To whom it may concern this review is to complain about vw of Huntington part of psd automotive group and the way they conduct business. I brought my 2016 vw touareg tdi to vw of Huntington for oil change vw of Huntington part of psd automotive group and the way they conduct business. I brought my 2016 vw touareg tdi to vw of Huntington for oil change and fuel filter replacement on 9/6/2024 with 37,359 miles on the odometer, on the way home which is 19 miles from the said dealership my car started to run rough. When i arrived at home i decided to have the fuel filter removed, upon removal of the fuel filter it was discovered that the fuel filter had NOT been replaced. At that point i decided to take an oil sample from the engine and have it sent to Blackstone Laboratories (a nationally known oil testing lab), upon receiving the report from Blackstone which took some time to complete. The report showed that the oil had NOT been changed. Please NOTE that the said vehicle has been in my garage since this discovery and to this date still has the 19 miles on the odometer that it took to get home from the said dealership. I realize that a significant amount of time has gone by. I had to deal with the passing of my late wife who died from cancer , this took a great toll on me. I feel that the dealership has committed a criminal offence by committing a theft of service act and according to some of the reviews on google this is not the first time the said dealership has done something like this. As well the owner of vw of Huntington Patrick dibre has also been accused of fraudulent activities as it relates to psd automotive group which owns vw of Huntington. The purpose of this review is not so much to get a refund which is over $400.00 , it is more to make people aware of vw of Huntington and its fraudulent ways and practices More

Very unprofessional, after waiting several hours for my turn to be checked out by the finance team on my purchase, Shawn decided that another Sales Specialist and his customer should go ahead of me.

Their finance team tried to force me to finance with them, stating they otherwise wouldn't sell the car. After negotiating different terms, their finance person made written changes to the documents, bu them, stating they otherwise wouldn't sell the car.

My fault for not making him change it in the computer and reprint. Sketchy and misleading practices. Stay away. More

Dishonest. Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave witho Anyone attempting to purchase a vehicle at this Huntington VW dealer, or their affiliate Smithtown VW, better turn the xxxx around and leave without the headache. Especially if you deal with Eli. Incompetent liar. If you're wise to their tactics you will find numerous ways that they try to screw you over. Bunch of losers from sales, to finance, and straight to the manager. I made a mistake of ordering my vehicle through VW's website to this dealer and was forced to relinquish my order because of their inflated in-house only financing rates, 7k over sticker on a car that I ordered b.s., and sneaky fake discounts they try to make you think that your getting while they essentially steal your State and Federal tax rebates from you by inflating the sticker price. Fyi for anyone that is still reading this, I sat down with that loser Eli on a Saturday worked out a deal that I was unhappy with and took notes every step of the way. On Monday I go to pick up the car and they raised the price on me by 2k without telling me. Seems like when I squeezed them up on my trade-in a couple grand, which by the way was nearly fair market value, they then increased the sticker price on me to compensate for that and I noticed at the finance desk. You have to look at their computer to see whats going on. Eli intentionally writes the order so that its barely comprehensible, supposedly reflecting that I'm paying 5K over sticker the price but in the computer system its different. Definitely take notes to compare at the end. I brought it to the Managers attention and he could have cared less. Would not honor the previously agreed upon 5k over sticker. "This is the price". He said I didnt know basic math. There isnt a auto loan calculator on the internet that could possibly figure out the monthly payment that they set up for me. Who the xxxx knows what else they were lying to me about. After this I had enough and walked out. Also note: Forget about getting your own loan. They will only allow financing through their affiliated banks in which they receive a kickback while screwing you over on the interest rate regardless of how good your credit is. Tell me that prime rate is 6%.. not a chance. I called my back and on speaker phone they said 4%. Extremely greedy. And... Shame on VW USA for setting up a pre-order system this bad. More

Their interactions were seriously d I have been VW customer for more than 13 years. Recently I visited to lease a new car and return the expiring one. Their interactions were seriously disrespectful. Asking for much higher monthly payment than the previous car. Moreover their tone was full of insult. Offered me a car of 8600 miles already driven, higher than March 2019 rate. They were saying April has no better deal than March 2019. But in the official website of VW can see different picture. I have 2 other cars from VW. Wishing to terminate the transactions with them.
