Scheduled an on line appointment clearing detailing my... - Audi Guy
Scheduled an on line appointment clearing detailing my issues with my AUDI A 8L, and asked for a loaner, since they would need to keep my car overnight to experience the "COLD START" issues I described. Got the last loaner of the day, because they never scrolled down to the end of the description.
Had my car overnight and even gave permission for the Tech to take my car to his home and drive it under different conditions. AMAZINGLY, NOT ONE OF THE ISSUES I DESCRIBED could be replicated. BUT.... They did offer to charge me about $150 for a $29 air filter, $250 to remove and replace my brake fluid that even someplace like MIDAS does for $89 to $99. Claimed my brakes were bad and my air filter in need of replacement, when IRONICALLY, I just had my brakes done 3 months / 3 K miles earlier and Replaced the air filter myself.
IF I had done everything they said, it would have been over $3000, of which, NOT ONE OF THESE THINGS would have fixed the issued I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR.
I got about a 20 page print out of all my detailed listing of everything I said need attention, and what they wanted to fix, but NOWHERE DID IT SAY what was wrong or why they couldn't find the issues I brought it in for. NO TECH NOTES, NOTHING !!! Several Issues I asked to be looked at were never even looked at.
It's like a revolving door at that place with Service advisors. I'v had 3 AUDI's and was using them exclusively for service, but NO MORE. HELMUT & VITO'S right down the street is at least 1/2 the price on any service and they use all the same parts.
SO SAD !!!!!!
