Just a heads-up to anyone thinking of taking their - Disappointed
Just a heads-up to anyone thinking of taking their vehicle to Downtown Audi: I ended up spending nearly $2,300 on what should have been a fairly minor service and some exploratory diagnostics—only to be told I’d need over $5,000 more in repairs, with still no clear answer on what the actual problem was.
I brought my Audi SQ5 in after getting an “air suspension malfunction” warning. I paid $220 for a diagnostic, expecting some insight—but they couldn’t tell me what was wrong. I didn’t even get an update until late in the day. They suggested replacing the battery and checking the wiring, which I agreed to, hoping it would finally get to the root of the issue.
