Riverhead Bay Volkswagen Nov 12, 2021 Seastarz "Service department ladies and gentlemen at front desk..." Service department ladies and gentlemen at front desk were most gracious, however there appeared to be issues outside of their purview. I purchased two new VW's over the years from Riverhead Bay Motors a Jetta and an upgrade to the Passat and at least 6 or 7 VW's from other dealers over the years. In other words I have always been happy with VW brand. Weeks ago I set up a service call to have one of the air vents repaired which apparently needed a motor which they didn't have in stock, so after patiently waiting 3 hrs I had to make another appointment to have the motor put in which cost approx $ 800 and another 3 hours wait. So be it. When I got home I realized that the defroster didn't function anymore thinking that it was probably a miswiring or something so after a further 3 hrs and a cost of $ 190 I was told that something probably "fell into the vent" causing it to break and another estimate of $650 was offered. THAT WAS AN AMAZING ANSWER NOTING THAT IT WORKED FINE BEFORE. Now I wasn't particularly surprised but I found it peculiar that after having been given a number of unsolicited quotes after Riverhead Bay conducted a $190 trouble shooting of the DEFROSTER they indicated the following repairs were necessary... 1. NEW TIRES- THEY HAD 20K MILES ON THEM, probably $ 800 ? 2. NEW FRONT BRAKES- CHANGED BRAKES AND ROTORS 8 MONTHS AGO heavy wear on brake rotors damaged by emergency brake cables $ 700 ? 3. DRIVER SIDE HEATED SEATS- WORKED FINE BEFORE, now one would guess who would have known whether they worked or not in the mid-fall I DID. $ 700? NOW THE LATEST. Three days after leaving River Bay...the windshield cleaner tank although full and pump motor still functioning does not spray when it worked perfectly fine before. THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS DISCOVERY WAS THAT FILL CAP WAS LEFT OPEN AND ALTHOUGH THE FILTER SCREEN WAS STILL INTACT...SOME GRANULAR STUFF WAS DISCOVERED. SHOULD I BE UPSET? I WASN'T NASTY? SHOULD I HAVE AGREED TO HAVE ALL OF THOSE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS DONE ?
