    Purchased car from third party dealer. Recalls needed to be completed by ** dealership. Took car to Brandon tomes for this service and its been an absolute nightmare ever since! The recalls supposedly should take 3-5 days as confirmed by ** Germany. Brandon Tomes has taken 16 days with no updates on when the work will be completed. This Dealership has not updated me with any info on what is going on with the vehicle and they refused access to the vehicle to retrieve my belongings. I also requested the put the car back together so I can take the car to a different dealership as its apparently a job they can not complete, again they refused. At this point I think I need to take advice from a lawyer. When asked what I want during my last visit I responded my car back please to which they said no and threatened me with being escorted from the premises if I didnt leave.

    Mr. ***** came in the morning of 4/28/2025 - he was greeted by one of my advisors and he explained he had 5 recalls that needed to be done. Mr. ***** was visibly annoyed when he arrived, making comments about how inconvenient the recalls were, we empathized. However, he was made aware that the recalls could lead to different repair times. As some of them will require battery cell replacement based on findings during the software update. Mr. ***** did tell us he read, it should only take 3 days, but these conditions vary, as these battery cells are special order parts that have to be shipped to us from *******. Mr. ***** was offered a loaner car due to the extended time could potentially take. However, when he realized we did not have any electric loaner vehicles he began to shout at my loaner admin, I heard him so I got up and asked him what i could do to help. he replied with "You can hurry up with my car and you give me an electric loaner - I'm NOT paying for gas" -- I responded by agreeing that I would not charge him for gas. However, I did ask him to please be mindful of how he is speaking to my employees, and that if he needed to speak with me at any time he could, I gave him my business card, and he was shown to his rental.

    Mr. ***** was updated throughout the process, via text and phone call. 

    The software updates that his vehicle needed did indicate replacement of his battery cell.

    We explained to him the cell would be sent from ******* and that this alone could take 5-7 days.

    Once we received the part we started on the vehicle, During the second day of his battery replacement his vehicle was taped off as it is a high voltage repair. His battery cell was out and his Battery tray on a table under the vehicle. This requires dropping the entire lower portion of his vehicle subframe included. On this day Mr. ***** came in and demanded that we give him his car to take home because he didn't trust how long the entire process was taking so he didn't trust our competence. Per VW Training, High voltage certification is required to be around a open high-voltage vehicle. In the event that anything happened to Mr. ****** safety wise it would be our responsibility. Due to the nature of the repair there was no way for us to "button his vehicle up" as asked by him. For his vehicle needed a new cell and programming or the car wouldn't run. Furthermore, we would need to reseal the case and as it stood his repairs would be incomplete, meaning all materials used for repairs would be financially his responsibility. As his did sign off replacement when he agreed to have his recall done. He then started to film my advisors asking them to confirm that we would not let him take his vehicle, causing a scene on the drive. He was asked to leave when he refused to stop disturbing the peace of fellow customer in for service.

    After repairs were complete, we followed the test plans provided by ** to verify repairs were completed and satisfactory. Mr. ***** did pick up his vehicle he did mention he would not be back.

    We did set expectations with the customer originally and attempted to aid any complaint he has. Unfortunately, due to the extent of repair and length of time for parts to arrive, which is out of our control, as we follow Volkswagens warranty and policy guidelines. We provided full transparency from start to finish.

    I am rejecting this response because:   Car lasted 4 miles after picking up.

    Mr. ***** vehicle took 16 days to complete as he stated - however these expectations were set the day he dropped of his vehicle.

    The process to Initiate the recall - determine cell failure, order new cells, receive those cells from ** (sent from *******), and finally perform repairs.

    The amount of time it takes is mostly due to the shipping from *******. We explained this to ******************** It didn't appear to matter to Mr. *************** did our best to facilitate an easier process for him with a loaner vehicle at no charge. 

    However, Mr. ***** was called and updated throughout the process. We have text messages between my Advisor and Mr. **************** day Mr. ***** came in to pick up his vehicle, he was frustrated that we were not complete. However, parts had only arrived the night prior.

    His vehicle was torn apart, subframe removed, battery cells were open and cautionary safety measures required by law were in effect due to the high voltage system inside his id4.

    Essentially his vehicle was taped off until high voltage items were re installed and no longer posed a hazard.

    Mr. ***** did mention that he wanted to take his vehicle. 

    We explained we could put it back together for him, but completing the vehicle would take around the same time and fees would be charged.

    He opted for us to complete the repairs.

    After completion of the repairs, 

    We made Mr. ***** aware his car was complete. 

    He picked up his vehicle and after a few days later his MIL light illuminated where he then took it to another dealer, and it was determined further cell replacement (different cells then originally needed) would need to take place.

    This can happen when dealing with ***************************** but is not due to quality of work but rather the design and nature of the systems

    We offered to have his vehicle brought back to our dealer for further assessment and assured him his vehicle was under warranty, and he would be taken care of at no charge.

    He declined all advances made to rectify his situation.

    I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with Brandon Tomes Volkswagen of McKinney. While my initial issue involved poor customer service from the service department, my concerns escalated significantly after encountering a breach of privacy and unprofessional behavior from the business.Initially, I wrote a one-star review on **** to share my dissatisfaction with the lack of communication and the overly inflated service estimate I was provided. During my interaction with the service department, I was informed that financing options were available for the repair. I agreed to move forward based on this information. However, I was not informed that a deposit would be required as part of the financing terms. I only discovered this requirement when I went to make the payment, leaving me with no other option but to pay several hundred dollars upfront. I had made it clear I couldnt do the repairs without financing and they assured me it would apply and showed the amount we were approved for. While I reluctantly accepted this situation, the handling of my review by the business was *************** response to my Yelp review, the owner publicly disclosed sensitive information about my husband and ************ situation. It was uncalled for/ This included the financing company we attempted to work with, and the specific deposit required. Sharing such personal financial details in a public forum is highly unprofessional and an invasion of privacy.I find this conduct by the business deeply concerning, as it reflects a disregard for customer confidentiality and professional ethics. Publicly sharing customers information is not only inappropriate but also damaging to the trust customers place in a business.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

    In Feb of 2024, I purchased a certified used ** Arteon. The vehicle has 49,*** miles and I was told it had factory number to number for a remaining 10k miles or mid 2025 timeframe. The finance person offered a 100k **** warranty for roughly $2500. I agreed and purchased.The 100k mile warranty as it turns out is only good for 15 months, running out in May of 2025. I was sold a worthless warranty. Now the 3rd party company wants $4,000 more to cover the car to 100K miles.This is not the only pricing problem I've had with this car, but this is the most agrigious case of bait and switch I've ever seen. Who will drive 50k miles in a year? If the warranty was more it should have been disclosed then, where I would probably have purchased.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/17/2025

    ALL HE WANTED WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 100K MILE WARRANTY HE BOUGHT WAS INDEED GOOD UP TO 149K MILES OR 7 YEARS.  EASY CARE WAS TELLING HIM SOMETHING DIFFERENT.  WE ARE CURRENTLY RESENDING HIM ALL THE DOCUMENTS SHOWING WHAT HE INDEED DOES HAS.

    My husband and I drove about 90 miles to do business with this dealership again. We were ending our lease early and looking to finance a new car. I had already informed them I was pre-approved with Capitol One, but they ran my credit through at least 7 other lenders anyway. The vehicle we initially were looking at we were told was "too expensive" and that they could get us into the next trim down. After several hours of going back forth and informing them that we would just leave bc the price wasn't what we wanted, the finance team finally settled on a vehicle and price. Once we got to ******' office, the dealership manager named **, let us know he had good news and bad news. The good news was he got us less months on the car but the bad news was the payment was higher. He told us bc of this, he added in an extended warranty for us with NO EXTRA COST. I said we didn't need it, but he talked my husband into stating it was at no extra cost. Once we got home, I plugged in the flash drive where they load your paperwork, and immediately noticed an amount of almost ***** added for an Easycare extended warranty. I contacted our salesman and he stated I would need to fill out the cancellation form. I sent it to him in an email to his vw account which he insisted I resend to his personal Gmail account. After about a week and not hearing anything back, I contacted the dealership again this time asking for ******. ****** informed me that our salesman Keagen hadn't sent him over the paperwork so I filled out an additional form and also sent in the initial cancelation form. I sent a followup email to ****** a week later who told me that it was sent to accounting for processing. Here we are weeks later, and still no adjustment to my ** Credit account with the extended warranty amount taken off. I see yall do this often and have multiple complaints on BBB. Wish I had done business somehwere else because you are BEYOND shady. You owe us an adjustment of $6,819.95.

    This issue hasn't been resolved. I've been in contact with the finance manager who sent me a photocopy of a supposed check that was sent to VW Credit on 12/31/2024. ** Credit has yet to receive this check and today is Jan 21, 2025. It has almost been 30 days since the check was supposedly mailed. I have tried contacting ****** to ask how they sent the check. Surely it would have been sent certified to ensure the recipient would get this due to the dollar amount. I'm aware the accounting department is handling this, so I've emailed someone as well without any response. I am still due $6,819.95 to ** Credit for this extended warranty that was canceled.

    Everything was resolved.  We cut a check to Volkswagen credit to apply towards the loan.  I spoke with the customer and she said everything is good as well and willing to use us again the future.

    We have already addressed this matter. It is unclear what additional assistance the client requires from us. As a courtesy, we have paid for and ordered the necessary parts at no charge to the client. Additionally, we have processed a refund for the optional tire and wheel policy the client purchased. Since the vehicle was financed and has not been paid in full, the refund must be sent to the lender.
    We remain willing to assist further to the best of our abilities

    I am rejecting this response because:   It was clear to the dealer when I made the purchase, I wasn't interested in the vehicle without the wheel warranty, but the warranty they sold me didn't cover the wheels on the vehicle.  To resolve the issue in a satisfactory manner, the dealer needs to locate a warranty that will cover the dealer added wheels and tires at the dealer's cost, or refund the transaction all together since I feel the transaction was made in bad faith by the salesman.  The dealer claims they recently changed their warranty products and were unfamiliar the warranty didn't cover the custom wheels and tires. I will not do business with this dealer in the future if their salesmen aren't familiar with the products they promote.  That is poor business.

    We are more than willing to assist the client. We have already offered a refund for the ancillary product purchased after the vehicles pricing was agreed upon. Additionally, we offered to cover the cost of the existing wheel and tire issue for the client.
    While it is unclear how much more the client requires, we remain committed to assisting to the best of our abilities.
    Thank you

    I am rejecting this response because:  In addition to covering the replacement cost of the damaged wheel and tire, (which might not be necessary since 2 wheels were damaged in the recent accident), I will still be driving a vehicle without tire and wheel warranty coverage.  To properly resolve the issue, the dealer will need to provide a warranty that properly covers the wheels and tires they installed on the vehicle, at their cost.

    I applied for a corporate position at the Brandon Tomes Volkswagen of McKinney in which they hired me on as a sales women. Then within 2 weeks of training, I ended up with a new car with loan interest of $44,967.74 for a 2022 Volkswagen Taos. I was told my other Volkswagen Tiguan was in the whole and I needed to pay "too much for it" so I should just sell it since it was was not "drivable" I should have never signed a contract while being mentally ill and with my diagnosis, which they were fully aware of.

    We have been in communication with this client, who applied for and was hired for a sales position. At no point were we informed of any pre-existing health conditions, which she is now claiming. After experiencing issues with her car in -service, she expressed an unwillingness to pay the service bill and explored the option of purchasing a vehicle to avoid the repair costs. Following approximately three days of discussions, she proceeded with the purchase of a vehicle, during which we extended an exceptional deal to her.
    Her assessment of our company and her transaction is inaccurate. We have consistently demonstrated understanding and empathy regarding her situation. During a recent conversation, we offered her all possible remedies and remain willing to assist her to the best of our ability.

    I made a deal to purchase used vehicle on August 1st 2024 from this establishment. They were to get me paperwork to sign within a couple of days to finalize transaction. i was an out of state buyer. I asked for a copy of papers electronically several times which was never received to review them before physical documents arrived. Paperwork was received on the 10Th of August and information on the paperwork to purchase vehicle was incorrect. Items including the spelling of my last name, the spelling of the vehicle, and the amount of the transaction. I had asked them to fix the mistakes and resend paperwork. They had agreed and resent paperwork on the 20th of August. This same day another buyer came in to see vehicle and wanted to purchase the vehicle. They had called me and said they can't hold the vehicle for me because they hadn't received paperwork or payment yet. I explained that they were at fault for this slow transaction not me. They decided to sell it to other buyer anyway but promised to reimburse me for the inspection I had done on the vehicle. This promise for reimbursement was sent to me on a text message from the business. This cost was $200 in which I texted a receipt as they requested. They have acknowledged the receipt and said payment would be sent shortly. I have called approximately 6 times since August 20th and have had no return calls to discuss.

    The company posted a vehicle for sale with a price of $4000. I put all my information in to purchase the vehicle and sent it back to them and within seconds the car was not available and could no longer be found. I took pictures of the vehicle and posting. I thought it was probably a mistake but they had two different ones for sale with the same price. I feel that they should honor the price they had posted. Pkease help me with this matter.

    BBB is unable to locate the business.
    6/8, I purchased the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan that should've qualified as a Certified Pre-Owned. I was aware that dealerships might tack on additional costs to the price agreement. Certified pre-owned vehicles have many benefits. 6/9, I realized that what I thought was just dirt on the car was actually overspray paint. This prompted me to inspect the rims and the rest of the vehicle more closely. It quickly became apparent that the car had significant damage, and I couldn't believe it had passed the certification process. 6/10, I brought my car back to VW because I started I asked them to review the damage. I requested the *** checklist, but the only thing I was provided with was a history report showing limited information. The sales manager, told me to bring it back on 6/13 to get the repairs completed and to arrange for a rental. Tuesday, 6/11: There is greasy/oily sand all over the engine bay. I emailed the Sales Manager, to inform him, but did not respond. 6/13 I took my VW to get repaired due to damages. The service manager, confirmed that there was sand in the engine bay. 6/26 Service Manager called and informed me that my car was ready. I went to the dealership to check on the car and noticed that there was still some sand in the engine bay, paint overspray on the car, a rock chip in the window, and the rims that were repaired appeared to be dull, indicating that no clear coat was added or they were not buffed. They look as if the rims were spray painted. I emailed the sales manager and informed him that the vehicle was not completely fixed. 7/1: The ** called me multiple times, and then the Sales Manager started texting me. They were saying my car was completed, but my car hasn't moved since 6/26, so it is not complete. 7/23, I picked up the vehicle since it was just sitting there. The damage is still not repaired (even though VW told me it was repaired), even though on the *** checklist, it was marked and signed as if the car was in outstanding condition.

    ************** has been provided with exemplary support and service by Volkswagen of McKinney and its staff. He has continued to attempt to use multiple sources and platforms to gain extra compensation even after we have gone above and beyond. He has threatened employees and misled everyone. Now, once again, he is making false accusations without any basis in a final effort to defame and gain some sort of compensation. We even offered to unwind his deal, to which he did not respond. We would be glad to help this client, yet he clearly only wants compensation for the sake of compensation without any real basis.

    Respectfully

    Management
