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

This is hands down, the worst experience I have ever encountered with a dealership and I own 6 cars!! I have documentation via text and e-mail to support every claim I am making. I first contacted Aaron encountered with a dealership and I own 6 cars!! I have documentation via text and e-mail to support every claim I am making. I first contacted Aaron Stokes regarding a used Lexus they had for sale. Aaron did not respond to e-mails, had horrible to no follow-up etc. I spoke to him on a Saturday and voiced my concern. He apologized, made some excuses and said he would follow-up with his used car manager on Monday and call me that day. Monday came and went and finally, on Thursday, I called the dealership and explained the experience with Aaron. They seemed concerned so had another agent contact me. Her name is Zahraa Amhaz. She contacted me apologizing and claiming that was very unusual for Aaron to be so unresponsive. I met with her that day, drove the vehicle and had a follow-up question that I texted her on Saturday,. She did not respond at all. On the following Monday, I again texted her telling her I would like to proceed with the purchase and would like to discuss price. She NEVER even responded.....absolutely unbelievable!! I would steer clear of Audi Farmington Hills and their team. Very unprofessional and buyer beware!! Can you imagine that if this is the experience when you are trying to purchase a vehicle from them, what will the experience be like if there is an issue? They are part of the Suburban Collection which is now owned by Lithia. I am going to reach out to one of the VP's at Lithia and see how they respond. Stay tuned! More

This place is the worst. The service is horrible and Audi customer service is worse. I brought my Audi in for service. The steering wheel was not straight with the wheels The service is horrible and Audi customer service is worse. I brought my Audi in for service. The steering wheel was not straight with the wheels so they said I needed a front end alignment. I told them that I received the vehicle back after they had to replace the entire front end from a collision. They charged because they said the vehicle requires a front end alignment every 2 years or 24 miles. I also had a rattle in the back of my vehicle. They told me that "I" striped out the license plate screws and it license plate holder needed to be replaced for $450. I declined, went to the store an replaced the screws that were too long with the proper length. Cost of screws, $7. The side crash avoidance light works intermittently. They said it was because I didn't replace the windshield with OEM glass. I windshield repair store bought the windshield from that specific dealer at my request. These guys are really stupid people who have no idea how to service a car. And yes, per other comments, even if you spend $100,000 on a vehicle, you might as well have bough a used Audi for $10,000 because the amount you spend has zero impact on the level of service you receive. Also, plan on having your vehicle sit for weeks before they even get to it. THE WORST PART OF THIS IS THAT I LEFT 3 MESSAGES WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE GUY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE PROFESSIONALISM TO CALL ME BACK! They need to bring Che' back. More

We saw the Audi S5 convertible with Prestige package on the website. We have been looking for this specific car for awhile. We made a quick call and had an appointment to meet with Aaron Stokes the nex the website. We have been looking for this specific car for awhile. We made a quick call and had an appointment to meet with Aaron Stokes the next afternoon. Aaron had it waiting in the parking lot when we arrived to test drive. The purchase/lease process was quick and easy. Aaron is personable and professional. He made the entire sale stress free and enjoyable. Other people that helped in the sale were also great to work with. We drove from the West side of the state to look at this car. It was definitely worth the long drive. The S5 is gorgeous, sturdy, fast and fun to drive. I cannot wait till spring to put the top down. I could actually do it now; it has neck wormers. I highly recommend Audi of Farmington Hills and a shout out to Aaron Stokes who made my dream car a reality. More
