Reply to comment by [deleted] in Dealership repair trouble by DotAlyss

My dad has been bringing it there because it was bought there. I drive a different car now. Based on the state of my car now according to them, it's in worse condition then when it was brought in the day before. Are they allowed to break my car for free? The initial repair was $660 and now it's $3000 after 10 miles? Does that make any sense?

You're right. I just don't think most people have their cars break 10mi after leaving the repair shop. Also, logically, if the car needed $3k more worth of repairs to begin with, wouldn't it have made more sense the first time it was brought in? Why would the dealership forgo that potential cash If that was initially the case? Also, they have told my dad several times they don't know how to deal with Volkswagens.

I've told him to go elsewhere but he's old fashioned and I bought it from that dealer.

Also, I live in Dallas and my brothers use my car to go to their part time jobs in fort worth. I don't see the purpose in driving an hour and a half to get a car serviced that I don't use anymore.

You have an old German car. Those things break if you look at them the wrong way. Can’t really say they made it worse without any concrete evidence.

Ah, someone told me to check the error codes! They are different than before so I think they did fix it. They might have broke it in the other area to, but I can't prove that and it's fine if they did cause it's our fault for bringing it to them in the first place. As long as I can tell they fixed what they said they would, I'm all good! Lol. Thank you!!
