ANGRY about Service
I was told that my lightbulbs that had just been replaced weren't working at the time of service. I checked the old bulbs and they worked perfectly. Pretty low to lie and charge someone extra for a set of lightbulbs that were not even necessary. I will not be taking my care for service here anymore. If I have been dishonestly charged for lightbulbs, who knows what else I have been improperly charged for in the past. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Reviewed and adjusted
I had given them a low rating due to the pricing of a oil change and tire rotate. I have always given a company kudos for fixing an error. How a company handles that is important to me. They claimed to have researched local pricing for the same services and made an adjustment to my bill. Whether they change their listed prices is unknown to me but hopefully they have.

Do Not Use for General Service
They got to be kidding. My wife brought the 12 Passat in for a recall fix. Decided to do a oil change w/filter and tire rotation. $157 dollars, you read it right, What is maybe 45 dollars at warehouse tire. Never again
Laura L P., Customer Relations Director from Pecheles Automotive responded on 09/29/2017

Paul, we apologize if there has been an error.  Please allow us to review the repair order and we will reach out to you directly via telephone.  Thank you for reaching out.

Effort matters
Having expressed my concerns about the problem the Joe P. team sprung into actions. They called, emailed, and took the car back in to get it right; and they did. My confidence has been restored...Way to go!

Mixed Review
Service was much better than last visit. However, something went wrong in the shop. The day after my service, which included an oil change I traveled out of town for my anniversary. When we were literally in the middle of nowhere the oil light indicator comes on, wait what! When we found a place to stop I check under the hood, every thing looks good, until I check the oil. Low! Really? Of course the type of oil needed isn't sold at the store. I find the closest thing, 1 quart low. Oil light goes off. Disappointed! I love my Passat, just hope it will not suffer because of someone else???
Laura L P., Customer Relations Director from Pecheles Automotive responded on 09/28/2017

Gregory, thank you for reaching out to us.  We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your allowing us to bring the car back to diagnose any problem.  We promise to make it right.  Thank you for your continued loyalty.  We appreciate your business.

Made sure they had correct cell phone number before leaving dealership but still called home number and left a message. Purchased vehicle used from my brother in law and took them about half a dozen times to get paperwork correct.

Satisfied with my experience
Although I was very upset with my initial experience I am very appreciative of Neil taking the time to review my survey response and call me personally to resolve the issue. This shows that even when a negative situation occurs the employees are willing to go above and beyond to fix the problem. I will in fact continuing business with Pecheles because of the great customer service I received to resolve my previous issue.

Terrible Experience
I am a first year graduate student at East Carolina University and was looking for a trust worthy shop that I could go to throughout my time in school as I am very far from home. I found Pecheles because it was close to my apartment and would do the recall work I needed done on my car. I scheduled an appointment and after dropping off my car the night before heard nothing for a full day about what was happening. After not having my car all day I called to find out they hadn't done any of the work they were supposed to. After getting my car back they gave me an estimate because apparently my car had a broken bleeder that needed to be fixed before the recall work could be done. The estimate they gave me for a new caliber was over $300. Of course I call my dad before agreeing to this who has been a mechanic for Catipilar for over 30 years and he said this was absured and a caliber + labor shouldn't cost more that $100. I then drove my car back to Pennsylvania so my dad could look at the "broken bleeder". He informed me that the bleeder is broken but there is no possible way it was easily broken. He is positive that when they began working on the recall that someone broke the bleeder off my car. Whether intentional or accidental, they tried to make me pay for a mistake that they made. I am highly disappointed with my business experience at Pecheles and will never recommend them to anyone. I again am back in PA for the second time this month so my dad (someone I can trust) can fix the now broken bleeder. It just goes to show that no matter how friendly you are people will always try and make an extra dime off of vulnerable people. Thankfully I grew up around cars and have my dad there to let me know what's a good deal and when I am being taken advantage of. I don't appreciate the way I was treated and again I say, I will never recommend Pecheles to anyone.

Manager did an excellent job handling the situation and making it right
It was just a bad first experience, but John went above and beyond what I expected of even a "good" dealership to make this right. He went into great in-depth research to figure out what happened, took the time to explain it to me, and is making it right. Very impressed. Thank you. A++++

They did not following through with customer's request, then still charged full amount.
I don't need to leave a review. The title tells it all. I was also contacted by a customer service agent TWO days ago about my visit and told her everything. Then I was promised that someone who could help me out with the issues I had would be calling me shortly. No one ever did. Clearly, this dealership does not go above and beyond as other dealerships, or other brands (such as Porsche and BMW) have done for me in the past.

Pleased with purchase
Very pleased with purchase of vehicle. Good price and sales people very helpful and friendly.
My only complaint is that I had a pre-approved loan, and I am now getting letters from various lending agencies that were contacted regarding the loan. Don't really understand this, and it has an impact on my credit score. If my pre-approved loan was not enough, I was able to pay the difference, but was never consulted about this.
Otherwise very happy with vehicle and service.

Positive attitude of working service advisors
My experiences with Pecheles Automotive have always been a positive experience. The people at the maintenance check-in are informed and pleasant when explaining what will be checked and probable costs. No talking down or making you feel ignorant. This year I was greeted by Kimberely Westbrook. She explained length of time and costs and then gave me a loaner car I had requested. When I returned later in the afternoon she was there again to explain needed extra work and concerns about my car. Questions were answered and concerns addressed. She was a pleasure to work with.

There was another gentleman on the desk next to her that also made himself available for questions when Kimberely was out of the building looking for my loaner. I didn't get his name, but he was very pleasant and open to questions of mine.
