Looking for reputable Audi Dealership
I am in the Burlington area. The closest dealerships are Hamilton Audi and Oakville Audi ( Oakville is closer ).
I am @ 61,800 KM with plenty still remaining on my bumper to bumper and PT warranty, so I would need a dealership for the time being as there is another small problem that exists with the car ( MIL light is illuminated, not flashing ).
Anyone know where I can find reviews on these two dealerships? Any recommendations? Anyone had a good or poor experience with one or both dealerships? Hamilton Audi is very busy ( booking a week ahead ), Oakville doesn't seem to be at all ( booking a couple of days ahead ). Now I don't know if that has to do with an Audi dealership being readily available in Mississauga or if one is more reputable than the other. Maybe it has virtually nothing to do with anything other than timing.
If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I just purchased this Audi and it is due for some servicing and that small problem does exist ( hopefully it is small ).
After my 80,000 KM is done and over with, does anyone have a recommendation for a garage?

Re: Looking for reputable Audi Dealership
Just curious why this forum does not list Dealership ratings, feedback on dealerships like the other audi forums do? It would certainly help to hear from REAL customers who is first rate and who to avoid? I purchased my A6 from Miss Audi and have had it serviced their once as well- first rate for me.

Re: Looking for reputable Audi Dealership
I agree 100% with the previous post. John worked on my car the first time and found something that he could very well have just ignored and I would never have know the difference. He even replaced the missing lug caps free of charge.
Their customer service is decent as well. They offer decent beverages & snacks ( great variety ), reading material and even a ride home if need be.
My only beef is the wait time, if you decide to wait around... 2 hours plus for simple stuff....I was in line first this morning, arrived at 745 AM sharp and the car was brought in immediately. The MIL light was on. They replaced a fuel pressure sensor and one of the evap valves ( one was leaking ). I didn't get out of there until 945AM. Last time around ( John ), the MIL was on and they performed general maintenance and flashed the ECU ( this is some sort of recall BTW ) and it took me 2 hours + to get out of there...
Overall though, for a dealership, they seem to be one of the better ones...
