I m writing this review for my sister and brother ...
I m writing this review for my sister and brother in law as they had such a poor experience at this dealership I m not sure they d be willing to take the time to help them with a review and boy do they need help. I m a loyal Audi customer in NY and I m currently driving my second SQ5 (2018). It s been such a great car and my experience with my Audi dealership on the East Coast has been stellar.
My sister and brother in law are both in the market for a new car so I convinced them to go look at the Q5 (Prestige) for her and the A5 or A7 for him. My sister got very average assistance from the salesman but did drive the Q5 and really liked it. She had several questions regarding color and trim and the salesman pushed her hard to take what he had on the lot. She left really liking the car but felt the shopping experience was average to below average. She proceeded to the Volvo dealership where she had a much better experience and she is now close to buying one.
Over the weekend she went back with her husband for him to look at A5/A7. This experience was much worse as the salesperson struggled to answer the majority of his questions. Eventually they were handed off to another salesperson who was marginally better but still lacked the training to answer many of his questions. They eventually got to test drive an A5 which apparently had a significantly under charged battery. The vehicle stalled in the middle of the test drive and wouldn t restart. They had to have an Uber pick them up and return them to the dealership. As you can imagine they went home shaking their heads but somehow understood that these things can happen. This happened over the weekend and they were never contacted again by anyone at the dealership. Unbelievable!!
All I can say is they must sell so many cars that they can get away with such poor treatment of prospective buyers. If I was Audi I d be very concerned about how this kind of dealetsip effects the brand. Really too bad Audi lets this occur in a big market like Seattle.
