Brake Squeal is not normal and expected with the right choice of parts. Update 2: Craig Colby reached out and made things right. Basil VW installed the OEM rotors and aftermarket powerstop z23 pads per choice of parts. Update 2: Craig Colby reached out and made things right. Basil VW installed the OEM rotors and aftermarket powerstop z23 pads per my request. The brakes are now safe AND dead silent at all operating temperatures. Ultimately these parts were not much more expensive than their original choice of Raybestos. Raised review to three stars and will now recommend with the caveat being that escalation was necessary to reach a fair resolution. Update: Basil Leadership has been in contact in response and a potential resolution has been established to install better quality materials (OEM rotors & better quality aftermarket pads) at no cost to me. Hopefully this resolves the issue and we can move on. Bought a used car (2019 w/29k miles), part of the deal was new front brakes, pads and rotors. Took delivery. Reported squeal from front brakes with light braking the very next day. Gave it time to see if it goes away. Gave it 1 week and around 1k miles, reported issue was continuing to Tom with the service dept and had an appt scheduled for 1 week later. Calipers were serviced, car was picked up and issue was clearly still present 2 blocks down the road. Called service and reported issue still present where Tom proceeded to remind me that I "bought a used car, the brakes are new and function safely" regardless of the ridiculous noise they produce at every stop light, stop sign, and traffic jam, and that "perhaps I should deal with the noise, run them for a while and then replace them again after they wear out with the OEM parts of my choosing". Really Nice... Used car manager Craig was contacted and stands by the Service Depts position and no further discussion would be had. More

Do NOT buy a used car here! Purchased a $10,000 car 32 days ago and the engine light came on. Called the dealership and was told that since it is used and not a 2016 or newer, , Purchased a $10,000 car 32 days ago and the engine light came on. Called the dealership and was told that since it is used and not a 2016 or newer, , the 6,000 mile warranty does not apply. The car only has 59,000 miles on it. The whole reason we bought from a dealer instead of a private seller was for the peace of mind that it was thoroughly inspected and would be safe for my daughter. She has driven it less than 300 miles since receiving it and already has a check engine light on. The dealership has been horrible to deal with and I would not recommend them to anyone! Should have shopped at West Herr, where they honor their policies. More
I visited Joe Basil unannounced, on a Saturday, and was given detailed attention by Mike S., regarding my options of leasing again or purchasing my vehicle. I just wanted to put it out there that I appreci given detailed attention by Mike S., regarding my options of leasing again or purchasing my vehicle. I just wanted to put it out there that I appreciate him listening to me and understanding what I needed from him. He came through with quotes and options that I really needed, but with such friendliness and understanding, I just had to write a review and comment on his genuine demeanor. The experience was pleasant and that alone says it all! More
