I know my local vw body shop very well and some of the storys and car's you won't beleive.
Brand new cars in there before they are delivered to a customer, new vw's have very thin paint so thin that it has been completly missing in places so car has been in for a panel of 2 to be painted etc....


Coperate cost cutting at its best!!!!  :rolleyes:

Me letter had a good effect. 

A few days after I sent it ( to VW HQ ) I got a call from the quality control officer at the garage I took my car to (Rye Mill in High Wycombe).  She apologised etc, and offered to give me 50% off my next service.  However, I never wanted them to touch my car again again, so after some haggling, she agreed to give me the ca$h equivalent ( ?150 ).  A cheque arrived in the post shortly after  :grin:  She also moved the body-shop appointment forward to this week. 

Just got my car back today.  :smiley:  They've resprayed the whole bonnet, and bumper.  Looks good as new now, altough they've left some dirty marks on the seats (hopefully these'll just wash out).

Was deffo worth complaining!
