VW Dealer Lists; Mod Friendly or UnFriendly - as reported by our members

[Irishbri]

Please post your experiences with mod friendly/unfriendly dealers and include their info so that I can add them to the respective list.

To read about the member experiences from which the first 30 names on the list were comprised click here > Poll: Warranty Claims when ECU Flashed (TD1 flagged)

How to use the Lists
If the dealer name is in Blue, you can click on it to be taken to the Unitronic Link to their site.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not affiliated with Unitronic in any way(See my sig). John was just good enough to provide these links in my previous thread, and I was just good enough to pass them along . I will be happy to add other Tuner affiliated dealers if and when they are made known to me.

You can click on the link to see the member post(s) that identified the dealer as Friendly or Unfriendly (will open in a new tab).

If there is no link it indicates they were called out in THIS thread.


Please keep in mind that this is a member-driven, work-in-progress, labor of (dub) love...

Constructive criticism is welcomed. Thanks for stopping by.

Even if you aren't modded, I would avoid Reydel VW of Edison NJ at all costs. Low class establishment. Was in 2006 when I almost bought a MK5 but didn't (50% of the reason was this dealership) and was in 2013 for my Mk6 when I brought my car in for its first service. only reason i went there again was because of convenience/distance.

World VW of Neptune NJ however, hands down, best dealership experience ever! Freehold is a nice establishment as well

Southbay vw California is all bad! ! Wouldn't replace the bent factory wheel they promised to replace during my test drive when I noticed it!

Nice work; you should probably sort this by state to make your job and searching through it much easier as it grows. :thumbsup:
