2023 Q3 - November 14, 2025: Oil & Filter Change * Service Appointment - disconnect Originally scheduled for: Tuesday, November 4 @ 9:30 am I Rescheduled for: Friday, November 14 @ 1:00 o On October 30: I received an original appointment confirmation for Tuesday, 11/4 @ 9:30 o On October 31: I received 3 appointment confirmations: one for 11/7 at 11:30, a second one for 11/7 at 11:30, and a third for 11/14 at 1:00 o On November 3: I received an appointment confirmation for 11/4 at 9:30. I wrote back - no, this has been rescheduled for Friday, 11/14 o On November 9: Appointment confirmation for 11/14 at 1:00 o On November 13: Appointment confirmation for 11/14 at 1:00 Do I really need 7 appointment confirmations? * Service Appointment - disconnect November 14 @ 2:07 pm - message saying my Audi is overdue for a service visit and to click to schedule My car was already in there for service - don't they check their records? Brakes: Front 8m / Back 4m * Information Provided - disconnect When I arrived for my appointment, I told them - along with my oil change - that I also needed rear brakes and pads and that all 4 of my rotors are good, and I did not need an alignment. I previously had it to a very reputable mechanic for new tires and he told me exactly what was needed so I was well informed when I arrived. My Service Advisor came out and tried to sell me a package of all 4 brakes, pads, and rotors. I told him that I did not need front brakes, only the back ones and he said they recommend doing all 4 at once so I declined the service. o Do they always try to up-sell or was it because I was a woman? o When I got home I watched the video provided by the Technician working on my car and he recommended replacing the rear pads and rotors. o Where was the disconnect? o I have since had the rear brakes replaced by another reputable mechanic that I trust (and who also only charges $152/hr and it only took them 1.5 hours). Audi would have probably charged me double. * Service Almost Complete - disconnect I received a text message at 3:49 pm saying my service was almost complete. o I was already home sitting in my kitchen when I received this. * Email survey from Audi - never received * Service Reminder Indicator - I can't believe you charge people $65.70 to have this reset. How hard can it be to reset it? Of course you're going to have it done. I don't want to drive around for the next year with it telling me my car needs service. That should be a service you automatically provide to your customers. Needless to say, I am not (nor have I ever been) happy with Audi Service. The last time I was down there I told them not to wash the car. I just washed it and towel dried it the day before but it was done anyway. I feel like there's a total disconnect, I always feel like I'm not being listened to, I am being ripped off, and I am at the point where I just don't trust anything I am told. Each time I am down there I hear horror stories from other people waiting also. I have owned quite a few cars and have always relied on the dealership for the service needed and have been happy with the service provided. Audi Latham really needs to step it up! read more

Everytime I bring my car here it has to come back for a second time cause they never appropriately fix the problem in the first place. The service department is very careless. Paying $220 for a diagnostic fee when your service techs can't even properly diagnose an absurd. I can in in Oct 2024 for my sunroof draining into my overhead lights. They told me my drains needed to be emptied and never thoroughly looked at my car. Now there is a class act lawsuit against my car and I once again have to pay for the diagnostics which is wild considering there is a lawsuit and I was in a year ago for the exact issue. This should 100% be on Audi and not at my own cost. Absolute trash customer service read more

really really bad 8k to fix my car and boom left me in side the road cause they didn't know what they was doing

I have a 2020 Q3 with a leaky sunroof which is a known problem and covered by an extended warranty. Audi Albany is refusing to fix it because they can't recreate the leak in the shop. Despite the fact that they send videos of inspections and other repairs, they mysteriously did not take a video of this "test.". Not only did they not fix it during my May visit, they charged me $236 to run the test and still didn't fix it, despite the warranty. They have also ignored numerous phone calls and emails, even when my car was in the shop. Try the dealer in Pittsfield instead--the service can't be worse. read more

The service department, especially Dylan Clay. My service advisor goes above and beyond to make sure that I'm satisfied with what needs to be done maintaining a German car is expensive but with their suggestion of a maintenance plan, I am confident that my car will continue running in a matter, which makes me glad I leased it read more

Estimate labor to replace front right air shock was 3.5 to 4 hours on my 2018 S6 as per Audi guide which I thought was high to start with. Took 6 hours! Excuse was tech had trouble balancing front end and then in doing the alignment. Suspect he needs more training - or a push to work a little harder. At $219 per hour (!) feel I was overcharged and Audi still owes me $438. read more

Bought a 2019 Subaru legacy used back in February with 50k miles. I have driven it 5k miles so far but it already needs new brakes, rotors, wheel bearings, and control arms. I brought it in for issues with two leaking rear wheels after two weeks of owning it. It took two trips for them to identify the leaking rear wheels and repair them. It was sold to me in this state. I suppose it was my fault for trusting them when they told me that the road noise I was hearing during the test drive was the new tires. As part of the deal they were going to repair some scratches on the paint. Wishful thinking. Paint was just globbed on and most of the scratches weren't touched. Never again. Don't waste your time. They don't care about your satisfaction. read more

I replaced the battery myself so it needs reprogrammed the computer, I drove to the dealership, the rep. Told there is someone here next day to do it, then I called next day that someone told the technician take the car apart and still looking for the problem, can't even give me a estimate time for pickup, now I have going to rent a car to pickup my kids, so disappointed. Finally they have my car ready, thanks to Lucas read more

Many years ago I went to Albany Audi looking at a Q5. The salesman was rude and demeaning to me. I left saying I would rather buy anywhere else and I did. After many years I figured maybe it was just that salesman and I sent an inquiry on a vehicle off their site. Someone called me before 9 am and I had not given my number. Must have googled it so I give them credit for trying hard. I asked several questions which the woman said she would have someone get back to me. No one did. Late in the day sent a note asking again. Got an apology and promise again that someone would reach out. Waited another day and still no response. Sent one more not asking if the car was gone or what. Again a response that it was still available and someone would contact. Two days later nothing. I can only surmise that since I asked for the out the door price they didn't want to deal with me. I also noted in one review a buyer stated that there is a required fee for nitrogen in the tires. If that is true, be very wary since I have read that is a well known markup that adds no value and is used to pad profit by less dealers. Do the Research read more

Lily was once again my Service Advisor and as always ... fantastic! She had me processed in quickly. She kept me advised through text messages, calls and videos from the Tech on the status of our vehicle. I appreciate the hard work and professionalism the Albany Audi Center provides its loyal customers. read more

I feel like service departments can be a coin flip in terms of what you'll get but I had a great experience today. I should note that the visit started on a somewhat bad note. When I called for an appointment I said the car needed a 110k service (the service due light flicked on at 110k) and that I needed to wait for the car, but when I arrived the service person told me that 110k service isn't a suggested service but 115k service should be done instead which typically takes 3 1/2 hours. I wasn't ready for that so we talked through prioritizing different services. Once the car was on the lift it was suggested that the rear brakes be replaced and an alignment performed as well. I knew that I'd be driving a lot over the next few months and agreed to both. I was told it would take two hours to finish the job but it ended up being an hour and a half and came in slightly below the estimated cost. Faster service and lower cost!! The car is driving great; the alignment was definitely needed as I can feel the difference in the way the car drives. Finally, the waiting area is super clean, spacious and comfortable. If you need to wait a for a longer time there are several restaurants and big box stores (CVS, Lowes) close by so you can tick a few errands off your list while your car's being serviced. read more

It is with great pleasure that I give Albany Audi five stars. Everything about this dealership is professional and efficient. The staff are amazing. They are courteous, and they all know their Audis. It is always a pleasure to deal with them. Today I'd like to give a shout out to the service staff, particularly Tony and Jaime. I had a concern about a used A5 I just bought, and not even from them. Tony managed to get the car in almost immediately and fixed within a few hours. Jaime was kind enough to give me a lift to pick it up and engage in good conversation along the way. Can't say enough about both of them. And I would be remiss if I did not shout out Stephen, the best salesman ever! I would recommend this business to everyone, whether buying cars or servicing them. I consider myself lucky that this dealership is in my area. read more

Anisa, at Albany Audi, was kind enough to fit me in for a safety inspection for my Tesla Model 3. They were recommended by the Tesla service center (who don't do inspections) as a service center who are knowledgeable about Tesla vehicles. Though the appointment took longer than anticipated, it was understandable as they we fitting me into their busy schedule. The inspection was completed thoroughly and my vehicle was delivered to me nicely washed. Next time I plan to contact Anisa in advance to make an appointment so that the appointment goes quicker. read more

I found the service department very pleasant, yet remarkably unimpressive. Were they nice? Yes. Did they give me a loaner car? Yes. Did they keep me updated with what was going on? No, they did not. It became incumbent upon me to call to find out what was going on. After a week or so, it felt like I should have gotten my car back. I called to inquire and learned that there had been an issue with the insurance that was holding things up. Is this something that could have been mentioned to me days earlier? Yes. After two-something weeks I was told the car was ready. It took me nearly an hour to get there. When I arrived, I was told it actually wasn't ready because it had been "a crazy day." They still needed time to test the car to make sure everything worked. They tested the car. Guess what? Not everything worked. I drove an hour back. I was told that because of the inconvenience, they'd drop the car off at my house. Three weeks after my initial drop-off, they called to tell me the car was ready. The offer to drop it off had apparently been forgotten. I didn't make an issue of it because I just wanted my car. A day after picking up my car I realized that my not-inexpensive built-in radar/laser detection system was not working properly. I mentioned this to my service rep, who said he'd ask some questions and get back to me. Did he get back to me? No. No, he didn't. A week later I got a speeding ticket because my radar detector no longer detects radar. I contacted the service rep about it. Did he reply? No, he did not. Will I have my system repaired and send them the bill? Yes. Yes, I will. read more

I've been a repeat customer to Albany Audi since 2019. I've purchased two Q5's. While I love the vehicle, my recent service was very unpleasant. I made an appointment over the phone for an oil change. I was informed my 40k mile service due. So, I went ahead and scheduled it. (Wed 9/27) I was informed it was a five hour service and a loaner vehicle was provided. I was grateful for that. I live an hour away from the dealership and waited around running errands etc. Six hours later, I receive a text that said: " Hello. Everything is going well with the vehicle. We are currently unable to perform the transmission service due to Audi being down today. Would you be able to leave the vehicle with us while you stay in the loaner, and we can get it completed tomorrow for you?" I responded that I could go home with the loaner and return tomorrow but I was disappointed for the late notice I could have gone home sooner. He did apologize and said he notified me as soon as he knew. The following day I was texted ((9/28 7:35 am) and informed: "Good morning. When we came in this morning, Audi is still down. You can stay in the loaner and I will reach out to you as soon as we have more information. Very sorry for the inconvenience." That was the last of the texting communication. On Fri 9/29 I called the Service Manager, Craig, and was told by a young woman he wasn't at his desk, and she took my information to have him return my call. I've never heard from him. Fast forward to Mon (10/2) Still no call from the Service Manager. So around 2:00 pm I called my salesman. He was professional and apologetic. He said he would look into it. Two hours passed and I texted him asking if something was going on with my vehicle. Had they broke something, or damaged it? He texts me back and said my vehicle was ready. He said service had a record of texting me Thur 9/28 that my vehicle was ready and could be picked up. Unfortunately, I never received that text. So, from Thursday 9/29 to Monday 10/2 no one noticed my vehicle was still there and I hadn't returned the loaner? That's ridiculous. I went today and paid for the service and picked up my vehicle. The service person never said a word, never apologized for the miscommunication etc. That was disappointing. And, after the inconvenience I received, you would think they could have at least washed my vehicle like they usually do. I'm very disappointed & dissatisfied. I've never had a problem in four years with the dealership. Sadly, I don't foresee me purchasing another vehicle in the future. Service has declined substantially. read more

I would normally not write a review for a dealership. Any way, asides from the ridiculous repairs rates, the very good positive thing was the service specialist who was very professional and did not pressure me to do the repairs. I ended up taking my car elsewhere for better pricing. I would give him 5 stars and recommend him in case you are willing to be overcharged (by the dealer and not the CR service advisor). read more

Audi Albany - Car Dealers Near Me - Latham, New York

I've typically had great experiences her BUT this time... The first appointment, made via the online form, was confirmed via email but when I showed up there was no record of it even though I had my confirmation email. The service person didn't really seem to even care that it happened. I had to make a second appointment while I was there...that one went great. They dropped me off at my office and picked me up without issue. Beware of the online appointment booking. I've seen other comments along the same lines read more

purchased car from these guys paid cash didn't try to beat the salesman up on the price my daughter loved the car. so whe it was time to get my other day a car she wanted an Audi as well we were on a little tighter budget on this one so when they offered us less than Kelly blue book trade in value on a 2020 and they wouldn't budge we called Audi rutland they lowered the msrp price and gave us a fair trade in value I would recommend Audi rutland is was a drive for but worth dealing with someone reasonable read more

Brought my car there simply for a 4 wheel alignment, didn't get to my car until the following day when I had a scheduled appointment! Just to get a call sayin they couldn't do it and tried sending me a $4500 quote to fix things I've fixed in recent times. read more

Called to cancel an appointment for which I received email confirmation upon making the appointment. After waiting on hold for several minutes, I was told there was no record of my appointment. It is rare to see a business make so many errors on a consistent basis, as this is just one of many times this type of situation has occurred. Additionally, I bought a brand new car from this dealership in February and received ZERO follow up. Terrible customer service. read more

I purchased a used 2018 VW GTI from Igor and the entire transaction was the smoothest I ever had buying a car. Igor was great and delivered on every promise. The dealership is beautiful and everyone I worked with on the day I picked it up was polite and professional. They were efficient too, getting me in and out in about and hour and even getting me the registration within 2 weeks (versus having to reach out to check the status when the temp is about to expire.) If you're in the Albany area and looking for a new Audi or used anything they have, check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I love the service here. Since our local dealership closed, we have no choice but to drive all the way to Albany. John, the service technician, is kind and very good at communicating. This dealership is beautiful and has a comfortable waiting area but also offers loaners. I've had my car serviced twice and will be back. In fact I love the care that they showed my car so much that when I'm ready to buy my next Audi, I will come here. Both times I was given beautiful new Audis to drive as loaners so while I missed my car at least I had a top-quality car at my disposal for business and leisure. I always get my car back cleaner than when I brought it. I highly recommend Albany Audi. read more

I have never once had a negative experience with Audi Albany. I have been with them since back when they were Langan Audi East, and bought a 2010 Audi A4 in 2012. The process was smooth, the trade-in credit they gave me was even above market value, and the purchase process from start to finish was handled professionally. They even, at my request, removed the badging on the back and waxed and buffed the glue and grime off those areas, so it looked perfect upon my receiving the car (which came with a fantastic Certified Pre-Owned warranty). Then, in January of 2016, I purchased a brand new 2016 Audi S3, and the process from start to finish was once again a breeze. The salesman went through a full test-drive with me, and was knowledgeable and kind about answering my questions, so much so, that I simply put a deposit down on the car that day (even though I walked in unsure if I would buy a car at all). Since then I've had all my servicing done there. They give you an Audi as a loaner, go through everything each servicing entails, and even wash the car for you for free. The newly renovated service center is impeccably clean, and everyone I dealt with each time was kind, knowledgeable, and respectful during servicing. I really don't understand these negative reviews, as they've been nothing but professional and kind to me every time I've been there. They even gave me a free tire (and 19" tires ain't cheap my friends), an Audi embossed Continental ExtremeContact DWS06, because tires you buy from them come with free 12 month tire insurance, covering flats, nails etc. However, usually when you get a flat and they have to put on a new tire, they do charge just for the balancing, mounting, labor etc. They waived it all (a $90 savings) because they acknowledged that I was long-time loyal customer (who has spent a lot of money over the years there). I also had new brakes/rotors put on my 2016 S3 in January 2019, and they kindly threw in a $125 credit on the brake/rotor change, since the car was already there having its 65K service done. As an aside, when I bought my 2016 S3, I also bought the servicing package, which I was skeptical about at the time, but it has since proved to be well worth it, saving me thousands vs. paying for a service each time one was due (a major service without the package can run nearly $1,200 each without the package)!! Every single member of their service team could not be nicer, and the two salesmen I dealt with were also great. Both even gave me their personal numbers to contact them if I ever had questions. The salesman on my 2016 Audi S3 even called me out of the blue about 6 months after I bought the car just to make sure I was fully satisfied with everything. I've done servicing through a number of mileage checkpoints, as well as getting a new set of tires put on and brakes etc., and have always been fully satisfied. One or two good experiences might be outliers, but a dozen great ones are not. I recommend Audi Albany to all my friends interested in buying an Audi. read more

Capital Region, think twice before buying an Audi because you will need to come here for servicing and they are awful. Unpleasant every time. My advice is to either spend a little more for a Porsche or a little less for a Volkswagen. Either way, your service and maintenance will be more pleasant. I can't wait to get rid of my Audi and be done with this place. read more

Giving this establishment even 1 star is too generous. Poor , correction, no customer service, was able to walk in one side of building to other side and out into the parking lot without anyone greeting me. People were standing around as if you were at the deli waiting to take a number. A new building , same terrible service. The customer design is similar to the apple store. Unacceptable... need I say more? read more

Had the most lovely experience. Drove 3 hours to buy our car and Anthony was a pleasure to work with, did his very best to make sure we were well taken care of and got the best deal possible. The whole team, including Vinny and Nick (I think that was his name) were more then accommodating to make sure we left with a car that day. If we lived closer I would recommend this team to everyone. Really just a great car buying experience. read more

After dealing (or trying to deal) with this dealership i ended up buying my car 2 and half hours out of state from an Audi Dealership in Mass. They are historically rude here and I have heard my share of horror stories about their lack of concern for customers. I was actually told by a salesman "these cars sell themselves there are no other audi dealership close by so come back when youre ready to pay full sticker". Good luck. read more

Brought far in to get fixed, no lights were on and after bringing them my car several times, we ended up spending $3500 and all my lights are on that have something to do with the ABS. The management is poor and will take from honest hard working people and claim they did work for free but didn't even do the work we asked them and paid for at all!!! Don't bring your car here!! read more

My husband and I are from the Albany area but currently live in Boston. I had taken our A3 to Audi Peabody near us on a Wednesday after our tire kept losing pressure. After 10mins, the tech said he couldn't find any leaks or issues with the tire and just shut off the alert. I told him there had to be a nail or something because we filled it back up twice and still kept getting the alert. But he didn't listen and sent me on my way. Now it's Friday and we are driving to Albany to see some family for the weekend. Well, guess what? The tire pressure alert came back on! We drive straight to Audi Albany in Latham and they were absolutely amazing! Marcie was a DOLL! So nice, so professional and SO helpful! They were pretty busy, but she was able to get our tire looked at right away. Their tech ended up finding a nail! Like I had said! He was even able to plug it so we didn't end up needing an entirely new tire. We were in and out after about an hour. Marcie is the MVP! read more

Thank you Stacy! The servicing you provided was attentive, caring and outstanding. I want to really thank you, Angela T., and the rest of your team for providing great customer care while my car was being serviced. My thanks also goes out to your entire service team. Especially to shop foreman Tommy A., for personally handling situation and his team members, Jim B. Jr., Davon S-A, and one other team member who initially came out to meet me. His name I forget and feel terrible forget doing so. Thank you again Stacie for providing an excellent experience. Eric Sterling, Saratoga Springs, NY read more

No complaints, waited a little bit but I wasn't expecting to be in and out. The complimentary hot beverages are great to help pass the time.

Audi Albany broke a coolant return line on my S5 during a routine service (oil and plugs) resulting in a catastrophic loss of engine coolant shortly after the vehicle was returned. The original service included inspection of the coolant system ($829.84). Therefore, either the service work was not done or the work was done negligently. Audi Albany then refused to pay for their mistake and blamed it on the age of the vehicle. I would never recommend taking a car for service at this location. TL;DR - Dealership broke my car and made me pay for it. read more

They think THEY'RE doing YOU a favor. I drove 1.5 hours each way to see a car. I made a respectable offer...even came up a little before they countered. John comes out and shows me a national report to highlight just how cheap he can find my trade-in. Fair enough! So...I show him the same model Audi in Illinois for $2K less. He tells me, "Then go to Illinois!". I didn't punch him in the face, but the thought had crossed my mind. Maybe I should have?!? Apparently, he lacks the social skills. read more

These people are useless. I turned in a leased A3 that had end-of-lease repairs. I gave the staff the receipt from the collision shop and they said that they would make sure everything would be taken care of. Two months later I get a bill for $2000 to re-fix the repairs I just had performed at the body shop. They never handed the receipt over to Audi! Never lease from Audi and never deal with these people at Audi Albany. read more

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DEALERSHIP !!!!!!!!!!! Run as far from this place as possible. I have an Audi A4 and Audi keep bugging me to get the airbag replaced. Since I live 60 miles from any dealer and have Chronic MS, so my driving is limited to my immediate 15 miles. Audi arranged for me to have them pick up my car, return it and fix it for $100. I thought that was somewhat fair. When the car came back, the glove compartment , I used 3 days earlier, was broken and they never even called me. This is where they wentto fix the airbag. On the bill was written, glove compartment broken when it arrived. The service manager never called back as his assitant said twice, the GM, who I spoke with also never called back and refused any other calls. Too Far for me to go to sue, so I can only win, if someone reads this and goes elsewhere and posts it. Thanks HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PEOPLE. read more
