I took my 2016 Q7 for a couple of services to Audi Oxnard which is the closest dealership to where I live. The first service was a 10000 mile check. The second was again a regular check and an oil change and an update. Each time they needed a whole day to complete the job. I was promised to be notified after the work was completed. In both instances I never received the call but had to call myself several times to get the status of my vehicle.
In September 2019 I traded in the Q7 in for an e-Tron. As Audi Oxnard is the closest dealership I wanted to give them a chance to get my business. The offer that they gave me was so bad that I left without buying the vehicle at the Oxnard Audi dealership. Instead I purchased the car from the dealership were I got the Q7 three years before for a much better price.
A few days ago I purchased another Audi. This time I did not even bother to to go out to Oxnard as their selection of the model was limited. Therefore I ended up getting my A8L at a different dealership. I had problems with the setup of my Audi App and needed help. So I turned to Audi Oxnard. I should have been warned from my previous experiences! Cesar from the service department referred me to a sales person. His first reaction after me explaining my problem was to ask me were I bought the car. He was very unenthusiastic and told me only because he is a “nice person” he would try to help me. After being in the car with me for less than 60 seconds without a result we went inside the dealership to his computer. My App was already set up on the phone and just needed some more input from Audi. Suddenly he decided that his help would stop right here and sent me back to my vehicle advising me I should try myself. Of cause this didn't work as he didn't submit the missing data. I went back inside, the person that I talked to was gone, and again asked for help in their service department. In a rather brisk tone I was told that Audi Oxnard was not willing to deal with my problem and I should turn instead to the dealership where I bought the car. Cesar was friendly but I am not mentioning the other names as I don't want anybody to get in trouble.
Audi builds great cars and I have been owning their premium cars for decades. I have dealt with quite a few dealerships and had overall good experiences. But today's experience at Audi Oxnard was so disappointing that I felt the need to share this.
