I bought my Audi S3 for service in order to fix a recall - teammyaproject
I bought my Audi S3 for service in order to fix a recall on the car, the passenger airbag didn't work. Audi called me in order to schedule an appointment and get the airbag fixed, since I bought the car from them with the recall at the time of purchase a few years earlier.
I had to take a day off at work and drive down to Mission Vejo from LA. I was told the service would have taken the whole day, so I planned on spending the day in Mission Vejo with the courtesy car. Instead, as I dropped the car, they told me it would have been ready in a few days. Bummer.
In the end, I picked up the car after 2 days, drove back to LA, and realized the nothing was done on my car. The passenger airbag is still not working and the alert light is still on. A waste of time, money on gas and beyond.
On top of that, since I was there for the service, I thought it was a good idea to have a copy of the only key I had done by Audi. (yes, when they sold me the car I only received one copy).
I was told I had to pay $480 for the key, which I paid right away, and expecting to have the key done at the same time the service was done.
Once I picked up the car, the key was ready. They asked me an additional $280 for the key. When I asked why I wasn't told about this additional $280 to begin with, I was blasted with stupid excuses, such as - the $280 are for the key batteries and programming.
I would have much appreciated transparency and professionalism.
