It's not lowered. Maybe just the picture angle.

It only took 8 months and it's not even perfect. But there is no way in hell that I'm bringing it back to that shop

^^^^. I’m sorry, what exactly did you have done ?

Nothing just what the insurance company paid for. I had a super high deductible so I brought it to a friend's shop to get a little bit of help on the deductible end. They had it for 8 months forged my signature on one of the checks. Continually lied to the insurance adjusters and me. They had the car longer than I had it I got hit the night after I bought it and it was a hit and run. 8 months of paying for rent a car out of my own pocket to the tune of Seven Grand. I'm just glad I have it back now now to fix all the s*** they f***** up.

Man I am so sorry to see this and sadly it happens too often during these “ friends “ types of deal.

I just took it to the gas station for the first time. Needless to say I'm getting ready to jump out and let it run over my head. Every time I go below 5 miles an hour it starts screaming thinking there's something in front of us obviously one of the sensors in the front is f***** up. And the whole passenger side of the car had to be replaced that's where I was hit. It used to be quiet in the car it sounds like the windows down now. It's not sealing up I just keep finding little things wrong here and there. Pretty much getting ready to cry right now LOL just happy I meet with my lawyer next week

Anyone who has had a bad car accident can commiserate with your anguish. That happened to me after a driver getting his cell phone that had fallen to the passenger side footwell T-boned my 2 month old Audi S4.
Three months in the shop and the doors never shut the same. It's doesn't sound as bad as your repairs as this was before there were cameras and sensors in cars.

I grew so frustrated I took to a dealer and traded it. I didn't want to do a private sale because of the issues. The dealer sold it the next day but added an Audi Certified guarantee with the sale to cover any future problems. I had a clean conscious.

If your car is going to become an aggravation, maybe a dealer trade is in the future. Driving the S5 should put a smile on your face, not give you an ulcer.

So I finally drove the car to work this morning keep in mind I haven't driven it for longer than maybe 15 minutes since I picked it up. Get on the highway up to 85 miles an hour start hearing a noise so I turn the radio down. And realized that the whole underside of the car is dragging down the highway. One of the reasons it was in the shop was because myself and eight other people ran over someone's trailer hitch in the middle of the highway it should have all been fixed unfortunately I guess it wasn't. Definitely not $12,000 worth of repairs in 8 months.

Hi there,

I recently bought MY2018 S5 Cabriolet and would like to share some of the pics of my S5. The body color is glacier-white metallic and brown top, with only 12K kilometers (7.5K miles). Also, the S5 has plenty of options, which include navigation, B&O audio, sport rear differential, virtual cockpit, navigation, various safety assistant options, head-up display (not practical daytime) as well as Audi exclusive interior.
