As the days went on it became horrible.<br><br>When my warranty is running out, they adviced me to buy the Extended warranty from them. The was good. As the days went on it became horrible.<br><br>When my warranty is running out, they adviced me to buy the Extended warranty from them. They said their extended warranty is just like the manufacturer's warranty. I got that believing these guys.<br>When I went to Service my car they started talking about all sorts of charges. Reason : MY car is under EXTENDED WARRANTY. I remainded them about what they said while I was shopping around for Extended warranty. They just blinked their eyes.<br><br>Horrible showroom. They better learn how to treat the customers.<br><br>They also have to improve service department. More

I don't think I ever had a good experience when I brought a car in for service, so this place does not necessarily stand out, but I still wanted to share my experience.<br>I bought my 98 Golf GL used from th a car in for service, so this place does not necessarily stand out, but I still wanted to share my experience.<br>I bought my 98 Golf GL used from the owner in 2000. The car had originally been purchased from Boston VW. I had been dealing with the check engine light coming on for a while when I decided to have it fixed in May 2004. I was told that the car needed some new vacuum hoses, an engine breather valve and potentially a new throttle body housing, approx. $800 worth of parts and labor. I got away without the new throttle body housing, still paid around $400 and the check engine light was on again on the way home. They said they had cleaned the throttle body.<br>Now, 3 month later with the check engine light still on the car failed the emission test and I took things in my own hands. I cleaned the throttle body myself (it did not look like anybody had touched it recently), a 10 minute job with a $2.50 throttle body cleaner spray from the store and my old toothbrush, reset the computer and voilá, the check engine light is off.<br>The customer service staff did not deal well with my complaints. In some places they weasel themselves out of a sticky situation by becoming overly friendly and accomodating. Here they just became aggressive, interrupted me while I was explaining etc. I will not return, even if I have to drive twice as far for service. More
