We had the greatest sales guy - Super Dave, seriously...ask for him. And Sarah at Service desk is great too. As for Volkswagen as a whole and the actual service department here? Lackluster. I recently had to have a ton of work done on my 2022 Volkswagen because of a manufacturer defect, literally all the oil blew out of the car at highway speeds which pushed the valve seals up and cracked the oil pan. Scary, right? Patrick said they couldn't even see us to diagnose for 3 weeks so we paid to tow the car to Westborough Volkswagen to get "fixed". SO fast foward 3 weeks I had to have my 40k service done at Patrick (to keep warranty) and was expecting to hear something about the burned oil in my air intake (you can see it when you change the engine air filter) and they cleaned some off the box...)and condtion of the oil in general even though it had less than 1k on it (looked and smelled burnt when I checked it before bringing it into service.) BUT NOPE. Apparently everything checked out great despite the car driving like a 8 year old holding the gear too long on a dirtbike. Seriously, my Camshaft/Crankshaft ratio is off 64% of the time, Open/Close Camshaft Angles are off, Timing advance is off, fuel trim isn't happy...all this makes for a rough ride. Not sure how I feel about the vibrating drivers seat at idle, im trying to pretend it's a massage feature but anyway, I was sure they'd say something about the poor driveability and rough idle when you're billed nearly a grand for a FULL check & service, I was wrong. They said it was good? Same thing Westborough said after "fixing" the car..."great engine"
OH - and surprise...they get you for sparkplugs at 40k now instead of the factory spec of 80k. Found that out at the end. So all in all - you've got some great people at Patrick but Volkswagen as a whole is a different story.
