Business ProfileforSchworer Volkswagen

Jan. 24 - called and asked about a repair which was needed. Key won't turn all the way, and car won't start. Something wrong with the ignition. Had it dropped off at their Service Center. I was told the part would come from California and arrive in 5-7 business days - so about a week or two for the repair. Feb. 7 - Haven't heard anything, so I call them. Still no part. Feb 14 - fully a week after even the most liberal estimate, STILL NO PART. No tracking number, so probably not even shipped. They won't give me any contact information for where they placed the order. When asked what will be done to expedite, I'm basically told they have no interest in doing anything to help. So I make a few calls and find a place that says they can source a part fairly quick and make the fix. I call VW back and tell them I'm going to have the car moved. But they now say they won't let the car go until I pay for the part, which HASN'T EVEN SHIPPED. I tell them to cancel the part - they refuse. I tell them I'll pay for the diagnostic - they refuse. Then they threaten a lien. Escalated to manager, who doubles-down on the refusals. She says she'll just make the diagnostic the full price of the part. I find out from her it actually comes from Germany, not California. I'm also told I have to pay for the part because they can't return it. None of this was explained before I agreed to have them do anything. Which means they're charging me for their lies, for a part which hasn't even been sent to the country, and for work they haven't done. Zero customer service. And it isn't even the first time. Last time they "fixed" the wipers, but did such a poor job one came loose three days later. My mistake for giving them a second chance.
