Schedule Your Vehicle Inspection

Before turning in vehicle, you will need to have a third party inspect your vehicle for excess wear. You can schedule an inspection appointment by logging in to AudiFS.com/myaccount or by calling the inspection company, SGS, at (855) 237-1504. Appointments are available Monday - Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and can be scheduled at your home or work, as long as someone 18 years or older is present.

During the inspection, an SGS agent will evaluate your vehicle for any excess wear and use. Upon completion, you will receive an inspection condition report, which itemizes any excess wear. To view a sample of this report, log in to AudiFS.com/myaccount. Any excess wear will be billed on your Turn-In Settlement Invoice (unless you choose to repair the items at our Audi Service Center prior to turn-in).

If repairs are completed, please email the receipt along with proof of payment to RepairReceipt@AudiFS.com or fax to (800) 824-8284 before returning the vehicle-this will allow time to adjust your Turn-In Settlement Invoice. If you have any questions regarding the inspection process, you can always call us at 843-962-9517.
