Took my car in mid-August to get a routine service check - Gabehockey1210
Took my car in mid-August to get a routine service check in preparation for a trip. Didn't think much of it while I was waiting, hoping to get oil changed, engine checked out, basic stuff. Turns out my engine has a small oil leak that was detected by a service member. Told that it would be handled as part of the service. Was also asked if I wanted to replace my brakes, but seeing as the price was in the thousands(!) of dollars, I declined. So I go to check out and see a bill for hundred of dollars (don't want to get into specific amounts here). Tough pill to swallow, but for fixing an oil leak, it's justifiable.
Two days later, I get a warning light about my oil being below minimum level. This was strange since I had just had the oil change done and the oil leak fixed. I tolerated it for the trip but when I got back home, I wanted to get it looked at.
I bring my car back to Audi Dublin as a follow-up and am told that the oil leak was not fixed in the previous service. It would cost an extra thousand dollars and more. Keep in mind: this now meant I paid multiple hundreds of dollars for a service check and an iffy oil change.
Took my car to another service provider and got a routine oil change. As part of that oil change, I was given a report saying that my oil level pre-change was indeed below minimum levels. And for context, this other provider charged under $70 for an oil change. Audi Dublin charged in the hundreds for an oil change that wasn't even performed (or if it was, done incredibly poorly).
Obviously, I made a formal complaint with Audi customer service for a reimbursement. Not only was I not contacted by the Audi Dublin service provider after leaving multiple voicemails, all I was told by the customer rep was "service was done, no reimbursement". Service was indeed NOT done, but here we are.
I am now out hundreds with a car in a condition that would've been the same had I avoided Audi Dublin to begin with. Do not come here if you want efficiency, quality, or good service. If you have the world's largest disposable income, go for it.
In capitalism, you exchange money for goods and service. In this case, I gave money and received no service, in fact the poorest service. I hope Audi Dublin makes it right by me by giving me my money back. But for now, they can enjoy this poor review and a complaint filed with the Attorney General of Ohio.
