Scratched car and quoted $1,500 too much for work Issue 1: After taking my car in for some work, I noticed a thumb nail sized scratch on the front of my car. Immediately informed Audi Palo Alto who ca Issue 1: After taking my car in for some work, I noticed a thumb nail sized scratch on the front of my car. Immediately informed Audi Palo Alto who came out to look and said words to the effect that it wasn't them, they would take no responsibility, etc. This was despite the car being immaculate and their own check-in sheet showing no defects. Escalated to the CEO, asking for a new replacement part. They offered a touch up. I declined since the part they damaged is metal with a plastic coating. Also asked about the cost of the part. No reply. In my opinion you replace parts when the car is low mileage, immaculate, and worth $70K. Even more so when you irritate the customer. Issue 2: Audi Palo Alto originally quoted $3,000 for the repair. I researched the cost of the parts and Audi's recommended job time online and determined the quote should have been $1,500. Verified this with an independent garage and asked Audi Palo Alto to revise the quote, which they did. If you have any doubts, ask for parts numbers and do this type of research. More

Don't service your Audi in Palo Alto if you expect service Terrible customer service. The "service advisors" obviously hate their jobs and don't want to deal with customers, ignoring the line of people waiting Terrible customer service. The "service advisors" obviously hate their jobs and don't want to deal with customers, ignoring the line of people waiting to leave or pick up their cars and ignoring questions. PLUS, even though you give them a short list of concerns, they ignore the list and lie about things being fixed (i.e. no wiper fluid, warning lights still on, inaccurate assessment of tires and brakes. . .) Gave them 3 years to clean up their act but no luck. Liked my Audi but hated the service so traded it in on a BMW. If you live on the peninsula, take your Audi over the bridge for service or sell it.

Their promise of a hand wash after service was not very well done...had to have the car detailed after I returned home . Only good news was they provided a loaner car. Compared to other Audi service departments...these guys have a long way to go. More

Everyone was great and helpful except one employee I came to this dealership looking to become a new member of the Audi family. Denis was my initial salesperson and unfortunately it was not a good expe I came to this dealership looking to become a new member of the Audi family. Denis was my initial salesperson and unfortunately it was not a good experience. He seemed to be disinterested and standoffish. Once in his office, I described to him the confusion when he gave me a retail value of the vehicle that was different than the retail value on the official website. After stating that I felt the different values were misleading, he proceeded to get very agitated and felt "uncomfortable" with the fact that I felt two different values were misleading. We were given another salesperson and the rest of the experience was amazing. Denis I would give 1 star, the rest of the experience 5 stars. More

Terrible terrible service! My car had a safety recall for the fuel pump flange. I scheduled an appointment for the repair 10 days in advance using their online scheduling system My car had a safety recall for the fuel pump flange. I scheduled an appointment for the repair 10 days in advance using their online scheduling system. I specified the repair and the safety recall number. Up until the day of the appointment I got three appointment reminders. When I showed up at the appointment the guy tells me they don't have the part for the repair and I'll have to come back another time. Thanks for wasting my time! More

Holiday Wishes Come True with a Great Surprise & Experience! I just purchased a vehicle from Audi Palo Alto as a surprise for my wife for the holiday.

Radek from the sales team was terrific and a pleasure to work with during the entire process. I was looking at quite a few vehicles from across the state and country, but Radek & team were simply terrific. They went out of their way to drive and deliver the car 45 minutes away on the same day so I could surprise my wife with the car, AND THE FAMILIAR RED BOW ON THE CAR! Great experience, highly recommend team Radek and Audi Palo Alto! More

No Loaner Available Despite Scheduled Appointments Twice, I've scheduled an appointment to bring my audi in for service. Twice they've promised to have a loaner car available. And twice they have told Twice, I've scheduled an appointment to bring my audi in for service. Twice they've promised to have a loaner car available. And twice they have told me, only after I drove 40 mins to get there, "we're out of loaner cars." How about not promising cars when they're in limited supply, or calling people to tell them you're out when you know they're on the schedule? How about, "we're sorry for wasting a significant chunk of your day, how can we make it up to you."? You're not doing me a favor by agreeing to service my car. I'm doing you why by patronizing your business, something I plan to avoid in the future. More

Defective brakes brushed off as customer wear and tear issue Brakes started shuddering/vibrating on my 2014 A6 around 10K miles, so I figure I'll deal with it when I go in for my 15K service. The dealership c Brakes started shuddering/vibrating on my 2014 A6 around 10K miles, so I figure I'll deal with it when I go in for my 15K service. The dealership confirms there's vibration and tells me: "All of your brake components look brand new with expected minimal wear, but we did notice the vibration unrelated to any wear. Unfortunately, since you brought the vehicle in after the 12K warranty limit, we're not going to resolve the brake defect. Would you like a brake service for $1200?" "We don't fix wear and tear components." "But you just said the brakes have no wear on them. They're brand new still." "Yes, but the problem came up after the 12K warranty period." "But this is clearly not a wear and tear issue and the brakes are defective." "Sorry, we can't help. Do you want to pay to fix the defect yourself?" Audi USA isn't much better. Telling me to take it up with the dealer. Great customer service on a $70K vehicle. More
