Two Weeks Later ... - ginko

I dropped off my Fiat 500x at the Fiat Bay Ridge service department for an oil change and the nightmare began. After 2 1/2 hours of waiting, I get my vehicle back. While driving back home I hear a rattling sound (clearly not there when I dropped off the car). I decide to bring the car back to have them check it out the mechanic scratched his head trying to understand where this noise was coming from. After a test drive he put the car on the lift and inspected it underneath, he decided I had bad motor mounts (now I'm scratching my head). I'm not a mechanic but common sense told me this was total xx. This car has only 16,000 miles, it's practically new and the motor mounts are already bad? The noise is metallic and only occurs when the car is up in temperature (I suspect that it may be the exhaust system). He never even bothered checking that and insisted the motor mounts needed to be replaced. OK, I say, after all, he is the mechanic. He then informs me the parts needed to be ordered and that they would call me when they arrived to schedule an appointment for the replacement. I waited for two weeks with no word and called them up. After being on hold for awhile they go ahead and tell me to bring in the car. I ask them "The parts arrived?" The rep told me "yes they did". I reply "You were supposed to call me when you had them and schedule an appointment, No?" The rep replies "Oh well we were going to...but you beat us to it”. My appointment day I brought the car in and my first question was how long is this going to take. The manager responds, "three to four days" That is OK I think to myself, but I really need a car so I politely ask for a loaner vehicle. That was not possible he replied but you can call FIAT customer service and they might be able to reimburse you for a rental. I finally rent a car and 5 days into it, still no word from the service department. I called them up and my rep Freddy tells me that the mechanic assigned to my car is working on an engine swap for a different car and has to finish that before taking mine on (that was the first warning sign). Why should I have to wait for that? Give me my car back and call me when the guy is available to do the job. This should have been my natural response. But I said OK, so when is he going to be done? Any day he replies. Three days later to my surprise Freddy calls me and informs me that one of the engine mounts they had received was the wrong kind and needed to re-order it. Yesterday Thursday, November 10th 2016 marked two weeks since I dropped off the car. I called Freddy and he nonchalantly tells me the part is still not in stock. This is when my patience dwindled. I told him I refuse to wait anymore time unless you give me a loaner vehicle. His response was sorry can't help you there. I told him, I’m done with you guys! I went and picked up my car, that is still NOT FIXED. The disheartening part here is that people like this are still in business and are not held accountable for treating customers like xxxx. Perhaps if enough of us (the customers) boycott them, they will eventually fail and justice will finally be served.

Brought my 2023 Honda Civic for an oil change and state - Vinny

Brought my 2023 Honda Civic for an oil change and state inspection and they even took care of a recall and had me out in less than 2 hours. Great service.

2015 Passat SEL service - Rohan B

My 2015 VW Passat SEL has 16,870 miles, in January 2018 I took the car in for service and Jerry Suarez assisted me. I returned again in April 2018 and was again assisted by Jerry Suarez. On both visits I am very satisfied with the work done and the manner which Jerry delivered the service. He kept me informed while waiting and just made the overall service experience above an beyond what I have received in the pass. I must say that I took my 2015 VM Passat to the other location where Jerry worked and I had the same satisfied experience. Kodos to Jerry for a consistent great service! Have a blessed day!

I have a 6 year old golf and this will be the last... - nonvwservicepatron

I have a 6 year old golf and this will be the last volkswagen I will ever purchase due to the sole fact that the service is absolutely the worst. I have been to a total of four different volkswagen dealerships for service and the only one that I a good experience with closed down due to cutbacks. Bayside VW, by far, wins the award for worst service. A check engine light (which I KNEW WAS BECAUSE OF ERROR CODES 16804 & P0420 - catalytic converter problems) resulted in over $3,000 worth of up-sell by the "VW Specialist", completely outside what I initially brought my car in for. The list is as follows: Rear Spring broken $445.00 Strut top and bearings $285.00 Sway bar bushings $130.00 Mid Muffler $375.00 Lower engine Shield missing $85.00 Coolent Flush $129.95 Brake Flush $129.95 Power Steering flush $129.95 06 Body throttle body service $215.95 timing belt $975.00 Major Service $475.95 I dont know what a 'major service' is but I do know that I've been going to a trusted mechanic and went to my mechanic 24 hours before taking it to the dealership because I wanted to verify the results of the dealership. Don't you think my mechanic would have told me that my rear spring was broken? Also, those that are not car savvy, any of those flushes listed above are basically NOT REQUIRED EVEN IF YOUR CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD. Needless to say, I withheld giving me the results of the check engine light by telling me "they're still working on it but I will need to know as soon as possible if you'd like the other work done so that we could finish everything". Once I declined the $3000 job, he said nothing was wrong with my car and they performed a "CAT WASH". WARNING: THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW YOU HAVE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM, THEY WILL MAKE YOU BRING YOUR CAR IN FOR TWO VISITS. FIRST WILL HAVE TO BE PAID. BE SURE NOT TO PAY FOR THE SECOND ONE EITHER BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I made the mistake of paying for the first visit, only to have my check engine light turn back on again less than 15 miles later. During my 2nd visit, I was not assigned to Warren but to Joe. As Joe seemed to want me out of there as quickly as possible, I heard Warren 'recommending' to a customer with a 2 year old VW that he needed a brake flush. FLUSH!? My lesson learned is that I will NEVER set foot in a VW dealership ever again. I will sell my car before setting foot in a VW dealership ever again. VW dealerships provide UNETHICAL, UNPROFESSIONAL, INEXPERIENCED 'SERVICE'. It's unfortunate that they are the ones that they say we should trust to provide us with their expertise knowledge about volkswagens.

AVOID THIS PLACE! - lennybronx

AVOID THIS PLACE!! The quality of service here is horrendous. I've been to their service department four times while having under 8,000 miles. -The first time was for an oil change when despite having an appointment, I was turned away by the service advisor(claimed to be the service manager at this time) Dominic because "Don't have time today. We're short staffed." - The second time was for the oil change where the service advisor Joseph helped me. While there, I also mentioned concerns regarding the brakes squeekng and the door panels rattling. I was told the service tech could hear the noises in the door from a likely manufacturing defect. The tech also heard the brakes squeeking and lubricated them and I was told to let them know if they were still squeezing after I drove for about a week. I was told to come back early so they could take the day to remove the panels and take a closer look. I made an appointment on the spot and was told to arrive at 7:30(the posted opening time on the front door of the service center) the following week. - The third time I arrived at 7:20 to shockingly find nobody around. I walked around inside the entire dealership and service area uninhibited; In and out of offices where personal financial information and car keys were laying around. I had quite a blast by myself and learned a lot about the dealership and the way it is foolishly run in that time I was alone. It wasn't until 7:45 someone arriving at the dealership for the day stopped and asked if I needed help. By 7:50 the service advisor Dominic arrived and told me that they actually opened at 8am despite what I was told by a service rep and despite what the posted hours of operation are. A service tech confirmed hearing the brakes squeezing and the door panels rattling. The lubricated the brakes, and I was told to make an appointment to come back early and give them the day to work on the door panels. 4th time is the charm I tell myself, I drop the car off at 8am and I'm told the usual by Dominic "I'll try to have it looked at but can't guarantee anything." Why do I bother make an appointment if you can't guarantee the vehicle will be looked at? When I return I'm told by Dominic and the service manager that they couldn't replicate the sounds. The previous technician literally lubricated the brakes because there was a sound and he confirmed the rattling but now I'm being told there is nothing they can do because they don't hear it and don't believe me. Because I waited until around 8,000 miles to report the annoying sound. They said they believed it was because I have tinted windows,(which shows the ignorance of the manager since they never removed the panels to apply the tints.) they said no other similar type of vehicle has these issues(I had to stop myself from explaining the definition of a factory defect to the idiot.) The service manager was rude, Dominic looked like he didn't give a care in the world during each interaction. I have a masters in business administration with a concentration in management and a certificate in international business. I've worked with the state government, federal government and with several financial institutions. Luckily for me, I can see the signs of poor and in some cases, illegal management and operation. Thankfully, I know who to contact regarding the rather shady operations at this business from the service advisor even right down to the finance manager. But others may not know, so I am writing this rather lengthy warning in hopes others will need my warning. I didn't have the patience to argue with the service manager or general manager at the time because I know how to handle this outside of the business but be warned now to whoever may be reading this.

Worst experience with a maintenance service. The owner... - cyn thia

Worst experience with a maintenance service. The owner Steve Cravotta lied to me and told me during 4 hours that my car would be ready in less than one hour. He became extremely rude when I asked him why my car was not ready after 5 hours waiting. I will not recommend this place to anyone and will never give them anymore business.

Great Sales! Service needs improving - JB

I purchased my vehicle 2 years ago today. Phil and Shelly were fantastic!! I got the minimum price I was willing to accept for my trade. They even threw in extras. The sales people were phenomenal!! Highly recommend for sales. Service on the other hand truly needs some work. You may want to go to another Subaru dealer for service. I have asked for well over 1-1/2 years for my mud flap and rivets to be looked at. I'm very busy and don't have time to sit and wait for the vehicle. Typically, I'm quickly dropping it off and leaving so my ride doesn't have to wait. When I arrive to pick up my car after work, they are closing in about 5 minutes. Yesterday, I mentioned after at least 4 requests, they still have not taken care of the mud flap, and after 3 requests, the rivets that fell off within first few months were finally replaced. They stated it was under warranty, then when I got to pick up my car, it wasn't done and they said it was $75 and not under warranty. My fiance reminded me that I mentioned the drivers side was loose when I took it to the first oil change. I assumed it was taken care of. Few months later, I noticed it was detached from 1 bolt that holds it to the car. I again mention it and continue to mention nearly every time, but still is not addressed. Another complaint, they never discuss anything about the vehicle. They don't mention what they have inspected or what needs to be done down the road or at next service. Every car dealership I have been to has always sat down with me and went line by line about what they inspected or will inspect next time. Not pleased with service department at all. Also, I had to go back for 3 days to get my car inspected because the machine was down. What an inconvenience for me and my coworker!! They could at least throw in a mudflap for the inconvenience!! Their cost with labor is $75, without is $40 as an accountant, I'm certain their cost of the mudflap is no more than $16. If the owner or salesperson I dealt with doesn't address, they will be losing a customer all together due to a mudflap.

Unacceptable Service. After purchasing our flying Spur... - apaseklo

Unacceptable Service. After purchasing our flying Spur Speed from Manhattan MotorCars we had it serviced for the outstanding items & it was returned to us with a broken front grill, dent in the back chrome bumper, dents in the door & cigarette burn in the leather seat. They continued to drop the ball ordering wrong parts and wasting my time so we cut our losses and have the car repaired at Bentley Parsippany who demonstrated exceptional service. We also sent 2 emails expressing our dissatisfaction to the GM and owner of Manhattan MotorCars & never even received a call back. Unacceptable!!!! I am just shocked with the lack of customer service Manhattan MotorCars provided & recommend to buy and service your car from Bentley Parsippany.
