YBH VW West Chester, Y or N? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

C'DALERIDER · 12-02-2009, 09:42 AM

Any West Chester folks have experience with this dealer, YBH VW on rt 3 near 252?
I dont agree with what they are telling my brother about his car, and the price to fix it is....

So im asking for in any TST people have 1st or 2nd hand experience.

thanks

Never taken my car there.. and don't really hear to much about it.

If he wants a private shop with much better/ affordable rates, he should try Dresden Auto Works. Blaire is a Certified VW tech that used to be at Garnet. His shop is off Rt. 3 (i think) but closer to west chester.

If he wants a dealership. Some of the Garnet people went to Fred Beans, and I've heard that it's better gotten reviews, then in the past.
I still take my car to Garnet and have had great service without issue.

I work at Garnet, and know of Blaire. What are the issues with the car?

Ducky 2.0T · 12-02-2009, 11:40 AM

Oakes.. How does Jordan's CC look in person? I'll have to stop by and check it out.

Oakes · 12-02-2009, 11:43 AM

It looks good, it needs to be dropped more and the wheels need to grow on me I guess, but I'd rock it either way haha.

He was driving and the transmision just gave up, out of the blue, on rt 3 by Nova. No slipping, no trany cel, car was great. he did replace battery few days ago. I just thought an auto trany usually gives signs it's getting worn, clutch packs worn=heat=slipping of trany ...etc etc. They want a lot of money. Over $4k.
Advise is GREATLY appreciated! I dont fully trust YBH and feel they are taking advantage of old people, imo. lol.
Thank you.

ps...I need two on my cars detailed (04 eb expedition and my 06 STI). Ill be pm'ing for an apptmnt.

C'DALERIDER · 12-02-2009, 11:52 AM

Dresden Auto Works...ANY ONE HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER?

Oakes · 12-02-2009, 11:53 AM

Hm. What year/model is the car? Miles as well, I'll discuss it with the service advisors here and get their take on it. In any case, I havent heard many things about YBH and that can go both ways. I know on any big repair here, we work with the customer as much as possible and we go out of the way here for the customers.

Looking forward to the PM!

C'DALERIDER · 12-02-2009, 12:19 PM

07 passat? Tdi I'm sure. Lmk. I got a car trailer and have no problem with removing the car to another shop if. I feel ybh is being 'shady'.

Ducky 2.0T · 12-02-2009, 12:55 PM

Address for DAW is: 1054 saunders ln west chester pa 19380

I'm trying to find the shops number.

Oakes · 12-02-2009, 01:13 PM

Ok, I'll run it by these guys and see what they say, the miles helps too and any ESP on the vehicle. Little young to be losing a trans...

underpressure02 · 12-02-2009, 01:27 PM

I bought my S4 from them.

I think my cousin Mac Reecer works are Garnet VW as a mechanic.

Oakes · 12-02-2009, 01:35 PM

Does he go by Reece? Little blonde guy?

C'DALE, Replacing a VW transmission out of warranty is about 8 hours of labor through the shop which equates to $900, that is without the price of parts and such. Did they say the transmission needs to be replaced completely? Trying to guesstimate/ballpark the issues here.

thanks for your opinion. I seem to agree so far.

She has 75k on her. Yes, they said it needs a new trany. Which is possible but like i am saying, in my experience and understanding of trany's they usually are symptomatic very much so and dont just stop working pronto. more like a module issue?
thanks a LOT! IOU.

Oakes · 12-02-2009, 04:07 PM

Not a problem, just looking to help. I agree on the symptomatic part, they dont just...go...and if that is the case then I'd get in touch with VW themselves. In all honesty, I'd grab it out of YBH and have Dresden or Garnet check it out and make sure it is the actual trans that needs to be replaced and not something less. Like I said, I havent heard much about YBH but that can go both ways.

matt89 · 12-03-2009, 11:21 AM

i know what you mean by shady dealership, i bought my jetta 2 months ago from piazza vw in ardmore and it was having problems every week so i got tired of taking it up there and went to garnet and haven't had a problem since

silver01lude · 12-04-2009, 05:14 AM

YBH is reeeeeeealy shady. My buddy bought an 04 Jetta GLI from them a few years back, lost a center cap to one of his rims a few days after he got it, and they tried to charge him for a new rim and tire, even though he had a lifetime warranty on the rims. I'd say get a quote from a respectable shop that you trust, see what they say, and go back to YBH with that price.

Oh, since its an 07, did he get any kind of warranty on the car? I doubt it would cover tranny issues, but its worth looking into if he did.

Oakes · 12-04-2009, 08:29 AM

With 75k on the clock, he's out of most ESP warranties let alone the factory warranty. I still vote taking it some where else and at least having them look at it, Garnet is worlds more capable of a dealership than YBH, especially in it's service department.

CHAOS · 12-04-2009, 08:42 AM

hey ron, i spoke to my brother (former VW owner)... he said avoid YBH.
