f it’s up to me I will give them zero starts. - parmaranmol10

f it’s up to me I will give them zero starts. I have the worst service experience. My 2016 Senta Fe had an engine replaced recently from this place. When I went to pick up my car after the engine replacement my driver side mirror was damaged, My car had scratches all over and there was rear bumper damage. And this is not the first time this happened to my car. My car got hit 3 times in there dealership. The staff, service rep, manager is clueless. The dealership doesn’t provide with any loaner vehicle. I am paying for Uber and Lyft everyday to go to work and the dealership is not reimbursing me. It’s been more then 3 months I spend over $2000 in commute and they still have my car. After the engine replacement I didn’t get to test drive the car. The new manager is so unprofessional and he have no idea what’s going on at the dealership. Every time I ask him questions he tells me I will speak to my higher authorities and never gets back to me. When I saw the damages on my car The new manager refused to fix it and he started blaming all the damages on me then the service rep brought in the paperwork which showed when I dropped the car at there dealership it had no damages at all. When I asked the new manager to give me a copy of that document he said I will email you the copy by 5pm I called him back and he said I can’t give you a copy it’s legal document. After reviewing the paperwork he tells me that we will fix the car but the way he said it it sounded like he was doing a favor to me. The old manager was so nice and helpful I think his name was Peter. He always helped me with my concerns. I reported my concern to the Hyundai case manager and there dealership in Bayside.

Excellent, Professional Service - Vee

The service provided at Van Buren Buick service center is EXCELLENT. The staff are professional, courteous and conscience of your time. I have been to this service center twice without an appointment and each time they did their best to accommodate me and get me back on the road in an hour. By far the best!

A very bad experience - favored1

On a long distance road trip our 2004 Volkswagen Touareg broke down on a Friday in Maryland. We had it towed to a dealer in Virginia which was the closest dealer to a friend of ours where we would stay the night because we had no way to get home. The dealer was Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles. They couldn’t look at the car until Tuesday, it took until Wednesday for us to find out what was wrong with the car. They claimed they were calling us and we didn’t receive any calls. We recorded our phone number numerous times with them (which was still not correct on the work order when we picked up the car). We were informed that both gas pumps needed to be replaced. We were quoted a price and told them to go ahead and do the job. When we picked up the car on June 24th 2015 the bill was significantly higher than what was quoted. The service advisor didn’t quote us the tax and the manager ended up waiving that. My husband asked them if the filter was changed when the gas pumps were replaced because we were concerned about contaminated gas. We were told “yes that is part of the pump”. We drove back to NYC that night. On August 30th 2015 I was alone in the car with our infant son and the car looses power as I’m driving down the highway. Thankfully I got off the highway safely before it died and once it stopped it wouldn’t restart. We had it towed to Bayside Volkswagen here in Great Neck, NY. We were called and told that both gas pumps needed to be replaced. We showed them that this was already done in June and were told by David Nosovsky that they don’t honor VW’s warranty from another VW dealer. He showed my husband a work order and if my husband had re-paid for the same job they would’ve replaced the gas pumps with no question. He stated that the invoice from Lindsay VW didn’t list the falange and that they always change it when the pumps are replaced. We called Paul Boots at Lindsay VW who called them and explained these are under warranty and that they should be replaced as such. Paul Boots also communicated to me that they don’t replace falanges and that it’s an up charge to the customer that isn’t necessary. David then calls my husband to have him authorize 5 hours of diagnostic testing to “make sure” it’s really the gas pumps. We refused to authorize such charges as it was $130.00 an hour for their time. The only manager available at Bayside that day was Charlie the parts manager who spoke with me and after researching the incident called and stated Bayside would eat the cost of the diagnostic testing. Calls were made to Paul Boots again and Jerrey Holloway at Lindsay VW. The next day I get a call informing me that it was a loose hose which they re-connected and that Lindsay VW was covering the cost of the work. Nothing was replaced. On Friday October 9th, 2015 the Touareg stalls in the middle of an intersection and failed to start again, with our family in it. It took 8 men to help push it out of the intersection into a safe place. We had it towed back to Bayside VW. When we got a call on Tuesday they informed us the gas pumps failed and one needed to be replaced. This time they would contact VW to cover it under warranty. They stated the falange HAD to be replaced and the cost was over $500.00. They stated it cannot be used again as the hose will not reconnect to it. I called Paul Boots at Lindsay VW and he stated they won’t be responsible for anything needing repair. I called the VW customer advocate line and got a case #. The next day I heard nothing so we called Bayside VW and negotiated that we would pay the part but not labor. They agreed. The VW customer advocate called late that day and stated that unfortunately they can’t hold Lindsay VW responsible for the work they did. Even though it’s obvious it wasn’t done right when the car died twice with confirmation of the same issue they “fixed”. When I picked up the vehicle, the invoice stated falange/filter. This is the part we paid for. There are no filters in the pumps. The Filter is housed in the falange. We were told this was replaced when we picked up the car from Lindsay VW and it was not. All of these problems occurred due to an insufficient repair. And the only person that has suffered is our family, being stuck twice when the gas pumps failed, having paid to tow it multiple times and being without our car for a week each time. No one has tried to right this wrong and I am utterly disappointed in VW service and workmanship.
