Mod Friendly Service @ Boardwalk VW in Redwood City!

[MacTeve]

I'll be coming here when I move back to Nor Cal! Great to know there's a mod friendly dealer around!

Got my 30k service done on my GLI at Boardwalk VW a few months ago. The service went OK, no complaints there.

BUT, I decided to check my oil last night, and noticed it was waaaaay overfilled (about half an inch past max on the dipstick).

I've put about 4k miles on the car, so this whole time I've been driving around with all that excess oil!

I cracked the drain plug open and drained out about 1 quart of oil to get it back to just below the FULL mark on the dipstick.

I don't know where the tech got trained to do oil changes, but clearly he was pretty sloppy with mine. Oh, and the drain plug was over torqued as well. I had to use a breaker bar to loosen it

This is why I do oil changes myself.

I'm finally back in a Volkswagen again!!! Yay Bought my 1st VW at Boardwalk and was great! Will be there shortly to bring my car in for service for all the years to come!

Hi, so VWBoardwalk is mod friendly... How about installing the mod... I am looking to have HR Sport Springs installed on my 2010 CC. Would you do that?

Thanks

Reached the 3 month mark at 2k miles. I may need a checkup. Can we get a confirmation that Boardwalk is still mod friendly?

Sorry, I missed this. Can't install the mod, but we won't do the typical dealer BS and say your springs are causing check engine lights.

We are.

My intention was to give a heads up to anyone who MODS their car and wants to come here, because typically those who mod their car, CARE about it, and probably wouldn't want to take their car to a dealer that is sloppy when servicing it
