Vehicle Not Repaired I am not the typical service customer, I am a thirty eight year master auto technician, and automotive service business owner. I had replaced the stee I am not the typical service customer, I am a thirty eight year master auto technician, and automotive service business owner. I had replaced the steering column module in my son’s 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit and brought it to Greenbrier Volkswagen to have it coded, and I used the night drop to put the vehicle in for service. The next morning I received a call from the service writer Tim, and explained what I needed to have done and why. He explained they could perform the repair for $99.00 unless I wanted to have the problem diagnosed in that case it would run $200.00. I explained that everything on the vehicle worked before I damaged the two pins on the module that connected to the horn when I was replacing the turn signal switch, so I did not see a reason to have it diagnosed. That afternoon I received a call from Tim saying the technician had some trouble coding it, but it was ready for pick up for the agreed upon price. When I picked the vehicle up the electric power steering was operating but the cruise control was not, so when I returned to my shop I scanned the vehicle and found trouble code 01044 incorrect coding trouble code. I called Tim and explained this to him, and he said he would speak to the technician and call me back. I did not hear from Tim that day, so I called him the following afternoon and he explained to me the coding was complicated and it would take another $99.00 charge to complete the coding so everything to work correctly. I told Tim I would have to think about this and I would let him know my decision. At this point I was frustrated, and decided to talk to a fellow business associate to see if he had a programming tool for Volkswagen. Come to find out he has and Autel MaxiSYS Elite which can be used to code the steering column module which he was willing to bring over and use on my vehicle. To make a long story short, the module was coded 000022 when it should have been coded 00042 which is what we coded it too. With this coding it worked properly and Tim wanted to charge me another $99.00 to do this job. If this had been done the first time, the problem would have been repaired. Instead excuses were made, because, in my option the technician did not know what he was doing or did not know to check to see if he had done the coding correctly. The bottom line is, we need verify that we have completed the repair once we have completed a job. Either by checking it ourselves, or by having a team member inspect the completed operation.

Friendly. Reliable. Fast The time it took to service my car was within a reasonable time. The staff I interacted with me were friendly, and willing to help where needed. The o The time it took to service my car was within a reasonable time. The staff I interacted with me were friendly, and willing to help where needed. The only real complaint is that it took fifteen minutes to get my car back from valet once the service was complete. However, once I brought the issue to an associate, the situation was promptly fixed, and I got my car back within 2 minutes. Will definitely use Southern VW for my next service appointment. More
