Audi Service Overcharging
Overcharging beyond RidiculousI took my car to the Audi dealer in Kirrawee for a service and was shocked by the final bill of $1,300. When I called to understand why the cost was so high, I was told that additional work had been done. After insisting on an itemised bill (which they don’t provide unless specifically requested), I was horrified to see that the labour charge was over $300 per hour. The cost for the parts replaced only amounted to around $350–$400, with the rest being exorbitant labour costs.
After much back and forth, I was able to get one hour of labour deducted. I also lodged a complaint with Audi’s head office, but their response, delivered by the Shainna (she didn't provide a surname) Customer Experience Ambassador, was dismissive: We have coordinated your concern with Audi Centre Sutherland and was advised that they have already explained the break down for the intermediate service. Whilst we can appreciate that this is not the answer you are seeking, please be assured that we have taken your concerns very seriously. We understand that you may not be satisfied with this outcome; however, this will be our final position in this case. Thank you for the opportunity to comment, and we trust this clarifies our position on the matter.

This experience serves as a cautionary tale. Always demand transparency, question unexplained charges, and insist on an itemised bill. Customer Be Aware.
