I would like to start by saying I do not make it a habit of writing poor reviews or complaining about service or a business as I am a District Manager and always try to service my customer with RAVING FAN service. I was so floored by the way my wife and I were handled at Audi Stratham in Stratham, NH that I have to tell as many people as possible. I am still upset at the way we were treated. The short version: My wife and I have bought many cars and have always had GREAT sales service when doing so! I have recently had experienced amazing service from Joe at Ira Lexus, Rob at Hollaway mercedes, Cliff at Merrimack St Volvo and just last week, Kathleen at Audi of Nashua, NH. So I was expecting the same great experience at Audi in Stratham, NH since premium dealerships always pride themselves in great service... Well, that was not the case at Audi Stratham, NH. I walked into the showroom and was greeted by jeremy (who was in a rush cause they were so busy)... You know, he made it sound like those car commercials you see on TV with all the people in the showroom fighting for a car, but there were only a few people there with 3 sales people? Anyway, I asked to test drive an SUV that happens to be in high demand (audi Q5) and he proceeded to tell me how the car was almost sold, bla bla bla... So far so good, nothing out of the ordinary if you like pompous high energy salesmen (which I don't)...Anyway, jeremy got me into the SUV in record time which was fine. We tested the SUV and came back 15 mins later. Here is where the poor service starts. We get out of the SUV and another salesman, who is with another couple, charges at me with a very angry look and said "give me the key" in an angry tone. I handed him the key and went to see Jeremy, however he left a sour taste. Why was he mad at me? Did i take too long? Did jeremy take the key from him? Who knows? One thing I do know is you don't take your tone out on the customer, that's for sure! The SUV was stickered at $44,100 and it booked for $39,000 (fair market value) with all the same options and miles (it was a new car). Audi nashua had the same car with the same miles etc... except for a Nav system and they were selling it for $37,000... So I offered jeremy $40,000 which is a fair starting point. What does he do...you would think he would work with me as I was prepared to meet him halfway, which is still over priced... Well, no! He laughs and says $500 off is the best he can do, which is nuts. Way over priced for a 2011 Audi Q5 2.0 motor.... Its worth $39,000 to $40,000 tops! Then jeremy decides to get another salesman into the action to mock my offer rather than negotiating with me??? Are you kidding me? Aweful! If one of my managers or sales staff did that they would be out the door or on corrective actions. He made me feel aweful while they both got a laugh at my expense. As I left shortly after feeling embarrassed by his antics, he pokes his head out and makes it a point to comment on my tire and rim on my car which hit a curb and lost a small piece of rubber. I was fully prepared to purchase that car! safe to say, I will only deal with Audi of Nashua or an Audi dealer in MA going forward, even if it means I have to wait for a Q5 with a nav system. Please do yourself a favour and stay away from this dealer as the staff there that I delt with (except for John savard, who answers the phone. he was super nice) was nasty, mean, rude, crass and condesending...There are many Audi dealers in MA and NH that would love to sell you a car. I will be posting this on Facebook, Myspace and spreading the word as this was the worst feeling I ever had after a shopping trip of any kind! read more
