I purchased a 2013 Jetta TDI Diesel from Shawn Baron. I have all the routine service work done for the first 70,000 miles. That included the DSG transmission service at 40,000 miles. I knew there was some have all the routine service work done for the first 70,000 miles. That included the DSG transmission service at 40,000 miles. I knew there was something wrong with the car because my mpg went way down. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. At 80,000 I decided to do the DSG Transmission myself. The capacity should be 4 1/2 quarts of fluid. I had a friend with me when I drained The DSG transmission. I got 9 quarts out of it!!!! They probably never drained the original transmission fluid and added another 4 1/2 quarts. after I did my own service the car started driving well again and my fuel economy went back up. I was surprised that they did not blow my transmission due to their negligence! I called the service manager Melvin Ramos and asked who was the xxxxxx who put 9 quarts of transmission fluid in my car? He said he would follow up and get back to me. He never did The next time I came back to the service department for warranty work I produced the 5 gallon bucket with a 9 quarts of transmission fluid in it. The new xxxxxxx in the service department tried to suggest that I could’ve just put any oil in that bucket!!!! I told him that I had notified Melville Ramos at the time. And that he was supposed to follow up and did not. So this xxxxxxx basically accused me of trying to perpetrate a fraud! I am mediately asked to speak to the general manager four times that day. They made excuses and said he wasn’t available. This is a den of vipers and they should never be trusted by anyone! they are absolute low class people. More

the very model of rude service Brought non vw in for a second oil change. Anthony Piccolo, who id met before, appeared distracted. Sudenly the head of service, Edward J Merman, burs Brought non vw in for a second oil change. Anthony Piccolo, who id met before, appeared distracted. Sudenly the head of service, Edward J Merman, bursts in unannounced, accusing me of trying to take advantage of their vw vehicle special rate of 19.95, which I denied. VW oil is of the highest quality, so I wanted it for my BMW. Its that good. Later, I asked Mr. Merman what his problem was and we both had at it. I have now been effectively banned from this dealership, which I now consider a favor. That 19.95 oil change is just the lead in to much higher service costs. Im glad to be rid of this dealer. I also own a new Jetta, not bought here, but in the Carolinas. Prices there are much cheaper and I will find Long Island service although this is an expensive proposition. IMO, Huntington VW is very much in the tradition of Major and Siluppi. Buyer beware! More
