Recent Reviews from Audi Westmont

I recently purchased a 2010 Nissan Maxima SV from here, my sales rep was Nassem which was very friendly and helpful, I had visited a few dealerships before coming here and I have to say it was a very easy process and I was approved when other dealers had denied me....I would highly recommend coming here IF you're buying an actual Audi. Well to begin, I honestly had a great experience compared to other places. Its my first vehicle so I and my wife were very exited to hear that we had gotten approved even though we both don't have much credit history. The reps at the dealer come to you and explain the terms, conditions, ect... They do specify that any vehicle they receive goes through a very thorough inspection and that all cars are the best ill find anywhere. So I left the dealership with my new car very content like any other person would. The very first week, my tire pressure censor failed and so I had to take it in so they can replace it. They inspected it once more and said all was good now. So I went on my way, the second month right before my 60 DAYS warranty expired I had to take it in for service once more because of a loud crack noise when I was turning one day. I took it in and they said they were going to do a full inspection and they did find a few problems, they replaced the brakes, ball joints and a few other other things that needed to be done. It took them about a week to complete the fix and yes I do appreciate that they did pay for a rental the entire time the vehicle was in their hands. So approximately I would say 3 weeks after the dealer warranty had expired the Steering Control Module failed and I so I was stranded because the car would not turn on at all. I called the dealership and they brushed it off and said that they were not responsible for it anymore, I called Nissan and they mentioned that to replace the part it was going to cost me close to $1000! The payment is coming up and its been 2 weeks now and my car has been sitting at home. I feel like if this vehicle had been fully inspected and tested as they said it was, this would NOT have happened so soon. For a first time buyer I am very dissatisfied and disappointed that maybe they took advantage of my ignorance and gave me the approval so I can take the car out of their hands. For a $16,000 vehicle I feel like something should be done about this, its unfair for me to have to put in so much money out of my pocket for a car that was FULLY INSPECTED before being sold.

I bought a new 2015 Audi A4 one week ago today from Audi Westmont, and I can safely already say that I think this honeymoon period is going to far exceed the length of my car warranty! I am absolutely in love with this car! It is so much fun to drive. And I couldn't be happier that I bought it from Audi Westmont. Because of my recent experience with Audi Westmont, I know we are in for a long committed relationship because they know how to treat their customers right. Of course, it all began with the car buying process. I had only owned one car prior to my A4 and when I bought it, I had simply told my parents what I wanted down to the make, model, color and style, and they basically found it for me, negotiated the deal and told me where and when to sign the papers and pick it up. This time I was on my own. But I soon discovered that I wasn't really. Because I was in the patient and incredibly knowledgeable company of salesman Edward Riedmaier. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the Audi brand and the information he shared with me about Audi from how they are made, to how they function and how they take care of all the little details. And of course the test drive was a hell of a lot of fun, too! Even within the confines of Illinois' speed limits. ;) Mr. Riedmaier never made me feel rushed throughout the car buying process. He politely answered all of my questions- he even answered those that I wouldn't have even thought to have. Despite Mr. Riedmaier's best efforts, however, the deal wasn't a sure thing and I trotted off to a competitor just down the street. This was not in any way a reflection on Audi Westmont or Mr. Riedmeyer, but was due to my own belief that I should look at at least one other car instead of buying the first one that had (admittedly) stole my heart. But I couldn't stop thinking about that A4..... I finally came to my senses and before the close of business that same day, I was back at Audi Westmont to buy the car of my dreams. Everyone on staff at Audi Westmont that I have had the pleasure of working with in this short amount of time (Edward Riedmeyer, salesman extraordinaire, Bill Manrot, the Audi whisperer, and Amy Avila, the most patient finance manager on the planet) deserve the highest praise for the work they do. They treat their customers with respect and they truly seem to enjoy the work they do. I am so happy that I trusted my instincts and went with the A4 and, maybe even more importantly, that I made the drive out to the suburbs to buy my car at Audi Westmont. I would highly recommend anyone else to do the same.

I am truely dedicated to Laurel Audi of Westmont! Back in 2005 I purchased my first Audi, it was at Laurel Audi in Tinley Park. I live in the northwest suburbs so Tinley is a bit of a hike for me. I needed some routine maintenance work on my A4 and Tinley Park told me that i can bring my Audi to their sister dealership in Westmont, which saved me a 30min drive. I could not be more pleased with the service & care that I received at Westmont Audi, I haven't left them since. Over a spand of 10yrs, I built a trustful relationship with Blake Farmer in their service department. It had finally come time for a new A4. I am a woman on an imported beer budget :) but have expensive champaign taste so when I say a new A4, I mean a certified pre-owned Audi. I looked around at numerous Audi dealers but never felt the warmth & honesty that I had in Westmont. So, I called Blake and he of course recommended anyone in their sales department. He said they were all great, but I wanted 1 name so Blake referred me to Mike Morgan. I believe the story was that Mike sold Blake's uncle a vehicle and honestly any name he would have thrown at me, I would trust. The experience I had and will continue to have with Mr. Mike Morgan is by far the best experience I have ever encountered with any car salesman. Of course I understand that salesmen need to make their commission & basically they are just doing their jobs but I never felt that way with Mike. I truely believe that his goal was to make the customer happy. I am a perfectionist and I do not except the minimum, I want the best that I can get. I had gone on line and saw they had a white A4, thats what I was looking for! So I called Mike, set up an appt. to have my husband test drive the vehicle ( I didn't need to, I know exactly how great they handle & how quick they are, even going from my old 6cyl to the newer 4cyl Turbo, Awesome!) . My husband loved the car but I did not love the beige something interior & it was a premium pkg that was missing my blue cheese stuffed olives & cocktail onions! My husband probably would have purchased that car but I was not sold on it, I believe Mike could sense that. So we said we would think about it & get back to him. Well, Mike called me the next day to see how I felt about the A4 and we spoke for at least an hour because I could not make a decission and he needed to find out exactly what would make happy. The next day Mike called me and said he has a Blk A4 premium plus coming in, that he thinks I will love. Since either it was not there yet or not ready to show, I couldn't even look at it & little does he know he basically sold it to me over the phone. He answered all my questions, was extreamly patient, gave me so much information, Helped me compare the white one we test drove to the blk one I had not even seen, expained new car warrenty, CPO warrenty, extended warrenty, so much information I was going in circles. It was almost like I was looking for him to make the decission for me, I was that confused, the 2 cars balanced each other out as far as miles, color, interior, wheels, features, price,it was nuts. He was so honest & nice through it all, I ran out of questions and built this complete trust in him. When the Blk A4 arrived, I took it for a little spin and next thing I know, papers were being signed & yes Mike found me my perfect car! Also, I was extreamly happy that I would be able to continue the trust and honesty in their service department with Blake. The next morning in my garage, I started to nit pick my beautiful black panther . It's used, it's not going to be perfect but I want it to be. There were a couple minor scratches on the body & hood, no big deal, the rest of the car was perfect and I have the CPO warrenty, what else could I want. Anyone one else would probably be ok with it, especially since Audi of Westmont did not owe me anything. That form you sign when you sign your contract, that one that states wether or not the dealership owes you anything or vice versa. Well, I called Mike told him I realize they are not responsible for it, I signed the form stating that they would not "owe" me for anything & I didn't expect anything to come out of it BUT.......it was an eye sore for me. So once again, Mike exceeded my expectations. He spoke with his manager and all they wanted was to keep me happy and in love with my Audi. I brought it in and they took care of everything I asked for, even though they did not have to. Years ago I made the commitment to drive an Audi for the rest of my life, I am that passionate about the car and now I can also say that I make that same commitment to Laurel Audi of Westmont. Since the renovation, the dealership is gorgeous, the service is exceptional and thats another long review to write, the salesmen are the best, Mike Morgan is the best and I will always recommend him to everyone, I could not ask for a more perfect experience. Even have to say kuddos to Lucy that went over my contract with me, very nice and thorough. Laurel Audi of Westmont 100% Class, Honesty & Commitment to their customers, the best! Thank You for such a great experiance I have had with you for over a decade and will continue to have for many more to come!!

I hesitated to post this review, but after 2+ months with a new Q5 and already no less than 3 service visits (and now having to schedule an upcoming 4th at another dealership), I felt compelled to voice my less-than-satisfying experience. I purchased a 2015 Audi Q5 just this past August (2014). In considering my overall purchase experience, I would have to say it was merely average. Here's why... I had done my pricing research and was already pre-approved for a loan, so I was prepared, but at times during the 4+ hour buying experience, I felt pressured to accept several counter offers at several price points or option packages. I had made the trip out to the dealership with the intention of purchasing based on what I was told on the phone. Looking back, however, there was a great deal more hemming and hawing than I could have anticipated or would have liked - it felt like I was pulling their teeth and it got uncomfortable. I found myself haggling at each stage, something I thought I had prepared myself NOT to do. But, regrettably, I had made the trip out there and had a mindset push through with the purchase. I also felt my sales rep was less than straightforward, assuring me that the car they had "picked out" for me had an upgraded audio option (I asked twice), when it in fact only had the base audio, which I admittedly overlooked somehow (new car fever??), and unfortunately realized only much later (much too late to do anything about it, I'm afraid); so I'm stuck with a decent, but unimpressive sound system. On top of that, I've already needed to bring the car in for numerous questionable "quality control" or "build quality" issues pertaining to door panel rattles, interior plastic panels separating from their mounts (literally popping off for no apparent reason), and, most recently, weird mechanical clunking sounds coming from somewhere in the rear of the vehicle when stopping and starting at low speeds, despite securing or removing any potentially loose objects, panels or spare parts that could be noise "red-herrings" (hence my forthcoming 4th service appointment). Some may call these issues picky, and I would agree if I had just purchased a Nissan or Chevy (no offense), but I don't think rattling door panels or any of these other issues should be expected from a $55,000 Audi, or from any other "luxury" brand for that matter. In all fairness, I will say their finance department did work with me to secure a very favorable interest rate on the portion I financed (even better than my pre-approved car loan from my own bank, as a matter of fact), and they also did slash the price of some of the add-on service and extended warantee options I added. Based on other reviews posted here, my experience seems to be the exception rather than the norm. But for my part, I can't say I'm all that impressed as a result of my buying "process" or the issues I've had since my purchase. I came from an 7 year old Acura TSX which had no such problems for at least my first 4 years of ownership, and which I would attribute to normal wear-and-tear, as to be expected after some time). It was in all other respects a fantastic truly reliable car. I therefore did have some trepidation of possible reliability issues with a German automaker, but really wanted to try a "true luxury" brand. While the car seems to otherwise run and drive generally as expected, it would seem at least some of my reliability/build quality fears have been realized. This has unfortunately soured what I hoped to be a great and satisfying purchase from this dealership and my impression of the Audi brand as a whole. Of course I am but one amongst many car buyers that have passed through this dealership, most of whom seem to have had good, if not great, buying/service experiences here based on many other reviews. Sadly, I cannot count myself as one of them.

I could not believe the experience I've just had at this Audi dealership. The sale person was rude, condescending and extremely disrespectful during the 15 minutes negotiation. Outraged, but didn't want to make a scene, I put on a smile, thanked for his time, shook his hand and walked out in disbelieve. Example of the unprofessionalism: Salesman: "The price you offer is ridiculous, not worth discussing. If you want cheap car, let me find you a cheap car..." (Threw his offer paper into the trash bin, then opened up his browser, typed something in. Apparently looking for a cheap car to sell to me) Me: "I'm not looking for cheap car. I'm trying to see what you can do for me with the price of the car we're discussing and with my trade-in value". Salesman: "You're not looking for a cheap car? So how did you come up with that ridiculous price? Did you even think before you opened your mouth rattling off that ridiculous price?" Salesman (continued): "Can't do anything about your trading value either. For your information, as soon as I bought your car, I have to IMMEDIATELY put it on auction. Can't have it sitting in our lot. It degrades the prestige of the our business. People coming here to by 80K cars, if they had to walk by that car in the parking lot, they will say 'what kind of dealership is this?'" Me: "Well, I see better prices on automotive web sites" Salesman: "Edmunds.com is where you should go to get real pricing" Me: "As you can see here, for a car with the exact year, model and options, Edmunds Fair Market Price is $2K cheaper than what you're offering" Salesman: "Does Edmunds have a car to sell to you? Can they sell you a car? Huh, do they have a car like this to sell to you? Huh? Can you buy a car from them?" Not sure how much of it was used car salesman tactic and how much was just personality, and not sure if they are profiling as another reviewer has said. Regardless of the reason or tactic, it's a disgrace to the Audi brand. None of my friends own an Audi so I don't know if this experience is typical at Audi dealerships, but a few who own BMWs rave about the great and professional treatment they received at their dealerships (during the sale process and subsequently when they brought their cars in for service). Audi makes great cars, but if their dealerships are so unprofessional, Audi is not a brand worth buying. I have contacted the Audi corporation and Autonation.com (the dealer's parent company) to report the incident. They both said they were sorry to hear about the incident and promised to have managers contact me on a weekday next week to discuss. I'll update this review after the discussion. Until then, beware of Audi Westmont.

I first off contacted Westmont Audi inquiring about a RS5. I had a different car picked out at another dealer already in the same price range. After meeting Art R., learning about the dealer and the Audi build difference I had decided to order the 2013 RS5. I already felt like Art new more about Audi and the quality of what I was ordering than the last few dealers I had shopped at. He took his time going over how Westmont Audi would keep me informed about the cars progress from ordering all the way to the delivery. In fact Art emailed me every two weeks!. First I got the chance to build the car on paper and approve the order, then when Audi started to assemble the car in Germany I was notified. Again when the RS5 was be exported from Germany to Port in Houston and again while it was in transit to Illinois. I felt that Art cared about me knowing the status of my car. When it was delivered Art contacted me to arrange me coming to the dealer to pick it up...and the week in advance he emailed me several finance options to review. I showed up an hour early but Art saw me in the parking lot and assisted me in the dealer and right to the detail room where my new RS5 was waiting. We walked around the car and he showed me the basics of what I ordered never once rushing me. When I was ready he handed me a nice fabric bag to get the last few things out of my trade and did the preliminary paper work to speed up financing. While he was doing the details of the trade in he gave me the key to the RS5 and told me to take it out for a ride and when I come back we can get to the finance dept...never rushing me. After I got back from he best ride ever we were in and out of finance in 10-15 minutes. Art then walked me through the Audi dealer explaining where to go for service, how to arrange it with him in advance if I wanted and what happens when I bring the car in. After the tour we walked out to the car and spent 30 minutes setting the interior up to my comforts, the Bluetooth, satellite, phone, and going over each function of the car. Art was great and sat with me until I had full understanding of the buttons. I'm a techy guy but Art wanted to make sure everything was set up before I left. And he made me feel like I was his most important customer. After i left I received several emails to keep in touch, if I had any questions in the past few days and to remember that if I did need anything to simply call. Gregg Goldstein
