I have had the worst experiences with Audi. The service department continued to not make proper repairs to my vehicle for over a year. They gave me back my car on more than one occasion worse than what I took it in for & quoted me pricey quotes to make "additional repairs." I received an invoice where they attempted to charge me up to 3X the amount that they charged for parts listed on their own website & an outside company. Some of the parts came back as not fitting on my car & the oil they put in stated discontinued. I went in to get my latch fixed on my door & once they found out I had a warranty, they told me I needed a timing chain, all though the car ran fine. While replacing my timing chain I was refused multiple times for a loaner. When I finally got my car back, it ran horribly, I called them as I drove down the Dodge Exp. I tried driving the next day & it went into limp mode and was shaking and rattling violently(can't drive over 40mph w/o damaging the engine). I called Audi & asked them to tow it back there. I was told they don't have tow trucks & I would have to tow it back myself, which I did. They called me & said it would be over $4,000 repair, that the warranty did not cover, oil was leaking in the cylinders. I got the owner involved, she made them give me a loaner & offered to cover the cost for the "additional repair," if I pay for the parts. Only because I kept going back & forth, their notes had been changed in the system & she was able to see this. That's when they gave me an invoice for the parts, I looked them up & discovered what I said above abt being overcharged. I requested that they redo the timing chains & rods & pistons & the cam bridge seal gasket, because the timing chain guide they put on the first time did not fit my car according to their site, probably why it rode so horribly & went into limp mode. She paid for it after negotiating. Once they replaced the radiator in the summer & took forever. I was driving my other vehicle, but the air didn't work well. I asked for a loaner then, explaining to them that my daughter & I have asthma and can't be in the heat for long. They did not care was refused one then too. They took an extremely long time fixing my car. It is an Audi A8L, when I met w/ the owner one of the first things that came out her mouth was that I had the most expensive car that they sell. She even questioned me & asked why did I bring my car to them for repairs. Doesn't surprise me, the first time I went there to get service on my vehicle, I went & was looking at the show room floor for about 20 minutes, looking at price tags & the cars. They glanced at me and kept going as if I was invisible. Never once asked if I needed help. They didn't know I was having a car serviced there. I mentioned it to the service advisor & of course he goes & gets the black salesman to come & talk to me. I am black also & they treated me horribly. The owner got mad at me for telling her that I believe her staff is racist and began berating me & belittling me over the phone. This isn't even all of the atrocities that I experienced with them, just some. Recently the cam bridge seal some how was leaking oil in two cylinders of the car again, so it was misfiring and idling roughly. SLM diagnosed it & asked if I wanted them to repair it, I told them no, the Audi dealer did this less than a year ago, so it should be covered under their warranty. I took it to Audi for them to tell me it was running fine when they test drove it and no oil was in any of the cylinders. I knew they were lying & went to see. I was shown the wrong cylinders by the advisor & found a piece of broken plastic, just as I did when they claimed I needed a timing chain. Was told the ignition connectors were broken & that was the problem. Audi's Mechanic came over & showed me different cylinders & 2 plugs & told me 6 & 8 were leaking oil in them, just as the other place had said. Got the car back finally from Audi, only for it to be leaking oil significantly. They called & emailed me telling me after they fixed the cam bridge seal gasket & said I needed a fuel injector for cylinder 8 & it would cost over $1300.00. Never mention my car leaking oil. I told them no, that I would get a second opinion from somewhere else. They gave my car back on E and in the red, although I did not drop it off on E. Got it to SLM, for them to tell me the fuel injector was fine & the oil leaks came from two valves, which were not leaking prior to going to Audi. Audi agreed to pay for SLM to make the repair, after I had the BBB get involved, but not before sending me a nasty email & they only paid part of it. I've been nothing but nice & professional to them and have the proof of everything that I put in this review. Email me for the rest of the stories, Harrisannette143@gmail.com.
