data can be automatically transmitted to previously appointed authorized dealers. The Audi Partner then contacts the customer by phone if maintenance is needed.
- Cost-efficient and time-saving: Maintenance work that can arise because of delays in carrying out repairs is largely avoided. The costs of towing services can likewise be avoided, in the same way as downtime and idle time.
- Free-of-charge and value-preserving: The predictive maintenance*, *, * service is free-of-charge to use. Needs-based maintenance can extend the service life and therefore help to preserve the value of the vehicle.
- Need-driven and resource-efficient: Fewer visits to the workshop and fewer repairs conserve resources.
- Tailored: Customers receive an offer tailored to their needs in the event of required maintenance or repairs – naturally with the customary quality expected of Audi Genuine Parts.
