Audi Uptown

SAFETY WARNING – DO NOT TRUST AUDI UPTOWN OR SALES MANAGER KEVIN GALINDO i strongly urge anyone considering doing business with Audi Uptown to think twice—especially when it comes to purchasing a Cer MANAGER KEVIN GALINDO i strongly urge anyone considering doing business with Audi Uptown to think twice—especially when it comes to purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle. Based on my experience, this dealership cannot be trusted, and sales manager Kevin Galindo does not stand behind the work they sell or certify. In August 2024, I purchased a 2021 Audi RS7 from Audi Uptown, presented to me as a Certified Plus vehicle—a designation that is supposed to guarantee thorough inspection and high-quality repairs carried out by Audi-certified technicians. Since I took delivery, I’ve driven the car less than 3,000 km. The RS7 was stored in my garage for the winter and only brought out again in May 2025. From the beginning, I noticed a mild squeaking noise that gradually worsened. I brought the car to my local Audi Certified Plus dealership to investigate. They informed me that the rear bumper had previously been removed and was improperly reinstalled—with damaged clips and missing securing hardware. This is a clear violation of Audi’s certification standards, and something that was never disclosed by Audi Uptown at the time of sale. Here are the repair notes from my local Audi service center: “REMOVED REAR LID UPPER AND LOWER TRIM, FOUND IMPROPER INSTALL (CLIPS DAMAGED/NOT SECURED PROPERLY FROM INCORRECT INSTALLATION), FOUND LEFT SIDE OF REAR BUMPER COVER NOT SECURED PROPERLY (MISSING HARDWARE FROM POSSIBLE PREVIOUS RE&RE) CAUSING REAR BUMPER TO MOVE/RUB AGAINST BODY/LIGHT ASSEMBLY. INSTALLED SECURING HARDWARE TO LEFT REAR BUMPER COVER.” The repair cost me $926 out of pocket. When I contacted Audi Uptown, The Sales Manager Kevin Galindo refused to accept any responsibility. His justification? The vehicle had been purchased eight and a half months earlier, and he claimed he couldn’t verify that no additional work had been done—despite the car having extremely low mileage and being stored in a garage for the majority of that time. To be clear, I’m not upset about the $926. This RS7 was a purchase of over $100,000. What truly concerns me is the complete lack of accountability and the absence of any safety consideration from the sales manager. Rather than investigating the issue or showing any willingness to stand behind their certification, he was quick to shift blame onto me. This response was both dismissive and unacceptable. The issue clearly stems from Audi Uptown’s failure to properly inspect and reassemble the vehicle. Selling a car with a dangerously insecure bumper as “Certified Plus” is irresponsible and deceptive. This oversight placed my family’s safety at risk. No even a phone call made by the sales manger to understand and here my concerns. If my local Audi dealer hadn’t found and addressed this issue, I could have been driving a car with a bumper that might detach or fail during an accident. That’s not just bad service—it’s a serious safety hazard. Do NOT buy, lease, or service your vehicle at Audi Uptown. Do NOT trust the words or promises of Kevin Galindo. Their lack of accountability and disregard for safety is alarming. Audi Uptown is cutting corners and misrepresenting the integrity of their Certified Plus vehicles. Please take this review seriously—your safety and that of your passengers could depend on it. More

I recently had a very disappointing experience with Audi Uptown’s service department. I brought my 2022 Audi Q5 for a check on Friday due to a low tire pressure warning. The service advisor, Wendy SIN, clai Uptown’s service department. I brought my 2022 Audi Q5 for a check on Friday due to a low tire pressure warning. The service advisor, Wendy SIN, claimed additional repairs were necessary, totalling $2,120, which included: Brake pads: $1,100 Wheel alignment: $900 Tire repair (patch tire): $120 My extended warranty allegedly did not cover these repairs, even though my car had just completed its annual maintenance in June this year. These prices seemed highly unreasonable, especially since my car had recently undergone annual maintenance in June. I was shocked by the estimate and called to stop the repairs. However, Wendy informed me that the work had already started, and I would need to pay part of the cost regardless. During my Saturday visit, Wendy inaccurately recorded that I had damaged my car, which is untrue. I emailed Wendy and her manager to prove this claim and correct this record but have not received a response. Wendy later displayed two pictures of the replaced parts, claiming they were abnormal, yet provided no evidence to support the damage claim. When I picked up my car on Monday, I discovered discrepancies in my service record. Wendy had noted that I had damaged my car, which was false. Wendy had also added a note to page 1 of the service form without my knowledge or consent. When I asked her about it, she pointed to my signature on page 2, implying I had authorized it—which felt very misleading and unethical. Additionally, when I questioned why the repairs weren’t covered under my extended warranty, Wendy claimed she needed time to “study” the warranty. I waited for over an hour at the shop, only to be told I’d been given a discount after she discussed it with her manager. Ultimately, I was charged $1,780 despite not receiving a proper breakdown of why my warranty did not cover the repairs. However, I didn’t want a discount — I wanted a clear explanation of why these repairs were necessary and not covered. To make matters worse, Wendy later admitted that the team shares bonuses or commissions on repairs. However, there is no visible sign disclosing this, which I believe is required under the Consumer Protection Act. This whole experience felt like a trap. I regret not checking the reviews earlier and strongly advise anyone going to Audi Uptown to be cautious. Ask for clear documentation and detailed cost estimates in writing, and ensure you fully understand the work before authorizing anything. More

BEFORE BUYING A (CPO) CERTIFIED-PREOWNED VEHICLE READ THIS REVIEW. Earlier this year I picked up a 2018 Audi TTS. Lovely car. On the day of delivery I noticed the front air vent grill was broken THIS REVIEW. Earlier this year I picked up a 2018 Audi TTS. Lovely car. On the day of delivery I noticed the front air vent grill was broken and the bumper was scratched (see attached image). Dealership: The car is CPO inspected and cleared but looks like this slipped through the cracks. We'll take care of it. Okay, no worries. I totally understand. Little had I known what was in store for me. This began nearly a year long ordeal. Hang tight because we're just getting started. That day (delivery day) I drove the car home in good faith and here's some other issues that sprung up: 👉🏼 Apart from the front bumper scratch and broken grill repair/replacement 👉🏼 I noticed a knocking sound from the engine bay area on the driver’s side (was a cross bar or something, not the technical wizzard here) on slow speeds. 👉🏼And the brakes making a squealing sound (which is quite embarrassing as you pull up to a stop). Listen: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xdywj1obvggw4kxdnd2b4/TTS-brake-sounds-case-no-05784255.mov?rlkey=v4kvs1wck9wa8kfb15y66aso6&dl=0 A bit disappointed I reached out to the dealership. There response: The car is CPO inspected and cleared but looks like this slipped through the cracks. We'll take care of it. Okay, no worries. I totally understand a laundry list of items slipped through the inspection. Nearly 3 months later the dealership resolved all the issues except for the brakes which make a loud squealing sound at low and high speeds once they warm up. Response from the dealership: The car is CPO inspected and cleared and the brakes are at 50% Frustrated and embarrassed by the car's squealing sounds, I reached out to Audi Canada and their response: The dealership said so and we can't help you. And here I am now sharing my experience for anyone else who might be considering a certified pre-owned vehicle. PS: The people are super nice. It's most likely bad process. More
