After 5k of fixes including new tires, I was tired of paying for repairs on an old car. We sold the car and bought one that has free maintenance. I would rather my money go towards something newer than it going to something old. Being that my dad is a mechanic and has had his own shop for 40 years, I tend to believe him when he says that car dealerships lie when it comes to repairs. And their labor costs are outrageous. The only reason why we didn't take our BMW to my dad's shop is because he doesn't work on them. <br /><br />I'm disappointed to hear all of the issues with your VW. When I had my VW, I absolutely loved it. I sold it after four years, but never, ever had any issues with it. <br /><br />I do think that dealerships know when your car comes off maintenance and mysteriously there seems to be a lot of problems. I would take your car to an independent shop and have them give you an opinion on what needs to be taken care. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-43058364548879399482015-11-12T09:06:45.013-07:002015-11-12T09:06:45.013-07:00For many years I had my cars serviced at the deale...For many years I had my cars serviced at the dealer's shop as the dealer was a local fellow with a great reputation. My cars were well cared for and I was never lied to. Then, the fellow with the great rep sold to one of those big multi-state dealerships. Suddenly my repairs were getting ridiculous. The last time there I was given an estimate of $3000 for "a job that really needed to be done soon." I took the car to my husband's mechanic and he said everything was just fine. He also told me that the dealerships have been hiring extra mechanics, putting them on commission. In other words, they get paid for what they can find wrong with a car. I've not returned to the dealer's repair shop since then. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
