That's unfortunate to read. Sounds like a bad dealer. I know it's hard to separate the experience at the dealer with your perception of the brand but keep in mind that virtually all of the German luxury dealerships are private, family-owned operations.

I think I must be one of the lucky ones when it comes to car dealerships. Both my local BMW and Mercedes dealers are outstanding. The CAs, SAs, SMs, and parts guys at both all know me on a first name basis.

My local Audi dealer, however, is a different story. I've been ignored for 20+ minutes there on a few occasions.
