My car is going in for turbo replacement, which obviously takes a while, how do I get the dealer to give me a loaner car?

my dealer (brookline) gives loaners as long as you bought the car there and schedule ahead of time. although the only thing i have had is a POS slushbox jetta. are they giving you warranty problems?

to get your complimentary rental while your manufacturer defect is being fixed while you drive a lesser vehicle. You get a rental when you oil is being changed! If your rep gives you any crap about it...that means the owner of the dealer is being super cheap...and I would switch dealers...even if it meant driving further away.

well, even a POS jetta is better than nothing, the bike is fine, except when it rains like it did this weekend, hell I spun my rear wheel this morning in a turn when I went over a crosswalk white line

Dealers do not make much money on warranty claims...also...if they can't find anything wrong...can't duplicate...they don't get paid anything...even if they diagnosed for 4-5 hours. They are trying to change the policy in my locale...maybe this is a national thing...I dunno. I heard that they are considering giving you an Audi for a loaner car. Most Audi dealers already give A8/S8 owners...an A6 loaner. Hell, the President of my company got an A6 4.2 loaner when his TT was in for the wing retrofit on his car. I have been to my dealer tons of times...with my A4..my S4 sedan..and now my S4 Avant...most of the time I get a voucher for $29 at Enterprise rent-a-car...I never take the $29 car offered...I always pay to get a better class car...usually another $6/day.
It is true that you get better treatment at a dealer if you also BOUGHT at that dealer.

Its the policy of every other ****bucket car brand. Audis policy is to reimburse drivers up to $30 a day for a rental car for warranty work that takes longer than a day. Most dealers will loan you one of theirs but not all.
