Fair generalization IMO.

you started off spouting off about not trusting dealers. I said that may be the case with yours, not mine. Then off you went with your stories (which I’m sure describe the sum total of that shops work) and here we are.Cheers

In terms of servicing, it should be capped and be around the $426 mark.
We all know dealer prices are inflated, i suspect they know too and are quick to give a discount to keep you coming back.sigpicVW Tiguan 2018 162TSI Highline

You have made a very quick judgement based on a statement of my opinion about dealer reliability. I tried to then give some evidence to support that opinion get you’re still convinced you know precisely how I have spoken to the dealers.
So let’s drop the bull**** and get back to being two blokes with many years of experience dealing with dealers and mechanics and not be jerks. We’re here to help each other... well I’m on a new owners forum to try to help others anyway.

Tbh i have had exactly zero issues with any of the 5 golfs/polos in my family have owned and run them since 2009 i know they get bad press in forums but you never get people who have no issues with their car posting it,s the enthusiasts and the ones who do have issues who post which skews the forums
But if i do have a problem out of warranty i will for sure at least ask for a goodwill gesture as the saying goes if you don't ask you don't gets2017 Golf Alltrack 135tdi All options

Doubt I will be taking my Tig to VW for any service when I have friends with workshops that work on Ferraris, Porsches, BMW, Merc that can do a better job for cheaper.
Used to take my MK6 R to VW for the first few years service, friends workshop ordered OEM oil filter for my car from VW once they started servicing it, they sent a VW OEM to them. On removing the oil filter VW put in my car from the previous service we found it was a generic filter, not the same as the VW OEM filter they supply when you order and pay a premium.
Checking the receipt from the VW service, invoice said it was an VW OEM oil filter to which they charged the same but installed some generic oil filter. I contacted the VW dealer and sent them pictures of the apparent OEM filter they had installed. After a long wait they replied saying that the filters they use in house have no markings on them and that's why it appeared different... I call BS on this...
Realistically how do you know what parts a dealer is using in your car, the receipt might say one thing but what they actually use could be totally different!Tiguan Gen2 162TSI Etuners IS38 Stage 3 238.6 kw@4 wheels
