    Angry Audi Palo Alto Technician Joyriding In A Customer's Car & Allegedly Doing Cocaine!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Have you ever taken your car in for servicing and found something amiss with it afterward? Even if you have, you’ve hopefully experienced nothing like what one Audi owner went through when he found traces of a mysterious white powder found in the seams of his car’s seats after picking it up from the Audi Palo Alto servicing center. But the true horror came when he checked his dashboard camera’s video and learned that the service technician seems to have snorted cocaine in his car before taking it on a joyride.

    Maybe he'll finally get that promotion he deserves?

    Other than the potential snorting of cocaine, the video does not show the car was driven at excessive speeds. 77 MPH was the highest I saw, and that was the flow of traffic.

    What a F'ing idiot!! I wonder what Audi of Palo Alto's response was to this? Not only should he be fired, he should be crimminally charged with possesion and consumption of an illegal substance, driving under the influence and reckless driving. Then he should have his ass kicked by every Audi owner that gets mad watching this.

    Glad the ownwer had his dashcam installed and operational to catch the jack wad. I leave mine running all the time too and pray NOT to see something like this. I would be the one going to jail!!

    Most service techs wouldn't be capable of driving my car any harder than I do, haha... Have fun! :)

    What about the random launch in the middle of the street?
    In other words, you are okay with a tech doing that with your car?

    Omfg! As soon he said "this is gonna be fun" , he deserved a punch in his face. I would be pissed beyond belief if this happened to me. I remember a member posting about the tech taking their car home overnight. Fucking ridiculous!

    Is that workshop typical of a US dealers premises? It's a dump.

    UK dealer workshops are like operating theatres!

    Most people would, and do. Simply because of the principle. That being said, the driving was not the main issue here. It's the fact that an Audi Technician snorted cocaine IN HIS CAR and proceeded to drive while high. The owner mentioned that there was cocaine spilled in his car, too.

    Insane.

    No, this is not the norm by any means. This particular dealer is in the process of a remodel/construction project so it's just a temporary expansion.

    Haha. No. We have pretty neat and beautiful service areas here at the dealerships. I have seen one that was mediocre but the dealership was getting renovated. And now they are like a fuckin palace.

    Imagine getting pulled over and then busted for some blow in the crack of your seat and you honestly have no idea how it got there. Eeeeek.

    haha, i guess you missed the speed limit sign of 25mph. also, that road was 35mph max before the highway which reduced to 25 around the corner.

    In general I'm very calm and mild mannered even when I am very upset but this incident would make me screaming and swearing to everyone at that dealership from SA to owner.

    I totally agree with you, if I bring my car to a dealer for service and for the price I'm paying I want them to be professional and act accordingly.

    With something like this, I wonder what "resolution" the dealer will come to. Other than firing that jackass, first of all.
