Open Road Audi of Manhattan

It is astounding that there exists so much as one positive review for this dealership. Any educated consumer should expect more, particularly when spending such a notable sum of money. The luxury car positive review for this dealership. Any educated consumer should expect more, particularly when spending such a notable sum of money. The luxury car buying experience should be dramatically different than that which Audi Manhattan offers. They must sell an extraordinary amount of cars here because their arrogance and indifference toward potential customers is literally shocking. For this reason, I will be making any Audi purchase from a different dealer, that is, if I can stomach the brand after my brief Audi Manhattan experience. The staff is seemingly unmotivated and unapproachable, and could not be less helpful. More

Shopping for a new car and narrowed my choices between BMW or Audi. Service and convenience was an important factor on my decision. After test driving the R8 I have decided that was the right choice for BMW or Audi. Service and convenience was an important factor on my decision. After test driving the R8 I have decided that was the right choice for me. The dealership was new and the staff very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. It was surprisingly easy to speak to senior managers at Open Road. It's been my experience that most dealerships give you the run around and sales people care more about making a sale than my concerns. My experience with Open Road Audi of Manhattan was refreshing and enjoyable. The "senior" manager Steve even took the time to thank me for considering them. My experience with Audi of Manhattan has earned them a loyal customer hopefully for some time to come. More

This was my first time at this dealership, let alone buying my first luxury car. Steve was very patient with me and really took time to assess what style of car would be fit for my taste and lifestyle. buying my first luxury car.

Do yourself a favor and please DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP! The Audi product is impeccable but the people at this dealership are the most incompetent, arrogant, rude and unprofessional group of pe DEALERSHIP! The Audi product is impeccable but the people at this dealership are the most incompetent, arrogant, rude and unprofessional group of people that I have ever dealt with in my entire life. When my husband and I walked into this dealership, not one person approached us. We waited about 20 minutes before we sought someone out. This employee responded that he was “just the service department.” He did not get a sales person for us, he did not ask what we needed. Finally a man came to us that could barely speak English. He did not ask our name, he did not state his name. He could not answer our questions and could barely articulate a point clearly. He stood there making us feel that he would rather be anywhere but speaking with us. We left feeling discouraged and highly disappointed. I then proceeded to call this facility the next day to express my dissatisfaction with the service. I was told that the manager was with a client and that I could hold if I wanted. I asked how long I would need to wait and the woman said “about 30 minutes.” 30 minutes on hold? I opted to not hold and have the manager call me back. When Joe Tribble who is the sales manager called me back, he did apologize for my experience and proceeded to speak of how amazing the Quattro engine was and that both of his sisters have the vehicle. I did not to be informed about how amazing the car was, that was why I sought out Audi in the first place. What I needed was a bit of service recovery. He then called my husband to apologize. My husband asked him to provide him with some quotes of prices of cars that were in stock. Joe Tribble never called him back. We were shocked. We were practically BEGGING to buy a car from Audi and this is how we are treated? I proceeded to look on the website and found the cellphone number of the General Manager Tom Seifert. I called him and left 2 messages. We ended up speaking and he was apologetic. We set up a time to meet him and test drive the Audi Q7 that we were interested in. When we met him and drove the car, we knew we had wanted it. We talked options and numbers. Initially we thought he was giving us a better deal due to our horrific experience but I believe that we paid what anyone else would have paid. After he ordered the car for us, nobody from Audi ever called us again. My husband called for updates, questions and concerns. Tom pushed us onto anyone else but himself. We dealt with Joe Tribble again who never called my husband back in the first place and a man named Chester Savage. We ordered a fully loaded Audi Q7 and explained to Tom that we had one 19 month old child and one on the way and a rear entertainment system would be great so that they could watch TV. We could not see any brochures as the dealership was “out of them.” After my husband made numerous calls to Audi repeatedly, we were told that our car would be in on December 29. We did not receive any calls that day or updates on the car. December 31 my husband called again and reached Chester. Tom was not in any of these days nor did he call us with status updates. Mind you, this is a $66,000+ car that we are buying and the Audi “professionals” are unresponsive. My husband speaks to Chester at 12:45pm and he states that the car came in that morning and will be ready at 2pm. We arrive at 2:20pm and Chester is helping a disgruntled potential client. He tells us he will be right with us. It is now 2:50pm, I am 8 months pregnant, starving and sitting here waiting for our car on New Year’s Eve. As we are waiting, I am hearing another Audi “professional” YELLING at woman that works there--completely and utterly inappropriate behavior. I felt so sorry for the woman. Chester then goes to get our vehicle and at this time his customer comes over to me and we start talking. She states how long she has been waiting and that she may just go to Audi Brooklyn or Long Island as the service has been awful so far. I couldn’t agree with her more. We made a huge mistake coming to this dealership. We finally see the car after 3pm and it is stunning. However, the rear entertainment system is not what we expected. The screens are not imbedded in the headrest which is what we had thought. They are PROTURDING out from the under the headrest. We have 2 children under 2! How is a car seat going to even fit? When they eventually sit forward, this screen is dangerous! Chester did not know how to work the rear entertainment system and nobody was there to assist us. Can we remove the screens? Can the same dvd play on both screens? All questions we had no answers to. It is now 6pm and we are exhausted. Chester than drives us out of the dealership as it is rather tricky when you are unfamiliar with the building and parks the car in the doorway. He is showing us the lights when the garage door SLAMS down on our brand new car. The crunch that I heard was horrific. We inspect the damage. There were scuff marks and a scratch on the back but that was all we could see at that time. Chester said we could drive it back and have it buffed out. He also told us that the garage door has caused problems in the past as it slammed down on one of the worker’s heads and he had to go to the hospital. Then why in the world would he have left it parked in the doorway?????? At this point we have been there for over 4 hours and it was New Year’s Eve and the roads were closing (it is close to Times Square), we have a sitter watching our son and we just needed to get home. The next day I called Tom Seifert to discuss the garage door accident and the rear entertainment system (thinking Chester would have updated him already-which he did not). I called him on his cell as I rarely find him in the office. I proceeded to call another Audi dealership to see if I could find some answers about the rear entertainment system and what to do about the garage accident. The man I reached in Suffolk County could not have been any nicer. He told me that he believed that there were 2 options with the rear entertainment system and that if he were us, he would have never driven the car off the lot after the garage fell down on it. He told me that I would receive a survey from Audi in which I should have been informed about and could discuss my experience. I was never informed of this survey which realized surprised him. He told me that if I was really unhappy, I could call Audi Corporate. I did call Audi corporate immediately and got a very kind woman named Karen. She listened and advised and is going to follow up with my complaints. She called Audi of Manhattan and got the service department to call us and schedule a day to come and pick up the car to inspect it and repair any damage from their garage. She was wonderful. In the meantime, Tom Seifert called me back. I explained to him that the back system was not what he explained and we felt misled. The word “misled” set this man in a tailspin. He YELLED at me in a way that I have never been yelled out before by anyone, let alone the general manager of Audi of Manhattan. I yelled back and started crying. I am 8 months pregnant and I do not need this aggravation. My husband and I dropped over $66,000 cash for this car and this is how we are treated??? I work with the public and if I behaved in this type of manner to a customer, I would be fired. No questions asked. I have now filed a formal complaint with Audi Corporate about the entire experience with Audi of Manhattan. If this review can prevent at least one person from having this type of experience, than I will be happy. Please go to any other Audi dealership. Nobody deserves the type of treatment that we encountered at this facility. I do hope Audi puts more time and effort in training their employees on service excellence because if the product wasn’t so amazing, this place would be out of business. More
