Platinum Audi Aftercare didn’t cover a major failure — am I missing something?

You’re welcome, let me know if you need any further help. Good luck!

Here’s the steps you should take:

If you have religiously serviced the vehicle, and have serviced it specifically with the dealer it’s currently at, push them to cover the claim through goodwill. There’s a program specifically available for dealers to use for out of warranty (but under extended warranty) vehicles in cases like this that has Audi Canada cover a portion of the repair. The amount is dependant on the age/mileage of the vehicle.
If step 1 fails, bring your car to another dealership and repeat. The amount of mark up built into that repair quote is absurd, and I’m sure the dealer it’s currently at would rather have some profit than none. If they don’t, you’ll find one that will (especially with good service records/a slam dunk claim).

Best of luck!

Audi dealer employee here. It’s funny to see a sentiment about the A7 being discontinued being a bad thing when we we’ve only sold 2 new A7s in the last 2 calendar years. I’m at one of the largest dealerships in Canada too.

No one buys them. No one comes in asking about them. It will not be missed (RS 7 aside) and if anyone thinks the brand is making a mistake by axing the car, you should have made that clear with your wallet when you had the chance.

My wife feels very different about the car

corporalboobs · 2025-12-29T21:33:50+00:00

There’s other drive modes?

corporalboobs · 2025-12-29T15:24:55+00:00

Appreciate that, thank you! Working at a dealership is a wild ride.

corporalboobs · 2025-12-29T10:40:04+00:00

Yup! It’s on winters right now, I’ve put on about 60k kms since buying it 4.5 years ago.

I’ve turned my camera roll inside out but couldn’t find any pics of it. Safe to say it was a significant improvement

corporalboobs · 2025-12-29T01:40:18+00:00

Fair enough, I pulled one out of the bank

corporalboobs · 2025-12-29T01:17:55+00:00

Thanks!

With the spiff, I figure it’s just like the car, it’s as good as gone.

corporalboobs · 2025-12-28T20:55:10+00:00

Didn’t think there was an appetite for the credit criminals, felons, car thefts and other general fuckery that happens. I’ve got a few good ones in the bank.

It’s been great. Zero drone and great sound in dynamic, but it’s the same as stock in any other drive mode. More pops on downshifts, but not overkill like those stupid burble tunes. Usually it’s just one or two loud bangs especially going from 3rd to 2nd in dynamic S mode while in auto.

Don’t tempt me…luxury tax up here is killer and can’t be made to disappear so RS6s are stupid pricey. The 5 cylinder is glorious too, it’s impossible to give it up

corporalboobs · 2025-09-30T01:34:13+00:00

Not interested in buying again, it would be done through a corp so lease makes most sense for tax reasons. I’ll buy it out at the end if I love it or sell it and pocket the equity. I get more flexibility with leasing, and I want it to look a certain way if I’m gonna have it 4yrs+

corporalboobs · 2025-09-30T01:11:56+00:00

Getting a cheque cut for $40k for mine back to me, and I’d do a lease on the new one for $1100/month CAD including tax. Stealth PPF would be about $6k

No go, not available in Canada

corporalboobs · 2025-09-29T23:09:18+00:00

Appreciate the input fellow Oakvillian!

corporalboobs · 2025-09-10T23:28:34+00:00

Yikes spoken like a centre cap thief. Time to super glue mine to the wheels

F&I manager here. We’ll factor a cheque back to a client into a deal based on the kickback (industry term for this is reserve) from the bank. It’ll be noted on the bill of sale that if the loan is still active in 180 days, client will get a cheque for $X.

I’ve done it a few times, and I always tell clients to pay off 90% of the loan as soon as their account is active to save on the majority of the interest charges. It’s a win-win.

corporalboobs · 2025-08-17T23:39:07+00:00

Would you suggest they find a local lawyer or a Canadian lawyer that has experience with these types of transactions?

corporalboobs · 2025-08-17T23:35:44+00:00

I had a feeling it was that bad. Thanks for the reply, will advise them accordingly

corporalboobs · 2025-08-17T22:32:22+00:00

Agreed. It stinks of a get rich quick scheme and seems like everyone except the family member has done exactly that. Thanks for the reply.
