Miramar Audi Service Review

Recently I ran into a dilemma... I was sitting in the driver's seat of the Q7 and removing the SD card out of my camera.  Well, the card slipped through my fingertips and fell into that little crack in between the seat and center console.  I searched and searched, but could not find it… 

Sidenote:  I'm thinking about buying one of these Drop Stop seat wedges so I never have this problem again!

If there hadn't been important pictures on the card (like the A4 pictures I'm supposed to post here), I would have just let it go.  However, I really needed that SD card and it was lost in a little black hole under the seat.

So I went to the Miramar Audi Service department here in San Diego and pleaded my case…

I told one of the very nice service consultants, Jack Myers, that they were probably going to have to take the seat out of the car in order to find the card. He told me that it might take awhile because they had a few cars in - maybe half a day. I had no problem with that being that I could just sit in their waiting room and work.

Below is the desk Jack let me use to do my work. It was funny because people who walked through the back door thought I worked there and was asking me questions…


Well, a little over an hour later Jack appeared with SD card. I bowed to him and kissed his feet - well, not quite, but I wanted to! And a little while later I was back in the chariot…

So I write this as a BIG Thank You to Jack and the guys at Miramar Audi ;)

Speaking of which, Miramar Audi is getting a huge makeover this year. Another service consultant at the dealership, Dominie Long, told me that Miramar Audi is set to become a flagship showroom in January 2011.

Here is a short clip that shows what the showroom and outside of the dealership look like right now. I also included a picture at the end of the clip of what it will look like when it’s finished…

I recently went into an Audi Dealership, in Edmonton Alberta. Walked around the parking lot, looking at different models, went into the showroom to do the same. Over an hour went by and no one had approached me to help, I went back inside for a third time and walk up to a gentlemen in a suit and asked, "if there were any salesmen?", he replied, " I'm a salesman". I thought in my head, interesting view on how to sell cars, never approach a customer. So we got into a conversation, and about 20 minutes went by, and I've had it!! Never met someone so rude, and so not wanting to sell a car, he was trying to talk me out of it!... Never judge a book by its cover, when your in Alberta, you never know who has money!

On his card it said, Sales Specialist. I went in a couple days after, talked to someone else, got approval to buy an R8 and said I changed my mind, because of that guy.
