I’m not sure if this is the right place to post or not, but I got a 22 Audi plugin EV a few months ago, and it’s coming due for inspection/maintenance. Should I trust a “normal” mechanic with it or pay more to take it to a dealership?

The Audi dealership will presumably have a precise maintenance schedule and is the safest choice. On the other hand, if this vehicle is a pure EV with no engine, there isn’t much maintenance to do. Most mechanics will be able to make a visual inspection of the running gear. One thing they may not have is access to the diagnostic system and may not be aware of problems that are reported in the form of a DTC.
