Absolutely love the car business being from the small town of Conway NC. Love the brand that I represent and my favorite Audi is the A7/RS7. It fits the personality of a huge Steeler fan like me.

Phenomenal Service, Guidance and Expertise! I visited the Cary Auto Dealership for yet ANOTHER service to my 2014 Audi Q7, which I purchased at Carmax less than 2 years ago. This time, the AC h I visited the Cary Auto Dealership for yet ANOTHER service to my 2014 Audi Q7, which I purchased at Carmax less than 2 years ago. This time, the AC had quit working on me. I had been driving around without air for nearly 2 weeks. I was fed up. My plan was to get the AC fixed and take it back to Carmax to see what they would give me for it and buy something else, but since I was already at the Audi dealership and have done business there for years, I decided to see what they could do for me first. I talked to the Sales Manager, Ed Vaughan, and explained what my predicament was and how I DID NOT want a car payment. I just wanted to trade the 2014 in and get something else that was equitable but newer that wouldn’t give me as much trouble as the Q7 I was driving. He said he understood and paired me up with Audi Brand Specialist, Johnnie Richards. Johnnie immediately pulled up three Q5s for me that he thought would work for me and we discussed each option. The first option seemed out of my price range so I immediately dismissed it. The other two seemed reasonable, so I entertained them as possibilities. We went outside to take a look at them. Neither of the two low-mileage Q5s in my price range turned out to be acceptable to me for different reasons, so we revisited the third that I had originally dismissed. This particular Audi had recently been significantly marked down in price, and Johnnie explained to me that with my trade-in, I’d be in a positive equity position if I purchased the vehicle. I never really thought about it that way. I was so busy worrying about having a car note that I wasn’t thinking about my equity position or the protection of a having a car warranty. I’m a Realtor, so I Drive for a living. I’m also a single mom, so I need reliable transportation. I was so happy Johnnie took the time to explain those points to me. To wrap up my day at Audi, Hugh Bodenstine, the Audi Business Manager, brought it all home by helping me make smart decisions on my add-ons. Believe it or not, those decisions are nearly as hard as choosing the vehicle itself because it requires you to “guess” about the future and then monetize. But what I really like and respect about Hugh (and everyone else at the Cary Audi Dealership) is he’s NOT a high-pressure salesman. He let me come to my own decision and allowed me the time I needed to make that decision. He answered my questions honestly and was very professional & Compassionate about my circumstances. All in all, it was the best car buying experience I have ever had! More

Ty was by far the best car salesman I’ve ever worked with. He was genuine, easy to talk to, and didn’t give me BS when he didn’t know the answer.

RS3-my new love! I had two Audis to begin with. an S5 and a Q3. I got some notifications regarding trading in my cars since they were wanted by others customers. I c I had two Audis to begin with. an S5 and a Q3. I got some notifications regarding trading in my cars since they were wanted by others customers. I called to get a ballpark offer and was pleasantly surprised. I gave Len a couple of ideas about what I was interested in and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. I got to the dealership, was greeted p[pleasantly by everyone and Len was standing by waiting for me. He had some keys all ready and we started our test drives within 5 minutes. I was able to drive exactly what I was looking for. By the time we were done, my trade offers were solid and we began the purchase process. I got glass coat, which was applied while I waited and from the time I walked in the door to the time I left in my new car, Simonize and all, was around 5 hours. The whole thing was fun, efficient and professional. I highly recommend Len, Brian, Hugh and Ed to anyone looking for a new Audi. More
