I started in the service automotive industry in 2000 and I have over 25 years of experience helping customers with their vehicles during and after the sale. I would love nothing more than to assist you in some way when you come in to purchase a new or used vehicle, and of course when you are in for service. Feel free to ask if you have any issues or questions.

Carlos was rude, condescending, and unprofessional. After I got the “underinflated tire” warning on the way home from having my car serviced, I called Audi service and got Carlos. That warning light se After I got the “underinflated tire” warning on the way home from having my car serviced, I called Audi service and got Carlos. That warning light seems to come on every time Flemington Audi works on my tires, so I asked if he could make a note to put more air in next time. He said if it was my “feeling” that the tires were underinflated, he could do that, but the “fact” was that it was cold last night, and the temperature difference must have tripped the sensor. When I suggested he might want to avoid calling a customer’s opinion a feeling and his own opinion a fact, he just went off and started yelling at me. Yelling. I am not exaggerating. I later checked and found one underinflated tire. So not only did Carlos bully me, but his so-called fact was nonsense. Negligent service, verbal abuse when you point it out – these are not a formula for customer satisfaction. After trying for some time, I did get a callback from the service manager, Chris Short. He was clearly trying to help, but he could have handled the call in a more productive way. Here’s what I mean. Chris told me there was a recording of my call with the service rep. He said he would listen to the recording and, if he decided it merited any action, he would take care of it internally. In other words, I would never know the result. This is backwards. He should have listened to the recording BEFORE calling me. What I needed to know was whether Flemington Audi management condones aggressive, intimidating behavior by a male service rep toward a female customer. If he didn’t find that behavior offensive, I would know never to take my car there again. And if he did, I could have some confidence that the bullying was limited to one bad apple rather than the whole business. Chris did apologize, but it was a “sorry if you were offended” apology rather than “sorry for the unacceptable behavior.” The latter would have kept my family as customers. More

I had a great experience working with Audi Flemington, but they are over an hour away from me. I purchased my car from them, and when it arrived, it had some very minor damage from factory. As part of the but they are over an hour away from me. I purchased my car from them, and when it arrived, it had some very minor damage from factory. As part of the purchase, it was agreed that they would fix it. They initially ordered the wrong part, which wasted my time driving back there to get it fixed. They took full responsibility and worked with me to accommodate the situation. They ordered the correct part and coordinated with me to pick up my car and drop off a loaner. While the repair took longer than expected, they kept me informed almost daily, which was the most important thing for me. In my experience, the Audi dealerships near me are terrible at giving updates or getting to someone who can tell you what’s going on. They also feel very pretentious, and that you have the money to just pay for anything they tell you. As soon as they get your money, it is like they don't care anymore. Audi Flemington is the opposite of that. They want to make sure services are done right, and that everything is communicated even if some things are fully out of their control. Carlos went above and beyond AND above beyond taking care of my car and making sure I was updated regularly. He rocks! I bugged him almost daily, but he never showed any frustration and was always willing to talk to me. While Audi Flemington is so far from me, I would still consider taking my car for service there just because of the experience. The Audi dealerships by me have always left me with a bad experience apart from certain individuals who seemed to care more. More
