The Audi Connection

In for 75,000 service. Car in at 9am, picked up about 5pm. Basic service (no brakes, no tires, no major engine or drive train work). Oil change, spark plugs, V belt. Bill w Car in at 9am, picked up about 5pm. Basic service (no brakes, no tires, no major engine or drive train work). Oil change, spark plugs, V belt. Bill was just under $1,200 (and that was with 15% discount offer). Have owned Lexus, BMW and Chevrolet vehicles. SHOCKED at the amount for simple service. Service advisor tried to say he had gone over charges when I dropped off the car.B.S. NEVER AGAIN AUDI!!! I should have known better than buying anything from The Joseph Group. More

I have just spent the entire day going to dealerships. But before I could rest, I had to check on an Audi I had just seen online. When I arrived at the "Audi Connection" with my family, I was excited t But before I could rest, I had to check on an Audi I had just seen online. When I arrived at the "Audi Connection" with my family, I was excited to see what might just be the car. It took a while to get helped, the two sales people I could see were at their desks. The watched us come in, but kept quiet. We decided to wait for one of them to be free. About 5 minutes later, one gentleman (tall, thin, older) slowly made his way over. Vey slowly. "Can I help you with anything...?" he said in an annoyed tone. I explained I was about to make a purchase, and we came to see a vehicle they had listed online - a Q8 Prestige. "We don't have anything like that" he stated flatly. I explained it was listed as being on the lot. He said that if it was listed, it was listed as "In Transit". He explained that "In Transit" did not mean "On The Lot". I pulled out my phone, showing him the listing. "On The Lot" it said. He said I must have the website up for another dealer. I showed him where it said "Audi Connection". "Oh, I see - You're looking at the Q5, not the Q8." I showed him that it indeed did say Q8. "I'll check on in the system," he said, slowly walking away. I told him we would wait for him outside. 10 minutes later, he came out. He explained that the car was supposed to be there this week, but that it had not arrived. He thanked me for stopping by, and went back inside. He never gave us his card, nor even his name. He never asked for my name or info, and he never offered to call when the vehicle came in. When I went there tonight, I carried with me the title and extra key for my current vehicle. I also had my checkbook. These are items that the "Audi Connection" will likely never see. Because they are not interested. They apparently have enough sales already. More

For the past 11 years, I have been servicing my Audi A4 at The Audi Connection (formerly Joseph Audi). My last service visit was very disappointing. I called a week in advance to schedule my A4 for a routi at The Audi Connection (formerly Joseph Audi). My last service visit was very disappointing. I called a week in advance to schedule my A4 for a routine service and asked for a loaner car. The service department told me that should not be a problem. I drive over two hours to have my car serviced and expected genuine customer care. I did not receive this. In fact, my sister (who was with me at the time) said she had better service at the local Pep Boys. Upon dropping my car off, I told Lee in the service department, that I needed a new pair of wind shield wipers and reminded him I requested a loaner car. Assuming that I would get one of the six Audi loaner cars parked out front, I was told I needed to wait until the Enterprise guy came from down the street. I don't understand why I was not given an Audi loaner when I scheduled my car a week in advance. My sister and I were inconvenienced by the wait, paperwork, and inspection of the rental car during the pouring down rain. When I came and picked up my car I asked Lee if they put my wind shield wipers on. He commented that wipers were not included in the type of service I had done unless I specifically requested them. I told him I had requested them- the first thing I told him when I arrived! I went to pay for my service and the cashier said he had not even written down my request. I handed her my Audi discount card they sent me in the mail and she said they already discount the wipers and I would not be permitted to use the card. Why do they send out discount cards for service and parts if they do not honor them? Needless to say my wipers cost $54.00. The cashier reminded me that labor of the wipers would have been another $50.00 to have them installed! Luckily, I was not charged for this service. I would not recommend anyone to go here. I plan on finding another Audi dealer for service. This is upsetting to me, since I have been a loyal costumer for a long time. More

I believe this is my first poor online review of any service. I was interested in purchasing an Audi Q5. I had secured my own financing for the purchase. I was offered a reasonable price on a service lo service. I was interested in purchasing an Audi Q5. I had secured my own financing for the purchase. I was offered a reasonable price on a service loaner and decided to move forward with the purchase. Mr. Anthony was so rude and unprofessional that I opted to leave and not do business with him. He seemed greatly put out and kept mentioning that he'd have to "jump through hoops" to use my financing rather than their own. He even hung up on my bank's representative. The final straw was when he started writing on MY check from MY bank before we had any deal. This was the worst car buying experience I've ever had. Actually, probably the worst customer service experience in general. In the end I guess I should thank Audi Connection. Because the very next day I purchased a beautiful new vehicle from another dealership. Much better experience. Much better financing. And a kind professional sales representative. I even like the car better. I could never recommend Audi Connection to anyone. Horrible. More

Just Purchased my 2011 Audi A5 Premium Plus! My experience with Greg Meyer has simply been amazing. His sales style is unique and one of a kind. Greg was very knowledgeable, non-pushy, and best of experience with Greg Meyer has simply been amazing. His sales style is unique and one of a kind. Greg was very knowledgeable, non-pushy, and best of all, an Audi enthusiast. I was in the market shopping around for an A5. I do not live in Ohio and explained to Greg that I was out of state. I flew in, he picked me up an hour away from the dealership, and had the paperwork all ready to go. I was in and out of the dealership in 2 hours. Overall, what a wonderful experience! Highly Recommended! More

Tried to arrange a service for few times, and finally got to hold a loaner car, and I was told it will be an Audi loaner. Went to the dealership on the date of my appointment, I was told, they were out of Au to hold a loaner car, and I was told it will be an Audi loaner. Went to the dealership on the date of my appointment, I was told, they were out of Audi Loaner, so that they had to put me in an Enterprise rental (a Ford Focus or smiliar). I did not have time to agrue, so that I said ok. While I was waiting for my rental to show up, 3 different customers came after me, and they all got Audi loaner, an A6, a Q5, and an A5. I went back in and ask my service manager, what was going on. I was told "they had to offer Audi loaner to their potential customers first", and their sales department refused to offer me one. I took my 2006 S4 for service, and I was treated like 2nd classes customer. I was pissed and told them to get my car back, and then I went to different dealership where I can be treated like other customers. I would never go to Audi Connection for anything, will definitely not recommand anyone to go there. More

Made appointment for service and booked a Audi loaner, was told all good. when I arrived, I was told no available loaner, so that they had to give me a rent car. While I was waiting for my rent car, 3 oth was told all good. when I arrived, I was told no available loaner, so that they had to give me a rent car. While I was waiting for my rent car, 3 other customers pull up for service and they all got a Audi loaners, which pissed me off and then I asked the service consultant what was going on. and then I was told those where "potential customers". I love Audi, but the customer service really turns me off. My next car would probably be a BMW or MB only because Audi has the worst customer service among other German brands. More

The caliber of service we have experienced recently was disappointing at best and I would definitively not recommend the Audi Connection. Fiancée purchased a 2005 A6 new from Audi Connection, all maint disappointing at best and I would definitively not recommend the Audi Connection. Fiancée purchased a 2005 A6 new from Audi Connection, all maintenance through AC. Took the car in on three separate occasions for issues with the camshaft while the car was under warranty. While some repairs were made in the first instance was met, the problem was not resolved and necessitated a second and third visit. The second and third visits were diagnosed as "don't worry about it," and followed with "we can't hear the noise;” dismissive phrases with no resolution. The car is now out of warranty and the issue is increasingly problematic. Upon calling twice in the past two weeks for service, much detail was given as to how busy and booked the service team was and that it would be over a week before an appointment would be available. An over the phone diagnosis resulted in a $4k timing chain replacement. The car has 47k miles; while I’m not a trained professional, it’s reasonable to say 47k miles is on the early side for this repair. Car repairs are distressing for everyone - the last thing a customer wants to hear when faced with a malfunctioning car and a large repair bill is a diatribe on how incredibly inconvenient it is for the customer to bring the car in (for a fourth time, and now with costs out of pocket) to your service team. As part of purchasing an Audi (or any luxury brand), you pay for experience. We simply expected better; perhaps with acknowledgement of a problem, an apology for the inconvenience or anything close to solution-oriented. Overall, we’re disappointed and had any acknowledgement or apology occurred from the service team, our decision may have looked differently. We’re now stuck with a problem that should have been fixed nearly a year ago, while under warranty, and will no longer have our vehicle serviced by and nor would we purchase future vehicles from Audi Connection.
