Thank you for your input. We take negative comments very seriously as we are always looking to improve our customers experience. Ive researched the repairs we performed on your 2011 Audi in October of 2023. I would like to provide some more information as it appears we failed to properly communicate our process to you. For that, I take full responsibility.
You brought us your vehicle to diagnose a problem of low coolant and your radiator fans running after the engine was shut off. Our certified technician scanned your vehicle for faults, filled your cooling system with new coolant, performed a pressure test and inspected for a leak. ************** found a significant leak coming from a broken coolant pipe that connects the upper radiator hose to the engines cylinder head. Further visual inspections found previous repair attempts from another shop that used electrical tape to hold coolant hoses together. These pictures were sent to you with *********** order for your reference. We are a quality shop, and we know these cars very well. Due to the weak plastic parts of the cooling system and our history with these cars, we recommend replacing the broken pipe, along with the expansion tank, expansion tank hoses, Radiator hose and flushing out the old coolant and fill with new. This estimate was $1,514.61 plus our diagnosis fee and taxes which you approved. At this time, we also performed a complementary full digital inspection of your vehicle. We sent you the full report including pictures and descriptions of your vehicles condition. In this report we recommend several repairs and maintenance that you declined. And thats ok, we understand working with a budget is important and fixing your leaking cooling system was the correct action as it is the most important. After fixing the broken pipe and installing the new hoses and expansion tank, we performed another pressure test to verify our work and to confirm no other issues. Its in your best interest that we check this now, otherwise another issue *** leave you stranded, and we dont want that. During the second pressure test, we found a much smaller coolant leak that is very difficult to see as it comes from between the supercharger and the top of the engine. This leak was impossible to find during our initial pressure testing due to the severity of the original broken hose. At this time, our tech recommended more parts to be replaced, like the thermostat and other parts associated with the thermostat. The intake manifold and supercharger are removed to access the thermostat and therefore it is also very labor intensive.This job estimate is $1816.71. We know youre working with a limited budget, and we know youve had some hard times recently, that I wont disclose here. As a result,we wanted to help you in any way we could, so we provided a discount of almost $1,800.00. Plus, we let you use the $79.00 off coupon you brought us. We feel we went above and beyond with you, and were shocked that you are providing this negative feedback and indicating we are a rip off. Reviews like this affect our business, our team, and our community. We do everything in our power to provide top level service. I know were not perfect, but we truly care for our clients and our team. As I stated at the beginning of this response, I feel we must not have communicated all this to you effectively and for that I will discuss with my team on how to better communicate with our clients. Id be happy to discuss any concerns you have via phone or in person. Im asking you to please remove this review as I feel its not fair. Thank you.
