Audi Dealer Robocall TCPA Lawsuit Investigation

A TCPA lawsuit against Volkswagen and Peak Performance alleges that Volkswagen hired Peak Performance to try to win back lost customers—Audi owners who formerly had their cars serviced at an Audi dealership. Peak Performance, a customer-retention management company, promises on its website, “We return your lost customers with impressive efficiency,” according to the TCPA lawsuit.

The plaintiff alleges that starting in 2012, when his manufacturer’s warranty for his Audi expired, he stopped using the services of an Audi dealership. Soon thereafter, Peak Performance began repeatedly calling him on behalf of the Audi dealership to try to get his business back. They kept calling him throughout 2013, he says. These were robocalls, according to the plaintiff, because he heard dead air and a click when he answered, before finally be connected to a live person.

The plaintiff says that he gave his contact information to the Audi dealership when he was a customer for the sole purpose of “providing the dealership the ability to notify him when the servicing was complete.” He says that he did not provide prior express consent for them to use his phone number for telemarketing or “customer retention” purposes.
