What was your experience? I'm going today for my first service.Cochrane here. No block heater hasn't been a problem yet. Best Calgary dealer is... yourself. Had some work done on my mk4 tdi wagon at 5th ave years ago, they tried to sell me a new brake switch instead of a pair of bulbs...
Mk7 came from Southcenter but their service center lost my business for life. Won't ever go back for anything and used to live right near there.

At my 60K service they told me I had to have the transmission fluid changed. I reminded him it has a manual, not a dsg and they said it would void my warranty if I refused. At that same service they installed a mix of NGK and Bosch spark plugs which I found when I did my own service at 120k. I brought it up to the service manager while I was buying new plugs and he said "It would be easy for a tech to mix up the plugs. They just grab them from a bin and make sure they are the same measurements, because that's what matters." He also acknowledged that the manual trans does not need to be flushed at 60k but, without pulling up any service records or asking anybody, denied that the advisor lied to me about it.What was your experience?

Ahhh that's unfortunate. I just watched a documentary on service centres at dealerships and they all work on commission. They tell you whatever is needed to get you to spend extra cash.At my 60K service they told me I had to have the transmission fluid changed.

Maybe I have unrealistically high standards but I refuse to accept this level of care for "professional" work. And if the manager has a crappy attitude, why would any of the staff care?
