Audi A4 headlight bulb replacement

Had some good service off a local Audi dealer this week. Headlight bulb went Sunday night. Discovered off the net (VWAUDI forum) how to change the bulb, normally competent to do this kind of job myself. But thought as it was freezing cold, dark outside, didn't have the right sized Torq screwdriver, had to remove a couple of bits to get at 2 of the screws, might be a bit difficult etc etc. Rang the local dealer Monday morning - what do you charge? £6 was the answer! When? Sorry, tomorrow is the earliest! Couldn't believe it and it took them over 20 mins to do the work. They certainly weren't making any profit on that job. Asked them why, to be told we know it is a difficult job these days to change bulbs so we try and make a realistic charge.
As I am currently considering changing my car, another Audi is top of the list, especially as that is the first job other than routine servicing in 5 years.
