Service department worst of the worst
Went to the dealership over ten times, my vehicle was in the shop for 52 days within a 3 month period since dashboard cluster kept indicating remote key not detected. It's safe to say they didn't have a clue what they were doing, and when they finally fixed it, on the drive home I realized the sunroof only retracts a quarter of a way and the sunshade 3 quarter of the way. I spoke to Marc Scalera (service advisor) and he told me it's just a setting they have to reprogram - "a quick fix" - and to bring the vehicle in a week because they're busy. Came back a week later and after waiting a couple of hours, Marc says they cannot reprogram it, a mechanism broke, and they need to disassemble the sunroof and need the vehicle for 3 or 4 days, and the next loaner available in 2 weeks. Two weeks later I receive a phone call to reschedule the appointment for another week because they don't have enough technicians. A week later, when I returned Marc told me they don't have any loaner available and they only have one technician working. If that was the case, they should have plenty of loaners available and it's very blatant they're giving me the runaround. When I asked Marc why he didn't notify me, he responded "I didn't know you were coming" - so much for service advisor. This happened under their supervision and negligence on their part - they showed no remorse. It is apparent they don't intend to fix the sunroof because is to complicated for them. The first day I took the vehicle to rectify the issue with remote key not detected, Marc Scalera called me and told me that they picked up an error code on my MMI and for them to fix it is going to cost $1,000, but today is my lucky day and they will do it for $750. I told Marc first of all I didn't bring the vehicle there for that and second of all there nothing wrong with my MMI, he told me that it has the potential of going bad. Think about that - would you pay $750 because "it has the potential of going bad?" That's your definition of a SNAKE OIL SERVICE ADVISOR.
For the record three months later the MMI is still working for the simple reason there is nothing wrong with it and it's working like a charm. I challenge Jim Desimone (General Manager) and Brooke Canty (owner) to call me so I can elaborate. Audi of Newton continues to say how much they value their customers - well guess what? I'm the customer - show me, walk the walk. I will update this review in the future.
