I purchased an Audi Q7 on April 18, 2024. I have owned Audi’s since 2018, but never purchased from Farmington in the past. I was assured I would get valet service and a loaner, if my car n I have owned Audi’s since 2018, but never purchased from Farmington in the past. I was assured I would get valet service and a loaner, if my car needed service. This was very important to me, since I live approximately 40 miles from the dealership. I called for service, because when I accelerated my steering wheel would vibrate back and forth for 2-3 seconds, and I had no control over the car. It happened 5 times and was extremely unnerving. I talked to Alex and she asked if I used my turned signal. I always do. She asked if I was changing lanes, and yes, 4 out of the 5 times I was. She seemed puzzled and said they would check it out and at that point, I asked for valet. I was informed that it was no longer available. Then I was told if I wanted a loaner vehicle, they would have one for me at the end of October! (This was the last week of August). I found this to be totally unacceptable. She said I should contact my salesperson, and he might be able to get me a loaner sooner. So, I called Patrick Hamama, and explained what was happening with my car. He said he would call me back after he talked to a manager. I never heard back from him. I left several messages over a 3-day period. I was not comfortable driving the car and decided to have it towed to the dealership the following Wednesday. Audi roadside only covers the first 24 miles. I assumed the extra cost of $90. Within a couple hours, I received a text saying my car checked out fine. I called the service department and talked to Jessika. Again, I explained what was happening, and that I was afraid to drive the car. She said there was nothing more she could do, so I asked to speak to the service manager. She said she would ask him to call me. My husband and I both left messages for Jerron the manager, that day and on Thursday and Friday. No return calls. I left my final message around 3:30 on Friday. About 10 minutes later, my husband received a call from Justin, returning the call for Jerron. My husband put him on speaker phone. I told Justin that I was afraid to drive the car, because I didn’t know why the steering wheel started vibrating like it did. Justin said that there was nothing wrong with my car, and that I needed to pick it up. He then started yelling at us, saying that he was going to have the car towed to a repo lot. He said that his service station was not my parking lot and I needed to get it out of there now. I said I wanted to sell the car back to them then, because I was afraid to drive it. I asked him to get me an appraisal. He refused. He told me to call sales. Next I talked to Mickaela in sales. She said she would go over to service and call someone to appraise it. I never heard back from her. On the following Monday morning, I called Audi roadside and had the car towed back to me. I did not have anyone to drive me to the dealership, and I was afraid Justin would have it towed to repo. I was charged $363.57 for the tow. My son started doing some research on this issue, and discovered it was the “lane assist” that was taking control of my car. We watched several You-tube videos and found that I was not the only one disturbed by this feature. My question is, why did no one explain this to me. I talked to Patrick, Alex, Jessika, and Justin. Not one of them explained that this was how the lane assist feature worked. This was not my first Audi, but I never experienced this in the other cars during the 6.5 years I drove them. If one of these “Audi specialists” had taken the 3 minutes to explain this feature to me, and that it could be turned off, my car would not have needed service. So now I am out $453.57 and I think Audi should reimburse me. I suggest they teach their staff the meaning of “customer service.” I am currently in discussions with Audi USA to review this very poorly run dealership. More

I want to share my recent experience with Audi Farmington Hills in hopes of saving others from a similar frustration. I found a vehicle on their website on Sunday and immediately inquired about it. Since it Hills in hopes of saving others from a similar frustration. I found a vehicle on their website on Sunday and immediately inquired about it. Since it was late and a weekend, I followed up again on Monday morning. I initially spoke with a “sales person” named Shira and asked if the 9-year-old vehicle from Virginia had any rust. Shira wasn't sure but promised to get back to me with photos. I asked if I could leave a deposit to secure the vehicle, but they said no. The next day, I didn't receive any updates, so I texted and called. Mickaela, another salesperson, told me they were too busy and that the vehicle was with the tech service team. Mickaela assured me they would get the photos the next day. By mid-morning the next day, I still hadn't heard anything. My texts went unanswered, and my calls were forwarded. I had to call the main store to finally reach Mickaela, who promised to get me the photos after being busy with deliveries. Five more hours passed without any communication. When I called again, Mickaela informed me that the vehicle was being sold the next day. I was baffled because I had been told deposits weren't accepted. In a last-ditch effort to secure the vehicle, I used their online purchase program without knowing the rust condition and received confirmation that my order was being processed. However, 12 hours later, I learned that another customer was about to view the vehicle. When I asked why I hadn't been given the chance to purchase it, Mickaela simply said they were too busy and brushed me off with a dismissive "sorry, it happens." I genuinely believe my interest was used as leverage to sell the vehicle to someone else. This experience was incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. Despite my best efforts to communicate and secure the vehicle, the lack of follow-through and transparency was disheartening. The General Manager, Tim Tharp, was supposed to call me but never did. If you are not located close to this dealership, beware of wasting your time with what feels like a bait-and-switch tactic. I would never run a business this way without integrity, (which means doing what you say you're going to do… incase an employee needs a reminder of this). I hope my experience helps others avoid the same frustration. I would not recommend Audi Farmington Hills to anyone looking for a reliable and respectful car-buying experience. More

After an appoint communication,and carefulness. She replies to us very fast and always make sure we understand all the details regarding the vehicle. After an appointment with her for test drive, we decide to buy it. She made the whole purchase process very smoothy and easy. Before we finish the payment, she already made the vehicle ready to go, that she is more efficient than I expected. In the main time, she always keeps in touch with us, resolved most of the confusions. We are very happy to work with her. More

Contacted Audi Farmington Hills to test drive a couple used Q5s, Mickaela Latour quickly replied and set up an appointment to test drive them. When we arrived for the appointment, she had the vehicles re used Q5s, Mickaela Latour quickly replied and set up an appointment to test drive them. When we arrived for the appointment, she had the vehicles ready to go, and after driving them both we decided to buy one. That purchase process went as smoothly as possible and Mickaela kept in contact with us the whole time. We did an online appraisal of our older Q3 that we traded in which was very convenient. Mickaela even helped my daughter set up the Audi app on her phone a few days after the sale. More
