Thanks bpeebles for your prompt reply. I just took it to another VW dealer to do a cross check.
Just found out that the rear brakes are still 4/12 mm thick and the front ones are 6/12 mm after my 46 K on the Jetta. Should be good for another 5K miles.
The other dealer even measured my tires and gave me a good figure on that.
Pretty honest I would say.
This just shows that VW Jetta owners have to be very careful from the shark type dealers providing VW Service. And VW is going to loose their market share for the reputation these dealers are creating for VW.
Honda and Toyota takes care of this.
#79 of 80 Volkswagen Jetta 2008 - Extended warranty by tigrone701
May 16, 2012 (1:53 pm)
Hi All,I have a Jetta 2008 and the 4 year 50,000 miles warranty is out.
How do you get an extended warranty on this car.
I am beginning to realize that any repair work on this car is going to be super expensive and the
VW service dealers are waiting there to induce that fear in you.
How do you get an extended warranty on this car and does it really help to have an extended warranty on this car
! Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

I have always believed that an "Extended warantee" is like "Insurance"... they are both gambling that something will go wrong. I prefer to keep my money in the bank and pay for repairs if they are needed... and KEEP my money if not needed.
Do not forget that the companies selling "Extended warantee" are in business to make money. They are making that money off of your fear that your car will break.
I like that my vehicles are paid for and I am banking the $$ I used to pay the bank for them. This will easily pay for any repairs or make for a great down-payment on my next car.
