I finally brought in my Taycan for a bunch of recalls and at the advice of the service manager, arranged for a loaner in case they had to hold my vehicle if it failed the battery test.
They gave me a base Macan for about 24 hours; after returning the car they actually sent me a bill for $13 of gas. This is my first Porsche but I’ve never had either Volvo or BMW nickel and dime me for gas. Even worse, I only drove 20 miles and there’s almost no way that’s $13; the tank wasn’t even full when they gave it to me.
Not that $13 breaks the bank but it just seems ridiculous that a so-called “premium” dealer does this. Not to mention the principle of the matter (ie don’t scam your customers!). I should’ve seen it coming based on my experience trying to buy a car from them (requiring for a five digit non refundable deposit with no guarantee on allocation) but their location was just too convenient for me to ignore.
Am I wrong to be annoyed? Was I just lucky to have good dealers in the past?
