I dropped off my car for a simple battery change, but when I picked it up, the window switch was broken and had sharp edges. They are denying that the damage happened while the car was in their care and More

Platinum Volkswagen responded

At Platinum, we take full responsibility for any issues caused by our team. However, in this case, no one from our staff interfered with the components of your vehicle, specifically the window switch. Changing a battery does not require interaction with the window switch, and these switches are securely installed and do not come loose on their own; they require a specialized tool for removal. Therefore, we believe this issue was not related to our service on your vehicle.

BD responded

It is not a true statement that full responsibility would be taken for issues caused by your team. It was stated on a call to me by the Manager that if a Platinum team member broke the windshield, I would be responsible for cost of that repair. That definitely is not taking accountability and causes me to distrust this business when I was in need of quality workmanship.

Platinum Volkswagen responded

It is unusual that the switch issue was not noted when you initially picked up the vehicle. Upon your follow-up call, we offered to cover the labor costs if you bought the replacement switch, as there was no evidence of damage caused by Platinum. We aim to provide every possible assistance; however, it seems you may be choosing to challenge Platinum’s reputation instead of taking responsibility for replacing a switch that was not affected by our service.

BD responded

You stated "At Platinum, we take full responsibility for any issues caused by our team." You also stated, "we offered to cover the labor costs if you bought the replacement switch." Having me buy the replacement switch is not taking "full responsibility" for the issues caused by your team.

Do not give your business to Platinum Volkswagen! After leasing and buying four (4) cars from them, my wife and I recently had a problem where our 2020 Jetta with 32000 miles died due to a faulty eng More

Platinum Volkswagen responded

Your mechanic did an oil change the problem is he failed to fill the car up with oil and started your car which destoyed the engine. That is why your car was towed instead of driven to Platinum. Volkswagen warranty turned down your request for a new motor.

This is NOT TRUE! Huntington VW performed a thorough diagnostic and it was determined that my car WAS under warranty and DID have oil in the car. I was dismissed by Platinum in an arrogant and unfriendly manner where I was left with a major problem and they could care less. I would NEVER recommend Platinum VW to anyone.

Went in for an oil change and came out with a broken ignition cylinder, car would not start, windows wide open under the rain, techs would take no responsibility at all. They wanted me to pay $1300+ for More

Platinum should not have even taken your car in for service in the condition it was in. The keys were not working the car had no power. The car is in such bad shape that you need to replace it.

Platinum Volkswagen responded

You have never stepped foot into Platinum until today. You serviced your car and went home to find all of the sudden your Uber screen was cracked. You then tried to lie to the service department. When you were denied there you looked up Josh the General manager so you can threaten him that you needed the screen to be fixed. After that you proceeded to write bad reviews as you stated in your email as you did not get your way. All over a 100 Uber screen that was already broken before Platinum touched your car.

Uneducated liar according to josh lever responded

This is what the owner of Platinum VW said about me in an email; "That is why you drive Uber putting your education to work. The sad part is you're an outright liar, and you think you know facts but you're all wrong on all accounts. This will be my final communication with you. Thank you, Josh Lever General Manager Platinum Volkswagen D: (516) 342-7771 F: (516) 331-0000 W: PlatinumVW.com facebook twitter"

Platinum Volkswagen responded

Corey you can try to play spin this to the public anyway you want. This is about a screen not anything else you called looking to fight everyone at Platinum your requests were all denied and now you want to show everyone how well you write. You were rude to my staff calling my service managers names. Then you wanted to fight with someone above my service manager you looked up the general manager, Your accusatory manner and your actions are not acceptable they way you handled your self in not acceptable. Your attacked my service manager on a personal level and then you continued to act towards the same way, the general manger on a personal level threatening bad reviews if Platinum did not fix your screen. You can write all the bad reviews you want however Platinum is not going to deal with this any further.

What a car salesman will say to protect his reputation. Read Platinums VW's reviews with their numerous LAWSUITS and decide for yourself!

Uneducated liar according to josh lever responded

I am a special education school teacher and i drive for Uber to help pay for mom's cancer treatment. I never lied to your dealership and i swear on my mother's life. I never wanted any reimbursement, just the admission that my vehicle's interior was damaged by your team.

Dec 15, 2020 -

Platinum Volkswagen responded

Please don't swear on anyone's life that is not healthy. Like I said in all your ranting an raving no one here broke your Uber screen or they would have admitted it. You tune has changed to the public as yesterday you were demanding and accusing Platinum employees. If it was that important to you you would have checked at the time of pickup. We suggest with all your issues that you have that you return to your selling dealer. They will help you in the future. You still cannot drive a car leased or financed for Uber. So your still in the wrong with the bank and your warranty. Good luck.
