I took in for an annual service, oil change. Rep told they would top up engine coolant. They did not even top up, coolant is just at min level as before. I am not sure if they really took care of my car and have done all inspections as they said

AJ was the best salesperson I have ever encountered when purchasing a new vehicle! He is so knowledgeable about many vehicles besides VW’s to help in comparison to this vehicle so I could make a more informed decision! I did not feel pressured at all. I have had some bad experiences with car salesmen in the past who didn’t appreciate the fact that a woman can make her own deal without her spouse’s help! I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a VW. Thank you for making it a truly enjoyable experience!

I service my golf tdi at this dealership.

I service my golf tdi at this dealership. I have never had a problem with them that they didn’t resolve to my satisfaction. My current service advisor even returns phone calls which is something rare for people his age, typically it’s just texts that folks that age return.
