We bought a New 97 Passat TDI, A New Jetta GT my sons, which he totaled
out , he then bought a 98 Golf GTI VR6, just like the drivers addition
that was sold in 98. they had a very good sales man, Service manager,
service tech and parts guy.
The service manager left, sales man, techs, parts guy was still there.
We later bought a 01 Golf TDI from someone else/
They did the "improved thing" too, make appointments. I almost got in a
fight with the NEW service manager, the GM took his side we were just
trying to get a power window fix or a least moved up into the closed
position so rain didn't get in the car. It didn't matter that we had
bought over $60, 000 in less than a year with them. We never went back.
Warranty work was done else where. The dealership kept going down. They
had to sell out. Went from a #1 rated service department to s&*t.
There is a VW forum, that has a lot of Houston VW people on it and the
complaints only got worse, Several of us VWONA
,they could not help because the dealerships were not owned by them. BS
GM doesn't do that, and I am sure others don't. Except Saturn and that's
a whole other story.
