liars and rip off artist -Service department-Marquis Brunson I purchased my Tiguan 2010 used with only 25,000 5 years ago. I had a positive experience with sale person James Parkhurst who was awesome. Everything I purchased my Tiguan 2010 used with only 25,000 5 years ago. I had a positive experience with sale person James Parkhurst who was awesome. Everything was going fine until the timing chain broke at 63,000 miles and destroyed my engine. Then I met Service manager Marquis Brunson who lies out his teeth and tried to blame me not the timing chain that has an open class action law suit right now with Volkswagen. The timing chain is non interference and when it breaks it destroys your entire engine but Marques Brunson will tell make up any lie he can and over charge you. At first he told me it would cost me close to 8,000 to fix my Tugaun but after calling corporate VW to complain about the treatment and lies I was being told the price went down to 3,700. About 2 months later after having the top half of my engine repaired here the engine light came on again after only 2,000 miles. I was told that they had to tear down my engine again and or get me a used one. I informed Mr. Brunson that I would be contacting corporate VW again to log a complaint. Then I was told by Mr. Brunson that he was not going to give me a used engine that I was going to have to have to pay for a new engine. After looking at all the bad reviews on this site I decided to go to Wappingers VW and get a diagnostic done to see if the results would be different. Well when the diagnostic was done the service manager brought me into the shop to show me that all the work kingston VW did was destroyed and nuts and bolts where loose from the poor repair job they did. I then was given a price for a new engine of 1,900 which was 50% less then what Mr. Brunson told me at Kingston VW. You see there is an extended warranty on my Tiguan because of the timing chain defect issue. I have provided this link here to save anyone the suffering and pain that Kingston VW has caused me.https://timingchainlitigation.com/ , I will never ever have my car repaired here again because not only was I lied to I was treated with disrespect from Mr. Brunson. I advice anyone if you want the truth about your Tiguan go to Wappingers VW. They will give you the truth and treat you with respect and roll out the red carpet for you. I left a message for the store owner in Kingston VW because I would like the return of the fee for the diagnostic test they did and Mr.Brunson feed me lies and tried to over charge me for repairs. I have yet to hear back from the store owner and I would be very surprised if I do. As I have received alot of feedback about this place and the horrible lies that the service department tells and or the horrible work they do on your car and then blame you for it.Never in my life have I ever been treated so horrible by a service department in my life or lied to . My advice is stay away from this place. More
BEWARE --- Do NOT send your car for service.... BEWARE ….. Paid 1,557.00 to have rear engine seal replaced in a 2010 CC because I had an oil leak …. Went to pick up my car AFTER paying, car was in BEWARE ….. Paid 1,557.00 to have rear engine seal replaced in a 2010 CC because I had an oil leak …. Went to pick up my car AFTER paying, car was in the parking lot with the engine in PIECES …. Nuts & bolts sitting under the hood … not to mention the LAKE OF OIL that spilled out as soon as the car was started! I just prepared letters to BBB and NYS Attorney General. The car was TOWED back to the dealership because it broke down driving it home and has been in their possession ever since because I REFUSE to pay $5,600 for a USED ENGINE ….When I said that I was NOT going to pay them any more money and I would rather pay a lawyer, Marquis Brunson, the service manager told me “do whatever you have to do!” So, that’s what I’m doing. I am warning everyone who is considering bringing their vehicle in for service. If anyone would like more information, I’ve got all the photos of my vehicle, timeline of all our communications and well as copies of our email correspondences …. I will gladly forward them to you. I am quickly approaching the 60 day mark …. And my car is still in THEIR POSSESSION….And the owner REFUSES to even call you as requested SEVERAL TIMES... More

Pleasant experience. Always a pleasure. We have purchased 5 VW Jettas and 4 of them were from Tammy Phillips. She always gives us great deals on the cars we purchase. I feel very comfortable We have purchased 5 VW Jettas and 4 of them were from Tammy Phillips. She always gives us great deals on the cars we purchase. I feel very comfortable when I walk into the dealership and see that Tammy is there. The dealership itself as a whole, works as as very well oiled machine She makes me feel I am part of the VW family and we feel she is part of ours. Tammy always gives me her undivided attention explaining each and every aspect of the car. And when it comes to servicing our VW's , Andre in the service department is superb. More
Friendly and Honest Repairs Our Tiguan needed major work and I was unsure what our extended warranty covered (or didn't). Amber went out of her way to let me know that we were co Our Tiguan needed major work and I was unsure what our extended warranty covered (or didn't). Amber went out of her way to let me know that we were covered; we paid almost nothing for an extensive repair job, which didn't take much time at all. We were also informed every step of the way on the car's progress. Just first-rate on every level. More
