Los Angeles Audi Dealerships

My parents just picked up a 2010 V10 R8 and they havent picked a dealership yet. Got it today from an auction.

Are the R8s like GTRs/Evos where you want to make sure to pick a competent dealership?

They are located in 91356 california so if anyone has any knowledge on dealerships in this area that are worthy of bringing the R8 to, please let me know!

They should have bought this WHITE V10.

2010 V10 Ibis White coupe 6spd **LOADED**

Whynot just google the closest Audi dealership? Should be fine.

My personal experience is that the Audi service guys are great with the routine service but have a difficult time diagnosis and correcting problems. I'm guessing that this is because a limited number of techs are certified to work in each dealership so there's not much cross pollination on the R8 and there isn't a lot of individual experience in handling problems compared to the Porsche techs with years and years of experience and hundreds of cars under their belts.

Agree with NVRL8R8 to try the closest dealer first. If there's a tough diagnostic problem, Audi flies someone in anyway. They just keep your car a long time but you get a loaner. I've had extensive use of a S8 which was a nice change of pace.

Thanks guys.

I'll let them know it will be safe. I just wondered because I know a lot of dealerships in the Evo and GTR world are known for having ****ty ass techs who know less about the car then the owner. I figured the R8 could be the same way but sounds like not?

Not all Audi Dealerships in USA are R8 Certified. Check on the AudiUSA.com website, there is a dealer finder somewhere on the site which allows you to select only R8 Certified dealers.

Hi here,

We bought an S5 from Ruskin. They were GREAT.

I talked to them about r8 recently and they claim they are the largest r8 dealer in the country so I would suspect they would be good for service.

There is another Audi dealer in that general area, the name escapes me at the moment (I think it was in Thousand Oaks), that I did not like at all while we were shopping for the s5.

Also...go to the audi site and dealer locator. There is a check box for r8 authorized dealers! Jeff

I really like the service department at Penske Audi West Covina. Chris (service advisor) and Bobby (R8 Tech) take GREAT care of my car.

Stay clear of Auto Galley Woodland Hills. Horrendous service department! Worst, ever... Heard good things about Rusnak.

Ya, Auto Galley is the one I couldn't remember. STAY AWAY. enough said. We had a GREAT experience with Rusnak. That's where we purchased the S5. My son just had it serviced at Mission Veijo and they were very good. Jeff
