An Audi owner says a minor service appointment escalated into a $38,000 engine-replacement estimate after his vehicle allegedly accumulated nearly 40 miles driven while the engine was overheating. But he says he’s not responsible.
In his TikTok post, Nickkomodina begins, “Y’all ready for the craziest car story ever?” before explaining he brought his Audi to the dealership after a simple warning light appeared. According to him, Audi reached out with reassuring news: He says the dealership texted him, “Everything’s good to go. It was just a hose leak, the coolant’s fine. You can come pick it up. No big deal.” But the next day, when he messaged to ask whether he could pick up the car, the message changed.
