Good service
Companies in general will only "rip me off" once.
Porsche customer service
Spud writes "I've had my SD for 12 months now and in that time my OPC have topped up the oil and adblue FOC, now that keeps me happy".
My diseaseal was handed over needing about 17 litres of Adblue when I checked after a couple of weeks. Later. when "service" was challenged I was told "We'll look into it and get back to you". They never did.
I assume the factory put enough in the tank for delivery and expect the POC to top it up at pdi.
Then, some front-end damage required a new bumper at same POC. Noticed next morning the reg plate lying on the garage floor - their body shop had put the new one on with double-sided adhesive tape. Had to drive to Al Frauds in 'her' car to buy new fixing bolts, drill holes and fix it properly.
Sent email to b/shop manager - again, no response.
A week or so later I get the Porsche UK standard e-questionnaire asking for views about how the "work" was done. Had I had a problem? [yes] Had I taken it up with the POC? [yes] What was their response? [none] Can we direct your replies to the POC? [yes].
Never heard a thing back.

S with an oil-burner engine and a few extras.
I suppose we can be lucky or unlucky with who we deal with.
A few years ago I had a Ford Mondeo Ghia X which was a great car but rust started to appear on the sills at approx. 3 year old. "Ford" or at least the person I contacted thought this was quite acceptable for a Β£20,000 car. I have never bought another Ford strangely enough

A lot of warranty stuff depends also on the importer and the dealer can get burned if the importer does not play ball. I have a friend who used to own a VW dealership. A customer came in with a complaint of lack of power and an intermittent flat spot on his new Tdi Passat. Anyway, long story short, nothing was showing up on the diagnostic gear (surprise surprise) and so the process of replacing components began, followed by testing, return to customer, rinse and repeat until cured.
A warranty claim had been opened, but at that time they had to be completed within 28 days submission. However the process for sorting out this car took over two months (it got fixed in the end) but by the time the dealer put the claim in VWUK said, tough should have been in before 28 days were up and refused to pay out. My friend was left with a very, very hefty unpaid bill.
You can imagine his reluctance to cover any unusual warranty stuff after that.

Yup, I can concurr......on top of all that, the manufacturer will then audit the dealership on a annual basis and claw-back any claims it considers incorrectly processed. This can be anything from job-card not signed by customer / insufficient write-up by technician / part fitted should be fitted with xyz additional part......the total claim will be clawed back and the claim amount apportioned over the total annual warranty claim amount and this further sum clawed back too! The warranty administrator can often make or break a dealership bottom line.happy days wrote: βThu Sep 07, 2017 3:35 pm A lot of warranty stuff depends also on the importer and the dealer can get burned if the importer does not play ball.
