VW Service- on A Current Affair-

[vw50]

Hello All:

Did any member see the tv article re Camperbell VW in Victoria concerning a lady who owned a Golf. Apparently she had many problems with it and she called the car 'crap'. It was in for service and a mechanic named 'elvis' took it for a 'test drive' after hours and smashed it.

During her ownership she had complaints with the dealer, VW Aust, and even went to VW Germany!

This story is indeed sad to say the least. Has any other member had bad experiences with dealers that we should know about.?

There is a www site called productreview.com.au, where car owners report on problems etc. McCarrolls VW at Hornsby NSW came in for mention from an owner of a golf re air con problems and service.

It would be good to know where we should get our VW's serviced in each state.

Regards,

VW50

You know elvis?

I happen to know him too.

The media is a joke - hence why I come here seeking peoples personal experiences.

I'd like to see the media do a report on how the media has had an influence on peoples lives for the worst by filling them with fear from mis-representation of the facts to make a story sell.

Now that would be interesting.

I remember that story. So what actually happened?

Elvis drove it home and it was involved in an accident correct? The argument was that he was merely making sure the fault didn't come back I thought

all those shows, ACA TT etc are full of crap. I watched something today about how there a big sercret supermarkets have been keeping from everyone, and it turned out to be a policy we openly share and abide by. the story was a complete waste, just goes to show how they can fill up a half hour with as much crap as possible.

I like it when the chasers rip into these guys, shows up the crap for well the crap that it is.

I would like to meet elviz. that would be cool. (elvis presely that is...)

He was told to take it home along the freeway to test for wind noise at freeway speeds. Had the go ahead from the Service manager AND the lady consented to it by signing the repair order when the car was booked in.
