Default How can I get Audi to give me a damn loaner ?

My car is went in for tranny work thursday and its likely it won't be done until next thursday. Has anyone had any luck getting a loaner out of them under the assured warranty ?

Usually depends on the dealer.

Default It depends totally on the dealership......

Here in Chicagoland some dealerships totally give out Enterprise rentals cars while some, if scheduled like 2 weeks in advance, will give you an Audi loaner, regardless of what work is being done, regardless Audi pays for it or you pay for it. My car is in for the 30k service right now and I'm driving a loaner A6 3.0Q, and I did schedule more than 2 weeks in advance.

Good luck!

Default Do you get the feeling that you should buy a GM product

GM= Garbage Motors

Default I already own a GM with 152k on the ticker that will embarass

most Audi's. The A4 I own has been at the dealer so many times.....well count the loaners. I will happily keep my 1996 Impala SS any day. Of course the car is modified.

As others have said, it depends totally on the dealer. We have had great luck with both of the dealers we use, Classic Audi in Orlando and Shelton Audi in Ft.Myers FL.
In fact, we took our 99 Avant in to Shelton for the 60,000 service(out of warranty) and they rolled out a 2003 A6 Avant with 400 miles on it. It was a pretty sweet ride. I guess they were hoping we would come back and want to trade up!!! LOL
