Audi Out-of-Warranty Customers Get Surprise Ride in R8
Audi Canada has launched a new program called Audi Summer Health Check, offering its owners a complimentary 30-point vehicle inspection and roadside assistance for six months at no extra charge. And the automaker has enlisted the help of its 500-plus horsepower R8 to spread the word.
