Daniel, thank you for highlighting the courteous service and clean facilities at Bud Brown Volkswagen. We're glad to hear everything went smoothly during your visit!

We purchased a preowned car at Bud Brown VW .

We purchased a preowned car at Bud Brown VW . Last week we went in for our first oil change. We were amazed at the smiles and warm greetings. They explained what would be done and gave us time to ask questions. We had comfortable room to wait in and got reports. It was done in good time and we were on our way. It will be where we always take our car.

We brought our vehicle in for a 20,000 mile check and oil

We brought our vehicle in for a 20,000 mile check and oil change on October 15.We left it and they also found a tire needed to be replaced so they kept it overnight. After picked up the car the same check engine light was still on from when we left it. I tried call after we got home and only got vmail. Thinking it was an easy reset I finally called today and they told me there's a meter that may reset if it was missed when they were finished. Steve who spoke to today was nice enough to say he'd do it.Otherwise the next appointment available was November 15th. First we live in Western Shawnee and getting service is a pain that requires 2 people to leave one vehicle. Secondly this is our sons car who goes to KU and doesn't come home till the weekends. It's ridiculous that because somebody couldn't see a check engine light that we have to make arrangements to get back to Bud Brown for service.

Mr. Miller, while I do understand your frustration with your logistics situation (either to Lawrence where you purchased the vehicle, or to Olathe where you service it), you must also understand that our service department operates as two separate shops. We require no appointment when customers just come in for needed maintenance like your Jetta needed last week (oil change, cabin filter, and tire rotation); this is handled in the maintenance side of our shop. If there are more involved mechanical or diagnostic repairs (like a check engine light on) the car must go to the main side of the shop; this requires a scheduled appointment. We do try to be as accommodating as we can, but we also have limits to what we can get done without a scheduled appointment. Let us know if we can make that appointment for your Jetta. Thank you, Kelly Adams - Service Manager - 913-393-8140

My experience started out great with Jason who was

My experience started out great with Jason who was professional courteous and valued our time and was patient through multiple test drives and getting Keys for other vehicles as well. I felt we were close to making a deal until he introduced GM Rick Pringle who lost the sale through his arrogance. He acted offended that a customer would want to get as much out of their vehicle and/or buy new one at the cheapest price. He asked what I did followed up by saying “this isn’t your business” since I am only an engineer and not car dealer. If I am the one paying for it, it is my business and my business is to get the most for my current car and pay the least for my new one. A dealer can always say no without belittling you. It is unfortunate this is all over $1000 that I would have been willing to come down some off of. Luckily there are other dealers out there with this same car at a better price.

Really great experience, not use to that from other

Really great experience, not use to that from other dealers. Bud Brown was great. Steve in service was straight forward and no extra up sales. Just great service and quick turn around. 5 stars from me!

This dealership is at war with all other VW dealerships,

This dealership is at war with all other VW dealerships, even when it comes to customer safety. If you are considering them...RUN! Especially service. No one who has purchased a VW from another dealership is safe at BUD BROWN. They will let you leave with parts outside of safety standards, and then blame the other dealerships.
