The Audi dealership in Cherry Hill NJ charged for the diagnostic and never revealed the severity of the problem. They gave my wife a crankshaft sensor repair cost over $3000, without further explanation. Then they let her start and drive the car for a second opinion, knowing that this action will destroy the engine. Now they claim that she refused the repair, which is a blatant lie! After she drove 10mi, the timing chain must have skipped further and the engine is destroyed! Unacceptable treatment by these scumbags.
