What if the OP had just moved to the area from some far off state? Would he be expected to have his car serviced where he bought it? Of course not. The dealer is compensated by the factory for warranty work. Dealers who threaten owners with poor service if they do not purchase the car from them should be disciplined by Audi. All Audi dealers represent the Brand and because of this should bend over backwards to treat Audi customers well.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be early production? My 2010 Q5 has a build date of July 2009, I picked it up in August. I didn't see the model year of the OP's Q5, just that it was built in June '09.

Any Audi dealer should have taken care of the original poster's problem regardless of where it was purchased. As for the loaner , even if they did not have one, certainly they could have arranged one through Enterprise or similar. What if the OP had just moved to the area from some far off state? Would he be expected to have his car serviced where he bought it? Of course not. The dealer is compensated by the factory for warranty work. Dealers who threaten owners with poor service if they do not purchase the car from them should be disciplined by Audi.

I agree 100%; or what if you are traveling out of state?
I could be totally wrong here, but I thought that a loaner is part of what you get when you are leasing/buying an Audi (or most any new car)?

Not all new cars or car dealers offer loaners, in fact, most non-luxury brands do not. I search the Audi USA site and it doesn’t state that a loaner id guarantee. Last minute loaners are pot luck at best with any dealer regardless of brand.

The MY 10s only started to arrive in July of 09. perhaps there is confusion between production and arrival.
