Royston8 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I found Drift Bridge Epsom, well below average. I used to service my Mk3 Golf & VR6 Corrado there, found the service staff to be rude, kept you waiting without even acknowledging the fact that you were there & expensive. Other problems? Tried telling me that a faulty clutch in a 6month old car on 6k miles was my problem? Left my Corrado with 2k ICE install unlocked overnight in their unsecured carpark. Lastly drove 1 mile down the road after a service to find leaking water, they had left one of the water pipes un-connected....dreadful, but then again that is in my opinion & haven't used them in 4yrs so may have improved. I now use John Ashley in New Malden, polite, knowledgeable, they even did my 6463 update when I turned up 12.20pm on a Saturday afternoon - they were due to close at 1pm.

StevenTubby Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Is this format gonna work? After all one mans hero may be another mans zero. But while we are on the subject I am not too impressed with Martins of Basingstoke so far, and it looks like they are headed for the top of the zeros list.

[/ QUOTE ] ....Well, it's only a rough guide. I see your point - For example, my experience of VW UK would put them on the HEROES list. It's interesting what the size difference is between the lists - 60/40 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying that, when I had problems with my DSG they couldn't of been more helpful. Maybe it was because I was talking about rejecting it if it wasn't fixed. AND one more thing........ A friend of mine has a TD GTI Mk4 Golf and has it serviced every year by the book. This year (Yr 4) is the big one, Big service, MOT, break fluid, cam belt, total cost over £740 plus £15 insurance cost for Loan/service car. Now it's out of warranty he rang round and found a VW approved service center in Hull that would only charge £600 for all the above work. He them rang VW Priory Pk to cancel his booking and guess what ................................. YES..... They could price match ....... Now I know who pays for the cleaner to follow you wiping the floor as you walk around the show room ..................... martininwillerby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I disagree with VWuk in its entirity comment, VW uk Customer service, Aftersales care and Senior Management chain is abysmal and show no concern for the customer whatso ever. THe marketting guys can be very helpful, as can some of the brand managers. Wayside Milton Keynes are total w@nkers, the service contact I had was a nice bloke, but he kept being fobbed off by the techs, management and TBH the standards of workmanship were so poor that I wonder if they do any quality control at all. Sales staff are arrogant and liars, and the sales manager has a real height issue. I have actually been with the service guy when they have been agreeing something with Sales - only for sales to later deny it ever happened and it must be someone elses problem..... toscars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chungster Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Funny you say that about Wayside cos I got told by a good friend who deals with VW UK to avoid their dealerships if I could help it. He advised me to go to Vindis instead, which I did and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Looked after me very well the 2 times I've been back for silly things.
