What's up with the Audi dealers in the Bay Area?
AB Audi in San Jose wants me to wait almost 2 months for a 5000 mile service and my car is now at 5300 miles and no service until end of Dec 2000! Carlsen Audi at Palo Alto is slightly better with a 1 month wait. This means I should schedule my 10,000 mile service now....This kind of service makes me wonder if Audi is a good buy afterall.

The only upside of the A4 is driving it. Everything else such as customer service, tech service, (m)
reliability, parts availability, etc. just plain _sucks_.
From what owners are saying here about 2001 models, the oil filter is replaced every other oil change! If you get a service appointment, that is.
Also, I think the tech service department is closed on weekends for most delaerships. That's a joke.
What is there to really service before 50k anyway?

i had that same problem because i needed a loaner
my car is in the shop right now for its 15k service...it has over 17K, which means I should start looking around for an appointment for its 20K service pretty soon. I wonder if there are any delerships that offer free loaners in the south bay...

Just wondering about Diablo...
I don't live up in Nor Cal but I was on Bart going to SF when I saw a Porsche dealer from the train. Is the Audi dealer nearby or on the same lot?

Audi had better take care of this or my A4 will be the last one I own
It is absolutely ridiculous to be required to wait 2 months for scheduled service. I would cringe to think what the wait for emergency service is.

Last week I called Royal Motors in SF to schedule 6 mo. service
and they could take the car any day (!).
I do not know how good they are, and there is not much feedback about them on this forum. I decided to try them anyway. I scheduled the appointment for the end of November.
I did not ask for the loaner since I work within walking distance.
