Service history on my new beetle in this dealer: $800 to... - wkqe03a

Service history on my new beetle in this dealer: $800 to fix airbag indicator yellow light. The light came back two weeks later and it was not under the work warrant because it was not the same problem. $500 to replace transmission seal but still see slow leaking one month after the repair work. More scatches on dash covers , steer wheel and door panels after each oil change (new interior became worn interior after oil changes). Oil level extremely low (no oil on dip stick) one week after oil change at one time. After an oil change, radio (both AM and FM) recieves no signal and make very load noise. Service advisor comment: It is normal for VW in this area, Escondido, CA. Somehow, It gets signal again four years later after a battery change in Murriata VW dealer, CA.

I’m very disappointed in the service I received from - joshsnook

I’m very disappointed in the service I received from Coastline Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and their actions have caused me to question the ethics and integrity of their service department. I’ll elaborate below but mostly want to alert and caution folks from using the dealership’s Parts & Service Department. My 2025 Ram 1500 was having trouble starting, which prompted me to take it in for service. The check-in process took 20 minutes and included a physical inspection and video being recorded of my vehicle to document its condition. After my vehicle spent two days in service, Service Representative, Jay, called to inform me that although the starting issue was resolved, one of the tires became flat. Jay stated a “nail” was found in one of the tires and claimed this wouldn’t have been due to their dealership since they don’t use nails. He also stated the vehicle had the same mileage as when I dropped it off, so it hadn’t been taken for any “joy rides” and their service department wouldn’t have caused the flat. The dealership put on the spare and although I asked if they would help plug, patch, or replace the punctured tire, they would not and said they did not believe the flat could have happened while they completed their service work. While on the phone with Jay and reminding him that no flat tire or signs or lower tire pressure were identified during the physical inspection and in the video which is why i believed the dealership should take some accountability, After sensing my frustration on the phone, Jay responded by telling me I should “ maybe take the vehicle to the dealership it was purchased from” in the future. Upon picking up my vehicle on Friday at the dealership and reviewing the scope of work on my invoice, the dealership listed the vehicle had been “road tested”. I asked the Service Rep, Fabian, what this meant and whether "road tested" was automatically added to an invoice by default. Fabian assured me “road tested” is never automatically added and a service tech would have manually added this after the vehicle was “road tested”. Fabian also informed me that “road tested” means the vehicle is driven for approximately 10 miles. In addition, when we looked at the flat tire, there was a new Phillips head screw (not a nail), which Fabian said is a screw that regularly gets used by the service department. Fabian also pulled up the video of my vehicle’s physical inspection when checking in, and he did not see any indication of a low-pressured or flat tire. Fabian agreed that what Jay stated (i.e., a nail was in the tire and the vehicle was leaving the service dept with the same mileage as when I dropped it off) did not align with what he saw (i.e., the new Phillips head screw found in the tire and “road tested vehicle” listed on the invoice). I was told that a Service Manager would follow up with me on Monday to resolve the situation. Although it's now been more than a week and I've left a follow-up message requesting to speak with a manager, no one has responded. The lack of follow-up is frustrating but I’m also questioning the ethics and integrity of the Service Department after what was stated on my recorded call (nail in the tire and no miles were driven on the vehicle during its service) did not align with what’s listed on the invoice and seen in the tire (vehicle was road tested, and the tire puncture was with new Phillips head screw). I don't know whether this is technically fraud, but it’s highly suspicious at best. It's caused me to seriously question the service department’s ethics and integrity and the main reason I will not go back for future service. I normally value learning about people’s experiences to help me find a trustworthy service department and technician. This is why I’m posting the review to caution anyone from bringing your vehicle to Coastline Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for service.
