AJ was the best salesperson I have ever encountered when

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 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.

I love this place!

I love this place! They treat you with respect and go the extra distance to ensure that you feel valued as a Customer. Often people in the car sales and service business seem to look at customers as a “sheep ready to be fleeced”, but this group obviously goes to great lengths to be different, to be your friend in the business, making certain that you understand all aspects of the process and what services are required, explaining cause and effect and viable options.
