I have been bringing my car here for about three years to be serviced. They actually removed the tint from my window. Following, the lining of the car ceiling began to get bubble and sag. They took no responsibility. The car interior looks like an Arabian nights tent! I was not happy.
They are an upscale, full service dealership. They have a swag shop for those who take their VW ownership to the next level. They also have a nice waiting room, car loaners and even a "shuttle". which I am currently waiting on to take me home.
This is what brings me here today...
Four days ago the check engine light popped up on my older VW. Like anyone on a limited budget, I was mortified!
The dealer is the last place I wanted to go, but as I recalled their pricing was fairly transparent. Once they tell you exactly what the issue is -- if you get it repaired here -- the diagnostic costs is deducted. Also the probability that the parts are on hand is much higher. I need my car, and waiting on car parts for repairs isn't ideal.
Still I wait here, hoping and praying that there is no price gauging or flim-flamery in my future with Hendricks Volkswagen. I will certainly Yelp about it either way later.
Now... Is later.
What an ordeal! If you know how it feels to be a valued customer, take that experience and invert it. The price I had been quoted was cost prohibitive, and I am absolutely certain I can get a better price.
Basically...
My call(s) weren't returned, shuttle service wasn't available as readily as I was told. The services were not what was discussed on the phone with the service operator. There was a mix up with the car keys when I picked up my car. I was there several times today for over an hour each time.
My husband and I will be in the market for a new car soon, but we won't get it here. read more
