These inept grease xxxxxxx CANNOT get anything done - VW JP dealership is the worst
These inept grease xxxxxxx CANNOT get anything done properly. There was an alternator issue and these clowns misdiagnosed saying its the battery after spending an hour and charging $200 for the diagnosis. Decided to get a second opinion and therefore took the car to another VW specialist who's been in the business for 30+ years. His opinion? The alternator. Oh and the crazy part? It literally took him about 10 minutes to conclude the diagnosis and he didn't even want to charge me anything for it. Took the car back to the dealership and because they said they can't properly diagnosis if its the alternator without replacing the battery (which absolutely made no sense as the other mechanic was able to deduce that the alternator was faulty without having to replace the battery), had no choice but to replace the battery (as the extended warranty I purchased with the car only covers works done at VW dealerships) and hope that the extended warranty would cover the battery cost under consequential damage. 3+ hours later, ALAS it's the alternator. Fortunately the extended warranty would cover the alternator, however, the battery would not be covered even if the damage is consequential. Alright, so let's get this done then. Alternator gets replaced days later. Then the fun starts. The car starts having oil leaks all of sudden. Mind you this has never happened before. Quite the coincidence eh? Decided to take the car back to the VW specialist instead of the dealership as he was far more honest and reliable. He checks the engine bay and guess what we found? A loose screw on the alternator. Another screw had already gone missing. The VW specialist then proceeded to tighten the remaining screw and found another in his shop to replace the missing one all free of charge once again. This was only a few days after the new alternator was installed by the dealership NOT months and certainly NOT years after. Please explain how this is even possible unless those clowns half-assed the work. Can't believe this is the quality of a $2500+ job. Reached out to those imbeciles immediately to get to the bottom of this substandard "work" only to be told that I would hear back from the service manager Jason. We had a long weekend coming up (first week of August) so I decided to wait until the next business day when he'd be in office - August 5th. Well, four full business days have passed since that man returned to office from his vacation and I've yet to receive ANY apology from these imbeciles for this deliberate, malicious negligence. Needless to say, I will never be taking my car back to anywhere that operates under the name jim pattison as they clearly lack any professionalism or qualification to deal with machines that have direct impact on people's safety. Next time your beloved VW breaks down, do yourself a favor and take it elsewhere.
