Description of the problem | My vehicle went to the audi fife dealership. Advised i needed a new engine. I tried to trade in the vehicle and i was advised that my car had -0-trade in value. They wouldn't accept on a trade-in. They said it was worthless. I towed the vehicle home and i noticed on my paperwork that the dealership completed "3" recalls without my permission or knowledge. I asked service why they completed these recalls on a worthless vehicle that i had to tow home. A vehicle the dealership didn't want. I found out that this dealership is collecting over $14,000 for recalls that i didn't authorize on a vehicle that they said was worthless. I can't even verify if the dealership actually did the recalls. This is an unethical practice for this dealership to tell me my vehicle is worthless without an engine; won't accept on a trade; towed my vehicle home but they collect $14,000. |
