West Palm Beach Area Meet/Chit Chat - 561

[MasterNele03]

Yea but you never know, otherwise just wait in the engine classifieds or a part-out in the MKIV section. Something is bound to pop up b/c they are abundant which also = inexpensive.

[TDiPusher19t]

i have a 12v vr head just sitting on my work bench if thats what you need

[71sbeetle]

I'm in town tonight let's get something going!

[Danimal32]

I'd be down but i got a b-day [arty to go to at 7

[JayChill]

I wish there was a hump day meet :/

[JayChill]

Ive used Custom Exhaust on military north of lake worth road before. Was pretty pleased with what I got there.

Speaking of shops, a friend just bought a 2010 Jetta and I'm looking for a VW shop to recommend for her in Boynton Beach. I have a bunch I can recommend in Broward but I don't want her to have to drive down there and I'd rather not see her get screwed at a dealer, if they take Extended Warranties that would be even better.

That being said, whatup all my northern brothers... how y'all been?

There is nothing in Boynton to recommend, independent repair shops included, other than staying far away from Maroone.

Yea they are a decent palce from what I've seen. Haven't gone there personally though.

X2 ^^ I don't know of anywhere I'd really recommend except one place in the treasure coast but that's just as far of a drive as to Broward. I just end up doing all of the work.

[71sbeetle]

The muffler/exhaust place on Okeechobee across from Braman BMW is the best place around here.

[Scooobs]

Anyone doing anything tonight. Meeting up or drinks. West palm beach area

[Scooobs]

Lets all make a date and time to all meet up on a Friday night somewhere

Don't know that place, may have to go check it out to weld an O2 bung on my downpipe.

dude, f*** maroone! they are garbage..

[CaptainQualude]

dude, f*** maroone! they are garbage..

I've been unfortunate to have worked for 2 or 3 companies, that were taken over, with the exact same business model as Maroone. They look at it like the customer is a captive consumer & has no where else to go, so screw them as hard as you can, they can complain all they want, but will have to take it because they are the only dealership for miles. It's just not Maroone VW, it's every Maroone dealership doing it. Greed starts at the top.

Well that sucks, I didn't know about the lack of independent shops up there but I did know about Maroone, she bought an extended service plan so cost won't be as much of an issue i just don't trust the techs at CarMax.

Stop it!! I can't breath.

Oh boy.

Yup, so don't try to BS a BS'er. I'm amazed they are still in business with their track record, but not taking responsibility for anything they break, blow up, seize, or burn is probably the part of the business plan that has allowed them to survive.

[BrooklynGLI87]

What's up everybody...I'm new to the West Palm Beach area....Any weekly meets going on? Trying to get back in the "VW scene" been out for a while since I got rid of my MKIV GLi and got a '12 Tiguan. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

[MasterNele03]

[BrooklynGLI87]

Yeah that was me. I had the black MKIV with Gold LM reps and full bolt ons LoL, I haven't been to that meet in forever. I live in Wellington now. Nothing is done to the Tig...YET. LoL I'm working on getting a roof rack and possibly some wheels. Right now it's completely stock with just dark tint all the way around.

There's a classic American muscle car meet in the same parking lot, & another meet with the air-cooled VW crowd. Something will be going on even if no water cooled VW's show up.
