Good Morning Mr. Schaffer, Your 2019 Jetta was brought to us after you scheduled an online appointment with the concern noted as, “Code: 164E – Need to resolve.” At the time of check-in, our team recommended diagnostic testing to properly identify the cause of the fault, and the diagnostic charge was reviewed and approved before the work was performed. During our testing, we used Volkswagen’s factory diagnostic equipment to perform an output test of the oil pressure regulation valve associated with fault code P164E. The testing confirmed that the valve was stuck open and not operating as intended. Based on those findings, we provided our recommended repair and associated cost, which you approved. We make every effort to be transparent about diagnostic and repair costs, and our diagnostic charges are clearly identified separately rather than incorporated into or concealed within the cost of a repair. We understand that customers may sometimes prefer to proceed directly with a specific repair rather than authorize diagnostic testing. If that is your preference in the future, we can discuss performing the requested repair without additional diagnostic work, with the understanding that you would assume the cost of that repair if the underlying concern is ultimately found to have a different cause. Our goal is always to provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision about your vehicle and the repairs being recommended. Sincerely, Ken Benton VW Service Manager

I had my car towed and my car wasn't able to be diagnosed with one, so I was charged for two. I have a two thousand eleven vehicle and the repair estimate was a little over three thousand which wasn't worth More

Hello Ms. Richardson, Your 2011 Jetta was towed into us from another service facility with a no-start condition after the oil was changed. We performed extensive diagnostics on the issue and ultimately needed additional time to find if the failure was within the electrical wiring harness or the engine control module. Rather than invest the time and money without you knowing the potential repair expense, we provided an estimate for either repair in full transparency so that you could evaluate if it was worth repairing your vehicle before we continued with the electrical testing. You agreed that the repairs were beyond the investment you wished to make on the vehicle. I am sorry that you were left with the decision not to repair your vehicle. If we can assist you any further, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team at 215-822-1361. Sincerely, Ken Benton Service Manager

I understand what you're saying, completely Mr. Benton. That conversation was discussed with you before being told to your facility. I don't believe that I was saying anything negative. Just told in a couple sentence as asked to explain my experience, I appreciate you guys taking a time with me through my health issues. Also, housing my vehicle while being in the hospital. I appreciate everything that was done. Continue doing the best that you can On vehicles that belongs to Volkswagen. Jess was very accommodating, and understanding my. Situation and I appreciate everything that was done. Thank you, and have a great day!!!!

Hello Pamella, Thank you for your recent visit to our Volkswagen Service Department. We're sorry to hear that the experience you received from another Volkswagen dealership was less than ideal. We appreciate that you've chosen to service at North Penn VW and look forward to many years of helping you with everything VW! You'll be happy to learn that VW recently revised their substitute transportation policy. We've double our fleet of loaners, and they're now available (first come, first serve) for ALL appointments! When scheduling via online portal, text, email or phone call, just request a service loaner and we'll happily provide one of our latest models for you to drive. There is no daily rental fee, we just ask that you bring the vehicle back in the same condition and replace the gas that you use. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Sincerely, Ken Benton VW Service Manager
