How do I know if my Audi A8 needs a transmission fluid change?

I recently purchased a used Audi A8 and I'm not sure if the previous owner has changed the transmission fluid. How can I check if it needs to be changed and where can I find a reliable mechanic to do the job?

As a general rule, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, it's always best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your Audi A8 year and model.

To check the transmission fluid, locate the dipstick under the hood and pull it out. Wipe it clean with a rag and then reinsert it. Pull it out again and check the level and color. Low fluid levels or dark/burnt fluid could indicate the need for a change.

When it comes to finding a reliable mechanic, word of mouth recommendations or online reviews can be helpful. I've had great experiences with a mechanic named Alex who specializes in Audi vehicles.
