My name is Mike Rakowski. I am a Senior Audi Brand Specialist / Fleet Specialist at Audi Coral Springs. I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I went to Northwood University in West Palm Beach Florida to pursue a degree in the Automotive Business. My time in Florida was supposed to be for 9 months (one semester) as the Canadian Automotive School I attended has an agreement to finish at Northwood. Essentially I jumped right to my senior year. I have now been living here in Florida for well over a decade, I never went back! After graduating in 2004 with my Bachelors of Business Administration majoring in Automotive Marketing/Management I started with Audi. I have been at this dealership ever since. I am proud to be a part of the team at Audi Coral Springs, and the Audi Brand. I look forward to many great years of continued growth into the future.

My first Audi and first experience at Coral Springs Audi was when a friend of mine decided to get his A4 cab traded in for an A5. I had my eyes on an A6 for some time. When I stopped in to spend time with m was when a friend of mine decided to get his A4 cab traded in for an A5. I had my eyes on an A6 for some time. When I stopped in to spend time with my friend, I talked to Gina about a pre-owned one on the lot. She took me out for a test drive. I enjoyed it very much. Gina was very helpful, however it just wasn't meant to be. Several weekends later while out shopping with other friends, I decided to stop by again this time to check out a new S4. We met Mike Rakowski on the show room floor when he greeted us. I suppose I had fallen in love with that gleaming Estoril Blue Crystal S4 just feet away from Mike's desk because I kept thinking about it while Mike spoke accolades about the car. It was clear he was more than a sales person, he's an owner, and a fan. We took an S4 out for a test drive fully loaded (including 4 friends). Mike's exceptional knowledge of the car enhanced my appreciation for Audi's technical advances. I understood (and felt) what he meant when the S4 changed characteristics between COMFORT and DYNAMIC modes. Mike's enthusiasm, the experience of the drive (under full load) and beauty of the design sold me. I also appreciated Mike's non-pressured approach. He was systematic and methodical. He worked not just with me, but with my friends/advisors who had come with me that day. I felt he genuinely wanted to ensure that I had a good experience. Mike also keeps in touch with me, ensuring that any questions were answered promptly. I really appreciated his relaxed, non-pressured demeanor, wealth of knowledge and genuine love for Audi cars.

This is the best Dealership experience I have ever had. Mike pretty much fought for my business with every ounce of customer service he could muster - I have never felt valued as a customer as much as duri Mike pretty much fought for my business with every ounce of customer service he could muster - I have never felt valued as a customer as much as during this experience - he's the best! Jim gave me great advice and was able to save me heaps of $$ as well. If the rest of the staff are half as good as these guys, then this is the best dealership in FL! More

Although this was only my 2nd time purchasing a car at Audi Coral Springs, I was very surprised that EVERY salesperson I dealt with remembered me 2 years later. Everyone at the dealership was very person Audi Coral Springs, I was very surprised that EVERY salesperson I dealt with remembered me 2 years later. Everyone at the dealership was very personable. Mike Rakowski helped me with the purchase of my 2013 Audi A4. He is very knowledgeable and took into consideration everything I asked for before showing me cars. With that being said, he was able to put me into a car that I wanted and at an affordable price! I highly recommend if you are considering an Audi that you stop by and see him. More

I am about to purchase my 5th vehicle from Audi, through Mike, and based on the sales process during my first four purchases, I expect it to be stress-free. My last purchase was an A7 and although I had ord Mike, and based on the sales process during my first four purchases, I expect it to be stress-free. My last purchase was an A7 and although I had ordered an A8, Mike thought that I should at least consider the A7, based on what he knew about me and my driving preferences. It is not often that a sales exec will try to convince a customer to purchase a less expensive vehicle than the one he had already ordered. Must be the "nice Canadian" in him! Certainly a sign that he knew me as a customer and was more concerned with matching me with the correct vehicle. My RS5 arrives in a couple of weeks, so looking forward to a new driving experience.

We were out of town internet buyers. Mike had more product knowledge that any other Audi sales person I had spoken to. He clearly knows his Audis and when he couldn't answer a technical point from mem product knowledge that any other Audi sales person I had spoken to. He clearly knows his Audis and when he couldn't answer a technical point from memory he quickly sent me a web link that did. He made my transaction as smooth as possible and even recommended a sensational Boca Raton fish restaurant for us after we took delivery. More

Mike was knowledgeable and curtious. He fully explained the A8 as well as possible in 3 hrs. I didn't plan on buying that day but his congenial approach and the dealerships crying need to sell a car by mo the A8 as well as possible in 3 hrs. I didn't plan on buying that day but his congenial approach and the dealerships crying need to sell a car by month's end swayed me. I don't like the "sales process" of multiple people but your staff did it to perfection. I have high expectations of the dealership in the years to come. More
